Automotive Knock Sensor Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The stringent regulations regarding emission, driving adoption of powertrain sensors is notably driving the automotive knock sensor market growth, although factors such as rising demand for electrification of powertrains may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive knock sensor industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Knock Sensor Market Driver

• The stringent regulations regarding emission, driving the adoption of powertrain sensors is one of the factors driving the automotive knock sensor market growth.
• Many countries are working on implementing stringent emission norms in response to the growing concerns regarding the environment and health. Moreover, reducing emissions and fuel consumption are the main objectives behind the implementation of more stringent emission norms.
• Primarily, the legislation mandates the use of powertrain sensors in most new vehicles, thereby increasing their adoption.
• Developing countries, such as India, are witnessing the adoption of stringent regulations, thereby influencing market growth. For instance, the government of India announced the adoption of BS-VI norms directly by skipping BS-V norms in 2020. This announcement pushed the automotive OEMs to work toward the development of advanced systems, consequently increasing the adoption of powertrain sensors.

Key Automotive Knock Sensor Market Trend

• The flat response knock sensor is one of the key automotive knock sensor market trends fueling market growth.
• The design of flat response knock sensors allows their usage in various types of IC engines like two-stroke engines, alternative fuel engines, diesel engines, and flexible fuel engines. This sensor is a self-generating piezoelectric sensor, which is mounted either on the engine block or on the cylinder head.
• The knock is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) in the sensor by delaying spark timing in the case of a gasoline engine or the diesel injection timing in the case of a diesel engine.
• The sensor has a ground-isolated design with a two-wire shielded harness, and it helps in protecting the sensor signal from electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
• The technical specifications of the flat response knock sensor, which has a flat frequency response that ranges between 1 and 18 kHz, would help its usage in different engines by simply adjusting the filter frequency of the signal processing electronics. Such factors of flat response knock sensor will fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Automotive Knock Sensor Market Challenge

• The rising demand for electrification of powertrains is one of the key factors challenging the automotive knock sensor market growth.
• The electrification of automobiles is increasing 45%-50% of the cost of the automobile owing to increased safety features, such as driver assistance system (DAS) and certain regulatory standards that stipulate the mandatory installation of onboard diagnostics (OBD) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• The shifting focus of automotive OEMs toward the electrification of the automotive powertrain has resulted in the increased sales of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles in the market.
• The powertrain in IC engine-operated modern vehicles utilizes many automotive sensors owing to the increased focus of automotive OEMs on improving fuel efficiency and the performance of IC engines
• Knock sensors account for the major part used in the powertrain of an IC engine. However, in the case of an electric vehicle, sensors like barometric air pressure (BAP), MAP, air intake pressure, knock, and pressure used in the exhaust system would not be required due to the electrification of the powertrain. Thus, the increasing electrification of the powertrain will challenge the market growth during the forecast period.
