Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The improvement in the aftermarket segment is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the increase in annual wage leading to declining profit margins 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 timing belt industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Timing Belt Market Driver
The improvement in the aftermarket segment is one of the key drivers fueling the market growth. Primarily, the OEM segment purchased timing belt components in a standard quantity to produce new automotive products. Well, the requirement is large but the bulk revenue is dependent on the global automobile market. The timing belt occupies a large market share after the automotive wiper system in the aftermarket segment. However, manufacturers in the aftermarket sector have their own distribution channels for both global and local markets. On the other hand, the growing middle-class population, in conjunction with increasing purchasing power, is driving the sales of vehicles and providing potential opportunities for aftermarket parts, such as automotive timing belts. Thus, such factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Timing Belt Market Trend
The use of thermally-stable materials for producing timing belts is one of the key market trends propelling the market growth. Thermally stable materials such as elastomers made of HNBR, which have the properties to maintain physical strength and structure when exposed to constantly increasing heat, can be used to manufacture automotive timing belts. However, HNBR is expensive when compared with conventional fibres used in manufacturing as the compounds have a high tensile strength of 20 MPa 31 MPa at 73.4 degrees F. Furthermore, they are highly heat resistant. For instance, automotive timing belts made of HNBR can operate in temperatures that range from -40 degrees F to 329 degrees F. Such factors are anticipated to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Timing Belt Market Challenge
The increase in annual wage leading to declining profit margins is one of the factors impeding the market growth. There are many upcoming stringent environmental requirements for operating a production facility, which is posing a challenge and cost pressure on automotive parts manufacturers in emerging countries such as China and India. Meanwhile, as the production cost increases, manufacturers will have to explore other means to maintain the low-cost advantage and their profit margins, where the automotive parts manufacturers, including timing belt manufacturers, will witness additional pressure from OEMs. Such increasing pressure will impede the market growth during the forecast period.
This market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
