Global Automotive Coolant Hose Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies Continental, Eaton, Gates, Sumitomo Riko, and Toyoda Gosei as the key vendors in the global automotive coolant hose market. The report also presents a comprehensive analysis of the market by application (passenger car and commercial vehicle) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global automotive coolant hose market

According to Technavio’s market research and analysis, the increasing sales of passenger cars will be one of the primary factors that will fuel the growth of the automotive coolant hose market in the coming years. Owing to the decreasing interest rates for car loans in countries such as the US, there is a rise in the purchase of automobiles in the luxury segment. Moreover, there is a significant rise in demand for SUVs and crossovers in the Chinese and European markets. This growing sale of passenger cars will subsequently drive the need for coolant hoses, fueling market growth. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this global market will register a revenue of almost USD 5 billion by 2021.

One of the key trends that will gain traction in the automotive coolant hose market in the coming years is the development of coolant hoses that can adapt to all types of coolants. Most of the automotive manufacturers use ethylene glycol-based coolants. However, owing to the benefits such as better heat transfer, less toxicity, and thermal conductivity properties, the adoption of propylene glycol-based coolants is increasing. Moreover, propylene glycol-based coolants do not affect vehicle performance while mixed with other coolants and also exhibit higher viscosity when compared to ethylene glycol. This will increase the preference of automotive OEMs towards these coolants, inducing coolant hose manufacturers to focus on developing hoses that can adapt to several kinds of coolants.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The automotive coolant hose market is highly fragmented due to the presence of several suppliers. Technological advancements, the introduction of stringent emission norms, and the growing focus on reducing the vehicle’s weight, will intensify the competitive environment among the players in this engine coolant hose market.
