This market research study identifies Porsche, BMW Motorrad, and Subaru as the leading players in the global automotive flat boxer engine market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by the vehicle type (cars segment and motorcycles segment) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
Overview of the global automotive flat boxer engine market
Technavio’s market research report estimates that the global automotive flat boxer engine market will grow at a steady rate and in terms of units, will post a CAGR of about 5% during the forecast period. The unique designs of flat boxer engines that will enhance the vehicle’s performance due to minimal engine vibrations will be one of the major factors driving the growth prospects of the automotive flat boxer engine market until the end of 2021. The manufacturers and end users are increasingly shifting from conventional engine designs such as inline and V-type towards the installation of flat boxer engines since these engines offer a low center of gravity (COG) due to the horizontal positioning of the vehicle. As a result, they offer better riding experience, better handling, enhance lateral acceleration, and improve the cornering and turning capabilities at high speeds. Additionally, these engines also allow better traction from the surface and reduce the chances of rollover accidents, which in turn, will further stimulate the market’s growth.
With the increasing demand, manufacturers will increasingly focus on developing advanced engines that offer better fuel efficiency with minimal engine vibrations. A leading automotive manufacturer Subaru, has already manufactured a new generation of flat boxer engines known as the FB series. These engines have reduced cylinder diameter which enables the faster suction of air. This in turn, reduces the amount of unburnt fuel which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces carbon emissions. According to this market research study, this development of engines with improved fuel efficiency and reduced friction losses will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in the automotive flat boxer engine market during the next four years.
