Overview of the global automotive fuel pipes market

Technavio's research analysis on the global automotive fuel pipes market identifies that the rising focus on lowering the curb weight of the vehicle will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The automotive industry is largely focusing on lowering the weight of the vehicles, as it will offer improved agility, improved driving dynamics, and results in lower fuel consumption. Due to this, fuel pipe manufacturers are increasingly using carbon fiber reinforced plastics to decrease the weight of the vehicle. This trend has gained limited prominence due to its high costs.  However, with the advancements in technology and economies of scale, the cost of carbon fiber will significantly drop by 2021. Also, the stringent carbon emission targets set by governments and associated penalties has driven the OEMs to concentrate on weight reduction. As a result, our expert analysts expect that the automotive fuel pipes made of high-performance plastics and reinforced carbon fiber will be in demand during the forecast period. Our market research analysts predict that this market will post a revenue of more than USD 2.3 billion by 2021.

The increased use of non-corrosive materials is one of the key trends that will gain traction in the automotive fuel pipes market. Automotive fuel pipes are exposed to numerous external elements and are susceptible to rust and damage requiring a quicker replacement. The vehicles used in snow, rain, and ice are prone to corrosive winter road salt and moisture. As a result, OEMs are manufacturing the vehicles with non-corrosive materials, such as thermoplastics that can protect the automotive fuel pipes from rusting and enhancing their lifespan.
