According to Technavio’s market research report, the global automotive homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) market will grow rapidly at a CAGR of more than 17% during the forecast period. The compatibility of HCCI engines with alternative fuels will drive the growth prospects for the market for the next four years. The technology is gaining traction in the market because it has many benefits such as high efficient engine performance and fuel efficiency, which makes it highly compatible with various types of fuels. These benefits encourage more automakers to invest in commercializing this technology. Many engine designers and developers also employ gasoline in HCCI engines. They are also focusing on integrating fuels that possess high octane number with high cetane number to enhance the durability and reliability of the engine. Such innovations will also reduce CO (carbon monoxide) and NOx (nitrous oxide) emissions. With the increasing degree of flexibility and compatibility, the popularity of these engines will increase during the projected period.
The development of DiesOtto by Mercedes-Benz is one of the key trends stimulating growth in the global automotive HCCI market. The engine can deliver 238 hp at 400 nm of torque since it consists of two-stage turbocharging with 1.8-liter engine displacement. The popularity of DiesOtto engine will increase as it runs on gasoline and can turn into a self-igniting system on the basis of compression ignition for low- and medium-speed applications.
The automotive homogenous charge compression ignition market has a few well-known and established vendors. These vendors are increasingly focusing on designing efficient automotive HCCI engines. The official launch of this technology will lead to immense competition among various players. Vendors do not provide these technologies for a commercial purpose because it requires heavy investments in the research and developmental activities.
Key vendors in this market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include Volkswagen and Daimler.
Mazda Motors accounted for the majority of the market shares during 2016. The ongoing research and testing of HCCI engines by the automaker will drive the development of Mazda HCCI during the predicted period.
The development of HCCI prototype with the throttle body fuel injector and the secondary piston is one of the key trends infusing growth in the market. This design converts more than 50% of the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy. Consequently, the thermal efficiency of the engine increases more than 50%.
This report provides a number of factors contributing to the adoption, limitations, and opportunities of the global automotive homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) market. It also offers an analysis of each factor and an estimation of the extent to which the factors are likely to impact the overall market growth.
Technavio also offers customization on reports based on specific client requirement.
In earlier days, diesel engines were preferred because of its superior power and better fuel economy. However, with time, gas engines became more mainstream because they produced fewer toxic emissions. The new technology combines the best of both worlds in the form of homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) by giving more power, better fuel economy, and lower emissions. Technavio provides up-to-date information on the automotive industry and covers related segments such as automotive manufacturing, automotive components, and wheels and tires. The upcoming research report on the global automotive homogenous charge compression ignition market offers a deep understanding of the emerging technology and assesses the market size and key geographies to help clients in their strategic decision-making processes.
By involving in extensive primary and secondary research, research analyst at Technavio gather information on factors such as changing customer demand, key vendors, and competitive landscape. The upcoming research report on the global automotive homogenous charge compression ignition market also considers the growth of related markets such as global automotive high-pressure fuel pump market and global automotive differential market, which are expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% and 6%, respectively, for the forecast period of 2017 to 2021. The technology for the time being has been mostly experimental, but few manufacturers are rolling out models with this technology, which provides better fuel economy. This is expected to drive consumer demand for such car and thus the demand for this technology.
The upcoming report on the automotive homogenous charge compression ignition market also includes an extensive study of the key drivers, emerging trends, consumer behavior, and opportunities and challenges faced by the industry. The report also covers related markets such as automotive electronics and automotive services.
