Global Automotive Oxygen Sensor Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global automotive oxygen sensor market

Downsized engines produce high amount of heat and this demands the need for high-density heat-resistant materials in vehicles to prevent damage. It is essential to manufacture oxygen sensors in down sized engines with high-density heat-resistant materials to prevent damage from excessive heat. Technavio’s market research report has identified rising penetration of down-sized engines as one of the primary factors that will fuel the growth of the automotive oxygen sensor market in the coming years. In cases where the exhaust gases contain high levels of unburnt oxygen, the oxygen sensor gives a signal that would indicate increased voltage, and this will be interpreted by the vehicles ECU. Owing to the rising penetration of down-sized engines in the automotive industry will in turn upsurge the demand for automotive oxygen sensors. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that in terms of units, this global market will grow at a CAGR of more than 2% by 2021.

The adoption of intake type automotive oxygen sensor will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the automotive oxygen sensor market in the coming years. The intake type oxygen sensor is equipped with improved capabilities in detecting the amount of oxygen gases intake and will help in decreasing the formation nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. Additionally, these oxygen sensors also aid in reducing the engine’s pumping losses. By redirecting the exhaust gases, the adoption of these intake type oxygen sensors also helps in eliminating the need to suck in additional intake air for combustion. Owing to such advantages, the adoption of these sensors will increase in the coming years, fueling the growth prospects of this global market.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The automotive oxygen sensor market appears to be moderately fragmented due to the presence of international and regional vendors. The regional players face major challenges from the established vendors especially in terms factors such as quality, technology, and product features.
