Global Automotive Throttle Body Assembly Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies Bosch, Continental, Delphi, and Magneti Marelli as the key vendors in the global automotive throttle body assembly market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by application (passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global automotive throttle body assembly market

According to Technavio’s market research analysis, the rising demand for individual throttle bodies will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the global automotive throttle body assembly market during the forecast period. Our market research analysts predict that this market will post a revenue growth of more than USD 17 billion by 2021. Individual throttle bodies (ITBs) offer improved throttle response than conventional ones. In ITBs, each cylinder has individual butterfly valve with modifiable air intake, rather than all cylinders sharing one valve. ITBs also remove the need for an intake manifold. For instance, Chevy V8-powered Eisert Indy 500 race car did not have an intake manifold. Moreover, ITBs are generally used in race cars and have been gradually adopted in luxury and super sports cars to provide better throttle response. The steady growth in the luxury car and motorsport markets is driving the growth of the automotive throttle body assembly market.

The rising popularity of throttle body spacers is one of the key trends that will contribute to the market growth in the forthcoming years. A throttle body spacer is an added component fixed to the throttle body to pump more air into the engine that increases the performance of the engine. Previously, the old carburetor engines used the throttle body spacers to manipulate the air intake. These spacers gaining increased popularity due to the enhanced engine performance experienced by users. These custom parts are increasingly adopted by automotive enthusiasts.
