Global Automotive Variable Displacement Engine Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global automotive variable displacement engine market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that in terms of units, the global automotive variable displacement engine market will grow steadily at a CAGR of over 27% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the downsizing of engines as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The growing emphasis on reducing carbon dioxide emissions and boosting fuel efficiency has induced OEMs to downsize their internal combustion engine (ICEs). This will reduce fuel consumption by reducing engine displacement while increasing the power/displacement ratio. Downsizing is done by the deactivation of the cylinders according to the required load conditions of the vehicle instead of decreasing the number of engines. This will change the complete design of the engine and its placement in the vehicle and will pose as one of the most cost-effective and flexible ways of reducing emissions from vehicles.

The shift of DEAC technology toward mid-segment and smaller segment vehicles is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the automotive variable displacement engine market in the coming years. The use of DEAC technology in mid-segment and smaller segment vehicles will reduce fuel consumption as it avoids pumping loss and reactivates the engine cylinder faster. With the increasing volumes of mid-segment and smaller vehicles across the globe, this trend will significantly fuel the market’s growth prospects in the next few years.
