Engine Heat Shield Market

Engine Heat Shield Market: Introduction

• The exhaust system, from the engine exhaust manifold to the tailpipe, is a major heat generating component of an I.C. engine vehicle, which fuels the need for effective heat management solutions.
• The engine heat shield protects these automobile components from absorbing excessive heat either by dissipating, reflecting, or simply absorbing the heat generated. The heat shield is a widely used heat management option in vehicles as it is easy to install and highly cost-effective.

Key Drivers of Engine Heat Shield Market

• The per capita GDP of the global population is rising, which has led to an increase in disposable income of people. For instance, in September 2020, the Indian Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation stated in a press release that per capita income of households in India rose from US$ 993.86 in FY15 to US$ 1296.22 in FY19. This rise in disposable income fueled the sales of vehicles annually. Engine heat shields have become an integral part of automobiles and are being extensively employed to provide flame resistance from components that release excess heat. Rising sale of vehicles is driving the demand for engine heat shield across the globe.
• Demand for high performance automobiles has been increasing worldwide. This has compelled automakers to integrate high power-rated engines in their vehicles along with other equipment such as turbochargers and catalytic converters. These high power engines and components maximize the heat generated under the vehicle’s hood, which can cause potential damage to the vehicle. Hence, automakers are increasing installing heat shields in their vehicle models to reduce the possibility of damage through excessive heat, thus propelling the global engine heat shield market.

Challenges in Engine Heat Shield Market

• Rise in concerns related to emissions and scarcity of fossil fuels have boosted consumer preference toward electric vehicles, which eliminate the I.C. engine or reduce its use. This increase in demand for electric vehicles is hampering the global engine shield market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Engine Heat Shield Market

• The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted automotive supply chains, thus creating a shortage of raw materials and components. However, demand for engine heat shield across the globe is anticipated to increase, as governments are easing restrictions and companies are restarting their operations with precautionary measures.

Asia Pacific to Hold Significant Share of Global Engine Heat Shield Market

• The presence of leading automobile manufacturers in major countries across Asia Pacific region, such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea has increased the demand for engine heat shields. Moreover, the implementation of stringent emission norms is further boosting the demand for engine heat shield, as it reduces the emission of CO2 from the vehicle by maintaining required temperature within the engine compartment. These factors are propelling the share held by Asia Pacific in the global engine shield market.
