The Global Automotive Cylinder Head Market: Highlights
The global automotive cylinder head market offers good growth opportunity and is likely to grow at 3.2% CAGR during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. Organic growth of the global automotive vehicle production owing to increasing disposable income and growing urbanization are the major growth drivers of the global automotive cylinder head market. Additionally, increasing demand of complex and lightweight cylinder head to either reduce overall vehicle weight or to enhance engine performance for achieving stringent government regulations, such as CAFÉ Standards is likely to supplement the growth of automotive cylinder market over the next five years.
The global automotive cylinder head market is segmented into three categories; passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and medium & heavy duty commercial vehicles. Passenger car is expected to remain the growth engine of the global automotive cylinder head market during the forecast period. The high number of vehicle production and higher demand of lightweight products are the major growth drivers of the segment in the next five years.
Major automakers, such as Ford, are shifting towards aluminum for manufacturing engine parts including cylinder head for their mass produced vehicles. Ford F-150 uses about 1,080 lbs of aluminum (25% of curb weight) including 66 lbs of cylinder head.
Currently, cast iron dominates the global automotive cylinder head market in terms of materials, however, aluminum is likely to experience the fastest growth over the next five years, driven by advantage of lightweight and ability to develop complex parts. Titanium is very expensive but provides the highest weight reduction as compared to the aluminum and cast iron.
