    Segment Analysis

    Vehicle Type

    The market is segmented as passenger car, LCV, and M&HCV. Despite a drop in 2020, passenger car is predicted to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing vehicle type in the market during the forecast period. With the increasing production of electric vehicles, there has been an incessant demand for specialty gaskets to protect electric motors from lubricants and to cover battery housings from dirt, moisture, and external environmental conditions.  

    Material Type

    The market is segmented as metallic gaskets, elastomeric gaskets, composite gaskets, and other gaskets. Metallic gaskets are expected to remain the most dominant material type in the market during the forecast period. Because of their strength, stiffness, and toughness, metallic gaskets are suitable for high-performance applications. Major automobile gasket suppliers are focused on designing cost-effective gaskets made of high-quality materials and built to endure extreme heat and pressure.

    Application Type

    The market is segmented as inlet section, central engine system, exhaust section, transmission system, battery, and others. Central engine system is expected to remain the larger segment of the market during the forecast period. Stringing vehicle emission standards across the world are enforcing automotive stakeholders to focus on engine downsizing and exhaust gas purification systems. This is increasing the demand for highly efficient engine gaskets that can withstand extreme temperature and pressure conditions.

    End-User Type

    The market is segmented as OE and aftermarket. OE is likely to continue to be the market's larger segment throughout the projection period. High durability and reliability of the gaskets is the major factor behind the dominance of the OE segment in the automotive specialty gaskets market.

    Regional Analysis

    Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for automotive specialty gaskets during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific is the leading producer of automobiles with huge production bases in China, Japan, India, Korea, and Thailand. North America is projected to witness the highest growth in the automotive specialty gaskets market during the forecast period, mainly driven by the USA.
