Global Automotive Engine Valves Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Fuel Type (Gasoline Engine and Diesel Engine), By Technology (Spring Return Valves, Tappet Valves, Desmodromic Valves, and Quattrovalvole Valves), and By Distribution Channel (OEM and Aftermarket), Forecast (2022-2028)

The automotive engine valves market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2022-2028). A valve is a vital component of a vehicle’s combustion engine that regulates the flow of exhaust gases and fuel in each cylinder. Engine valves are crucial in determining the performance of a vehicle’s engine as they regulate the flow of exhaust gases and fuel into and out of the cylinder. The optimum air and fuel mixture ratio of a vehicle is determined by the timing of an engine valve. This aids the engine in achieving optimal economy and pollution reduction. The desire to decrease the effect of vehicle carbon emissions and enhance fuel efficiency are the primary forces driving the growth of the automotive engine valve market. Furthermore, engine downsizing by leading vehicle manufacturers has resulted in significant investment in research and development of different innovative variable valve timing approaches to improve the engine’s overall performance.

The global automotive engine valves market is segmented based on fuel type and technology. Based on the fuel type, the market is sub-segmented into gasoline engines and diesel engines. Among these segments, the diesel engine segment is expected to propel the growth of the market due to the rising demand for diesel engine vehicles. Based on the technology, the market is sub-segmented into spring return valves, tappet valves, desmodromic valves, and quattrovalvole valves.

The market players are also contributing significantly to the market’s growth by adopting various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in August 2021, Eaton’s Vehicle Group announced the launch of its next-generation sodium-filled hollow-head valves, which enhance fuel efficiency, decrease vehicle emissions, and improve performance in gas-powered engines. The valves have a one-of-a-kind design that reduces cylinder chamber temperature while also reducing engine knock. The head component of the new valves, unlike typical hollow valves, is made up of two independent portions that are welded together during the manufacturing process. This allows for more flexibility in the sodium cavity design, resulting in increased capacity and optimized sodium flow. The valves meet the most stringent industry validation criteria due to the welding design and proven technology.
