What is an automotive gasket?
An automotive gasket is a flat piece of seal that covers the gap between two or more mating surfaces, preventing leakages from or into the joined objects while they are compressed. It is a deformable material that is used to generate a static seal and maintain that seal under varied operating circumstances. The choice of material plays an important role in the market while developing gaskets for specific applications. Metals, graphite, and composites are the materials used to make automotive gaskets. Conformity, high temperature, pressure, chemical resistance, impermeability, and provision of apertures were the key requirements of an automotive gasket. Automotive gaskets are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and standards.
Market Dynamics
The journey of gaskets in the automotive industry has undergone tremendous evolution with changing market requirements in the industry. From the steam engine period to the development of internal combustion engines, the changing concept and design of automotive engines have enforced automotive gasket manufacturers to develop suitable gaskets which meet current market requirements. Further, the increase in the development of smaller, compact, and powerful engines with features like direct injection and hybrid technology creates an enormous demand for advancements in gaskets’ technology. Apart from engines, the development of thinner and less rigid parts exposed to high temperatures and pressures driving additional demand for gaskets.
After the colossal decline in the market in 2018 and 2019, the industry was expecting a healthy recovery with growth in automotive production in 2020. The automotive gaskets market saw a decline of -15.9% in 2020. The long-term picture, on the other hand, appears promising, owing to the industry's robust character and solid fundamentals, such as recovery in automotive production, increasing demand for lightweight materials to improve fuel economy governed by stringent fuel emission standards, and increase in the development of autonomous vehicles.
Segment Analysis
Vehicle Trends
The automotive gaskets market is segmented as passenger car, light commercial vehicle, and medium- & heavy-duty commercial vehicle. Passenger car is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market in the coming years. Integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the internet of things, connectivity, and human-machine interface, is likely to create huge changes in the design and ergonomics of the vehicle. This along with the increasing shift towards personal mobility from public mobility is likely to create ample growth in the market in foreseeable future.
, to know the market segment details.
MaterialTrends
The market is segmented into metallic gaskets, elastomeric gaskets, and other gaskets. Metallic gaskets are expected to remain the most dominant material type, whereas elastomeric gaskets are expected to be the fastest-growing material in the market during the forecast period. Increasing demand for providing reliable seals for fuel, coolant, and engine oil coupled with increasing demand for plastic components to produce lighter and compact vehicles are the major factors driving the demand for elastomeric gaskets over the next five years.
Application Trends
The market is segmented as inlet section, central engine system, exhaust section, transmission system, battery, and others. The central engine system is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for gaskets during the forecast period. A large number of applications of gaskets including the cylinder head, oil pan, manifold, crankshaft, exhaust, pumps, etc. in the automotive engine is the major factor behind the dominance of engine application in the market. Gaskets are commonly linked with internal combustion engines; however, they are now widely used in electric vehicles. Electric motors must be protected from lubricants used in wheel axles and external environmental conditions in electric vehicles, which is creating significant commercial opportunities for the gasket stakeholders.
End-User Trends
The market is segmented as OE and aftermarket. OE is expected to remain the largest segment of the market during the forecast period, owing to the longer life span of gaskets. Organic growth of the automotive industry, advancements in technologies, changing the size of components, development of smaller displacements, and turbocharged engines are the major factors for healthy growth of the OE segment in the market over the next five years.
Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for automotive gaskets during the forecast period. With the presence of a large number of OEMs, tier players, and raw material suppliers, Asia-Pacific is a hub of the automotive industry. China and India are the growth engines of the region’s market. North America is likely to grow at the fastest rate in the automotive gaskets market over the next five years, driven by an expected rebound in vehicle production coupled with a paradigm shift from ICE to electric vehicles.
