Cylinder head gaskets are used to seal the gap between the engine block and cylinder head to prevent spillage of oil and coolant. Gaskets for automobiles are designed to withstand both high and low compressive loads. The main purpose of the cylinder head gasket is to provide maximum compression to be obtained during the compression cycle. The head gasket covers not only the exterior border of the head, but also the spaces between the cylinders, coolant and oil ports, bolts, and guide pins. It is normally preferable for the gasket to be made of somewhat yielding material, allowing it to deform and snugly cover the space for which it was designed. Metals, especially multi-layered steel and copper, graphite, and composites are the materials used to make automotive gaskets.

Segment Analysis

Vehicle Trends

The automotive cylinder head gaskets market is segmented as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCV), and medium- & heavy-duty commercial vehicles (M&HCV). Despite a drop in 2020, passenger cars are predicted to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing vehicle type in the market during the forecast period. The expected recovery in the production of passenger cars has been accelerated by rising demand in developing countries, such as China and India. The development of powerful, compact, and highly efficient engines is the major factor behind the fastest growth of the passenger segment during the forecast period. 

Material Trends

"Metallic head gaskets segment accounted for the largest market share."

The market is segmented into metallic head gaskets and other head gaskets. Metallic head gaskets are expected to remain the dominant material type in the market during the forecast period. It is a desirable material for high-performance applications owing to its strength, stiffness, and toughness. Key suppliers in the automotive gasket market have concentrated on the development of efficient gaskets and seals composed of high-quality materials and constructed to withstand high heat and pressure. Increasing demand for multi-layered steel cylinder head gaskets to fulfill the emergent needs of the new, advanced, and powerful automobile engines is boosting the demand for metallic head gaskets in the market. 

End-User Trends

"OE segment accounted for the largest market share."

The market is segmented as OE and aftermarket. OE is expected to remain the larger segment of the market during the forecast period. The OE segment growth is analogous to organic growth in vehicle production, whereas the aftermarket segment growth is majorly dependent on the service life of the cylinder gasket. The average life of a cylinder head gasket is usually 200,000 miles in operation.

Regional Insights

"Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share."

Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for automotive cylinder head gaskets during the forecast period. Countries like China and India are the key growth engines of the region’s market coupled with the presence of major OEMs, tier players, and raw material suppliers in the region. The automotive industry in Asia-Pacific has undergone one of the most profound transformations in its history. The market is gaining ground in terms of worldwide vehicle sales.
