Automotive Glow Plugs Market Analysis
The Automotive Glow Plugs Market size is estimated at USD 4.67 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.69 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.01% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the automotive glow plug market more quickly and severely. It started as a domestic supply crisis in China, thereby, rapidly turning into the biggest ever drop in global aftermarket demand, approaching a 20% drop in the parts and components industry. Major companies in the aftermarket business shifted their aim from production recovery plans to protecting employees, cost savings, and safeguarding liquidity.
Glow plugs are an integral part of diesel ignition systems. Despite a slight decline in a global vehicle production number in 2019, the demand for glow plugs is anticipated to continue till the forecast period, as the aftermarket channel has been consistently active in the firm's sales.
According to Eurostat, about 75% of inland cargo transports within the European Union, which translates to about 1,750 billion metric ton-kilometers (t km), takes place by road. In some European countries, this percentage goes as high as 90%, or more. As a result, the demand for commercial vehicles, and subsequently, the glow plugs from OEM and aftermarket channels, has been continually increasing in the region, owing to the growing logistics industry and the increasing usage of light commercial vehicles, such as vans (for ride-hailing services).
Several developing economies, such as ASEAN countries, witness a significant number of diesel engine-powered vehicle sales. For instance, in the ASEAN market, top-selling passenger vehicles and pick-up trucks are powered by diesel engines. Ford Ranger was among the top-selling passenger vehicles in the ASEAN market in 2020.
