Market Trends of North America Automotive Hydraulic Actuators Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Automotive Hydraulic Actuators Market according to our research experts:
Off-highway vehicle segment is estimated to be the fastest during the forecast period
The off-highway vehicle segment is anticipated to be the fastest in the automotive actuators market. Increasing government investments in infrastructural development, thriving agricultural businesses in developing nations, and the emergence of leased/rent-based equipment are driving the off-highway vehicle market. The traditional role of actuators in off-highway vehicles has involved the application of force to perform tasks. As vehicles become complex, OEMs are accumulating features that naturally involve the use of electronic controls to deliver more complex, optimized, and safer motion.
Increase in Automation Driving Growth
Of all the application types, the throttle actuator involves the conversion of the mechanical force applied on the accelerator pedal, resulting into proportionate throttle control, which involves appropriate opening of the throttle valve, in the engine combustion chamber. The fuel injection actuator involves the opening of the fuel injection port located in the engine, according to the set idle timing of the engine, which helps to inject the fuel into the engine combustion chamber. The working of this actuator is thus related to the throttle control valve and can be adjusted through the electronic control unit of the automobile. The brake actuator involves conversion of the mechanical force exerted on the brake pedal and conversion of the same into proportionate working of the brake system, which involves friction between either the drums of the drum brake or the brake pads and the disc within the disc brake mechanism.
