MRFR’s report on the automotive actuators market comprises growth drivers, challenges, and trends on the industry for the forecast period (2020-2027). The COVID-19 pandemic and its implications are explored in depth in the market. The comprehensive report delves into various mechanisms of components in vehicles, impact on supply chain, and regional demand for a broad perspective.

Market Scope

The global automotive actuators market is driven by advances in electric and connected vehicles. Automotive actuators take in energy from electrical and kinetic energy to convert it into motion. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy and help in regulating engine speed, flywheel rotations, and engine torque. Increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and procurement of actuators can augur favorably for the market.

But high costs of automotive actuators solutions may hamper market growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the automotive actuators market. Shutdown of facilities and delay in supply chains has sent a negative shock in the industry. Sluggish interest in the automotive sector owing to control over high spending on luxury items as well as lockdowns by countries can affect market growth.

Segmentation

Electrical Actuators to Spur Market Growth

Electrical actuators can exhibit a strong growth rate owing to its use in conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy. The focus on comfort is expected to provide opportunities for electrical actuators. They are used in controlling sunroof, seats, and window lift. It is widely used in the automotive sector. On the other hand, the hydraulic actuator can display a strong demand owing to exhibiting large force for a sustained duration.

Fuel Injection Actuator Application to Gain Traction

The fuel injection actuator application is estimated to gain traction by injecting fuel through a port located in the engine during idle time. It can be adjusted through the electronic control unit. On the other hand, the throttle actuator is set to convert the mechanical force of the accelerator by opening the throttle valve in the combustion chamber.

Passenger Cars to Dominate Market Demand

Passenger cars are deemed to dominate the market share owing to sales of passenger vehicles globally. Seat adjustments for improving the comfort and safety of passengers can drive the segment demand. Actuators can provide lumbar support, change positions and seat angles, and track seats.
