Engine Cylinder Deactivation Market Latest Innovations, Drivers And Industry Key Events 2021

Increase in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles prompted by the enactment of stringent emission norms and regulations by government authorities and regulatory bodies across the globe is anticipated to drive the global engine cylinder deactivation market
Vehicle emission is a major contributor to the increase in air pollution and causes climate change across the globe. Therefore, post signing of the Paris Agreement in 2016, various governments have enacted stringent regulations on the auto industry, which is prompting automakers to innovate advanced solutions to curb vehicle emission and consequently, reduce its impact on air pollution. This is a key factor driving developments in vehicle engine technology and subsequently, driving the global engine cylinder deactivation market.

Rise in preference toward vehicles with enhanced power is anticipated to drive the global engine cylinder deactivation market. Engines with more cylinders deliver more power. These engines are fitted with a cylinder deactivation system to facilitate the deactivation of a few cylinders while the engine is operating. This, in turn, helps decrease fuel consumption and improve fuel-efficiency on long roads or highways; consequently, reducing vehicle emissions.

Technological advancements aimed at improving vehicle efficiency are expected to boost the global engine cylinder deactivation market. For instance, adoption of the overhead CAM design method in engines is rising, as compared to the pushrod design, due to several advantages offered by the technology, such as high performance and increased fuel economy, better airflow that can be used to expand the operating range of high-speed engines. This is expected to propel the global engine cylinder deactivation market.
Rise in per capita income indicates an increase in the purchasing capacity of the population in the respective region. This, in turn, is propelling the trend of owning a vehicle among the population, thereby fueling sales of vehicles across the globe and consequently, propelling the global engine cylinder deactivation market.
However, disruptions in supply chain catering to the automobile industry, owing to shutdown of production and manufacturing facilities caused by the coronavirus pandemic across the world, is estimated to contract the market in 2020-2021. Consequently, the coronavirus pandemic has hampered the global engine cylinder deactivation market.
