Automotive Specialty Gaskets Market: Research Highlights

Specialty gaskets include all types of gaskets used in the automotive industry other than cylinder head gaskets. It is a flexible sealing system that helps prevent leakages, maintain internal pressures, and block the intrusion of foreign materials such as, dirt and pollutants. With the increasing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry with a sole aim to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, the demand for highly efficient, robust, and reliable gaskets is evolving that meet the requirements of modern automotive engines & systems. With technical advancements, gaskets now provide a cost-effective way to improve fuel efficiency paired with lowering repair and maintenance costs, extending the average life span of vehicle components.

Until 2017, the automotive industry was seeing healthy expansion. Following that, the industry had a severe downturn in 2018 and 2019, mainly due to the US-China trade war, which resulted in a global economic recession. While a good recovery was projected in 2020, the pandemic hit the industry hard in 2020, causing significant disruption and losses for stakeholders. In 2020, the market for specialty gaskets dropped by -16.0% causing unthinkable loss to the shareholders. The long-term outlook appears to be favorable. The market for specialty gaskets in the automotive industry is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.6% during 2021-2026, taking the market to US$ 2.3 billion by 2026.

Based on the vehicle type, despite a drop in 2020, passenger car is predicted to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing vehicle type in the market during the forecast period. With the increasing production of electric vehicles, there has been an incessant demand for specialty gaskets to protect electric motors from lubricants and to cover battery housings from dirt, moisture, and external environmental conditions.

Based on the material type, metallic gaskets are expected to remain the most dominant material type in the market during the forecast period. Because of their strength, stiffness, and toughness, metallic gaskets are suitable for high-performance applications. Major automobile gasket suppliers are focused on designing cost-effective gaskets made of high-quality materials and built to endure extreme heat and pressure.

Based on the application type, central engine system is expected to remain the larger segment of the market during the forecast period. Stringing vehicle emission standards across the world is enforcing automotive stakeholders to focus on engine downsizing and exhaust gas purification systems. This is increasing the demand for highly efficient engine gaskets that can withstand extreme temperature and pressure conditions.

Based on the end-user type, OE is likely to continue to be the market’s larger segment throughout the projection period. High durability and reliability of the gaskets is the major factor behind the dominance of the OE segment in the automotive specialty gaskets market.
