The automotive piston market was valued at US$ 3879.92 million in 2021 and it is projected to reach US$ 5,815.15 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2021 to 2028.
Rise in the manufacturing of the internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is boosting the demand for automotive pistons to achieve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance flexibility and reliability. The increasing sales of ICE vehicles in APAC and the MEA is encouraging manufacturers to produce better and environment-friendly vehicle components, such as pistons and lubricants. The demand for automotive pistons is increasing significantly owing to the rising automotive vehicle manufacturing and production activities across the world. Pistons made of steel have the capability to withstand high temperatures, thereby improving the efficiency of engine. Steel pistons reduce fuel consumption and CO2 exhaust and emissions. They are lightweight and have a lower compression height. Aluminum is the most-commonly used material for making automotive pistons owing to its features, such as lightweight, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and casting characteristics.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Automotive Piston Market
The sudden COVID-19 outbreak pandemic has shaken the automotive sector in every region owing to the combination of factors such as factory shutdowns, travel bans, and limited consumer spending power, which created disaster for the newer vehicle market. The pandemic has hampered the production in the global automotive sector. The restricted supply chain has also created a massive gap between supply and demand for the automotive pistons. Inadequate raw material supply has disrupted economies and weakened production, leading to a collapse in demand. However, developments and technological upgrades are anticipated to boost the demand for vehicles with efficient fuel consumption technologies, thereby propelling the adoption of automotive pistons. The component manufacturers observed significant tremors in 2020, which showcased decline in automotive component manufacturing and subsequently the industry size. On the other hand, due to business lockdowns, travel bans, and supply chain disruptions, the manufactures of the automotive piston market are impacted negatively.

Market Insights– Automotive Piston Market
Massive Production of ICE Vehicles
Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles such as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) account for a major share of the total vehicles usage in developing countries such as China, India, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa, which has led to increase in the manufacturing of various models of these vehicles. This has, subsequently, augmented the demand for small-bore pistons, large-bore pistons, bearings, and castings that contribute to weight reduction, emission reduction, and improved performance, among other advantages. Demand for advanced and high-tech features, and technological innovations as well as concerns regarding environmental safety are compelling OEMs to focus on the production and adoption of highly accurate and high-performance piston designs, thereby promoting the development of long-lasting pistons that can withstand stress, and wear and tear caused by engine operations. Mechanical simplicity, flexibility and reliability, and multi-fuel capabilities are among the other features driving the adoption of automotive pistons. Further, the rising demand for gasoline-powered vehicles is contributing to the automotive piston market during the forecast period.
Piston Type-Based Insights
Based on piston type, the automotive piston market is segmented into compact flat-top piston, dish piston, and dome piston. The compact flat-top piston segment held the largest market share in 2020.
