Middle East and Africa Automotive Piston Market Key Players and Opportunities by 2028

The automotive piston market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 51.24 million in 2021 to US$ 60.19 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% from 2021 to 2028.

South Africa is the major economy in the region w.r.t the market in MEA. Technological innovations in ICEs such as intelligent combustion management systems as well as improvements in fuel efficiency to achieve power advantages and lower emission levels are emerging as new trends supporting the growth of the MEA automotive piston market. In 2019, Mazda Motor Corporation introduced its SkyActiv-X unit gasoline engine that merges gasoline and diesel technologies to harness the benefits of homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI), wherein the engine’s air–fuel mixture is ignited by the piston’s compression stroke. The fuel-efficient gasoline engines capitalize on the piston’s full range of motion, allowing it to operate on a leaner fuel ratio than conventional petrol engines. These efforts would also help the automotive piston market players to expand their product portfolio and business presence. Another emerging trend in the automotive piston market is hydrogen-fueled combustion engine technology. The hydrogen-fueled piston engines do not emit CO2 and allow users to achieve zero-emission targets. It also offers advantages over expensive battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell solutions.

The automotive piston market in Middle East and Africa has witnessed a decline due to disruption in the supply chain, various containment measure initiated by the government, such as travel restrictions, factory shutdown, and lockdowns, the supply, and distribution of electronics and mechanical automotive component. Impact on raw material supply and revenue stream has severely reduced the demand for automotive vehicle and therefore, demand for automotive piston has also declined. South Africa accounts for a major share in MEA’s automotive sector. Closure of production factories have had an enormous impact on South Africa automotive sector as the country heavily relies on imports. The MEA region is focusing on local production as a measure to meet local market demands and avoid uncertainties. In the view of the pandemic, several automotive piston market players in the MENA region are introducing innovative green and environment friendly technologies to recover sales.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the automotive piston market. The MEA automotive piston market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
