The growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the commercial internal combustion engine market in the future. A fuel-efficient vehicle is characterized by achieving 27 miles per gallon or higher in highway fuel economy. The efficiency of these vehicles relies on the speed and timing of internal combustion engines, which offer exceptional drivability and durability. The increasing preference for fuel-efficient vehicles is expected to boost the demand for commercial internal combustion engines. For example, the International Energy Agency reported that in 2021, 92% of worldwide light-duty vehicle sales were powered by fossil fuels, with electric vehicles accounting for the remaining 6.8 million sales. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles totaled about 16,000 global sales. The shift towards fuel-efficient vehicles is driving the demand for commercial internal combustion engines, particularly as electric vehicles are expected to represent around 60% of new light-duty vehicle sales by the end of the decade.

The surge in automobile production is poised to further propel the growth of the commercial internal combustion engine market. Automobile production encompasses the manufacturing process of various vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and other motor vehicles. Commercial vehicles, such as trucks, buses, and vans, heavily rely on internal combustion engines for their powertrains. The escalating demand for commercial vehicles translates directly into an increased requirement for internal combustion engines. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, global motor vehicle production reached 79.1 million units in 2021, reflecting a 1.3% increase. Additionally, the automobile industry in India produced 22.93 million vehicles, including various categories, from April 2021 to March 2022. The growing demand for automobile production is a key driver for the commercial internal combustion engine market.

Product innovation stands out as a significant trend gaining traction in the commercial internal combustion engine market. Major companies in this market are actively engaged in developing new solutions to enhance their market share. For instance, in February 2023, JCB Power Systems Ltd., a UK-based developer and manufacturer of industrial diesel engine solutions, introduced a hydrogen combustion engine. This engine is based on combustion technology, providing a cost-effective and emissions-free alternative with zero CO2 emissions at the point of use. JCB's hydrogen engine offers advantages over traditional diesel or gasoline alternatives, emitting only steam and no CO2 during usage. The introduction of innovative products such as the hydrogen combustion engine demonstrates the commitment of major players to advancing technology in the commercial internal combustion engine market.

Major players in the commercial internal combustion engine market are prioritizing product development and launches, specifically focusing on commercial diesel engines and natural gas engines, as part of their strategy to maintain a competitive edge. Commercial diesel engines and natural gas engines are designed for diverse commercial applications, spanning vehicles, industrial equipment, power generation, and more. In a notable development, Weichai Power Co., Ltd., a multinational company based in China, unveiled groundbreaking products in November 2022. Weichai Power introduced the world's first commercial diesel engine and a natural gas engine, both showcasing remarkable thermal efficiency. The commercial diesel engine achieved an impressive thermal efficiency of 52.28%, while the natural gas engine surpassed this with an even higher efficiency of 54.16%. Thermal efficiency is a critical measure of how effectively an engine converts fuel into usable energy, and these figures represent a significant advancement in fuel efficiency. Weichai Power's commitment to innovation is evident in these product launches, reinforcing its position as a key player in the commercial internal combustion engine market.
