Automotive Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Start-Stop System Global Market Report 2024

Variable valve timing (VVT) and start-stop systems are integral processes that involve adjusting the timing of valve lift events in automotive engines. VVT optimizes engine performance and fuel efficiency by minimizing valve opening duration during idle or light acceleration, consequently reducing the intake of air-fuel mixture and lowering emissions. These systems are widely utilized in conjunction with variable valve lift systems to enhance overall automotive functionality.

The primary categories of automotive VVT and start-stop systems encompass diesel VVT and gasoline VVT systems. Diesel VVT systems focus on altering valve lift timing to enhance efficiency and mitigate emissions, making them applicable across various vehicle types, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. Technological variations within these systems include cam-phasing and cam-phasing plus changing, while valvetrains are characterized by single overhead cam (SOHC) and dual overhead cam (DOHC) configurations.

Noteworthy trends expected during this period encompass the synergy in electrification efforts, the adoption of dual variable valve timing (VVT) systems, the implementation of cylinder deactivation, the integration of intelligent start-stop mechanisms, and the utilization of lightweight and high-performance materials.

The automotive variable valve timing (VVT) and start-stop system markets are anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. These vehicles, characterized by better mileage per gallon of fuel compared to less efficient models, are achieving enhanced performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions through technologies such as valve-timing. In February 2021, according to KAPSARC, electric vehicle (EV) adoption, including hybrids and pure battery electric vehicles, is a crucial factor in improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions in the transportation sector. Electric car sales reached a record 3 million in 2020, marking a 40% increase from the previous year. Projections from the Net Zero Emissions scenario by the United Nations estimate that by 2030, 300 million electric vehicles will be on the road, constituting over 60% of all new automobile sales. This surge in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is a key driver for the growth of the automotive variable valve timing (VVT) and start-stop system market.

The automotive variable valve timing (VVT) and start-stop system market are expected to witness growth driven by the rising prices of gasoline.
