The increasing adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive valves market in the future. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combines an internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system. Automotive valves utilized in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) are also employed in HEVs, including HVAC valves, solenoid valves, brake combination valves, and tire valves. These automotive valves are essential for the smooth operation of HEVs. For instance, in January 2024, a report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicated that in 2023, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and BEVs made up 16.3% of total new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales, an increase from 12.9% in 2022. The share of these vehicles peaked at 17.9% of total LDV sales in the latter half of 2023. Thus, the growing adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is driving the expansion of the automotive valves market.

The increase in automobile production is expected to further stimulate the growth of the automotive valves market. Higher production levels in the automotive sector often indicate industry expansion, which leads to a greater demand for components like automotive valves that are vital for the proper functioning of vehicles. For example, in December 2023, motor vehicle production in the United States was reported at 10,611,555 units, representing a significant rise from 10,052,958 units in December 2022. The production figures for 2023 suggest a positive trend toward pre-pandemic output levels. Furthermore, according to Invest India, an India-based national investment promotion and facilitation agency, the automobile industry in India produced a total of 22.93 million vehicles - including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles - from April 2021 to March 2022. Consequently, the increased automobile production is positively influencing the growth of the automotive valves market during the forecast period.

Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the automotive valve market. Key players in the automotive valves sector are concentrating on product innovations to maintain their competitive edge. For instance, in June 2024, TLX Technologies, a US-based machinery manufacturer, launched a new range of modular valve products specifically tailored for electric vehicle (EV) thermal management systems. These modular valves are designed to enhance the efficiency of EV cooling systems by providing precise control of coolant flow, which contributes to improved battery performance and overall vehicle safety. The introduction of these modular solutions optimizes thermal management in electric vehicles, boosts energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of critical components like batteries and electric motors. This innovation underscores TLX's commitment to supporting the expanding EV market with advanced, customizable thermal management solutions.

Leading companies in the automotive valves market are focusing on developing technologically advanced products, such as EGR valves, to secure a competitive advantage. The new EGR valves are engineered to minimize emissions for various engine types, thereby promoting cleaner and more energy-efficient mobility. For example, in February 2022, BorgWarner, a US-based provider of innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the vehicle market, broadened its product lineup by introducing over 80 new EGR valves. These additions are part of BorgWarner's ongoing effort to address the strong market demand for cleaner and more energy-efficient mobility solutions. They meet the company's stringent OE quality standards and are available to aftermarket customers worldwide. The 80 new EGR part numbers account for 50% of the vehicles in the EU.

In August 2022, Gentherm, a global leader in thermal management technologies, finalized its acquisition of Alfmeier Präzision SE's automotive business. This acquisition is anticipated to enhance Gentherm's capabilities in providing advanced seating solutions and thermal comfort systems, particularly by integrating Alfmeier’s expertise in lumbar and massage systems, fluid pumps, and valve systems. This move aligns with Gentherm's strategy to diversify its product offerings and strengthen its position within the automotive sector.
