Market Dynamics

Over the past decades, the constant evolution and advancements in the internal combustion engines have made several developments in the cylinder head gaskets market to address the emergent needs. Increasing development of energy-efficient, more powerful, advanced, compact, and lightweight engines is likely to create healthy growth opportunities for cylinder head gasket manufacturers in the foreseeable future. Requirement of high temperature and pressure resistance, excellent chemical resistance, highly reliable, and durable cylinder head gaskets are likely to fuel the market growth up to an extent. However, certain constraints and limitations may stifle the market expansion. Shifting the focus to electrification is one of the key stumbling blocks, which will impact the cylinder head gasket market growth due to the absence of internal combustion engines in electric vehicles.

The automotive industry was enjoying its fruitful growth till 2017. After then the industry had witnessed sharp declines in the year 2018 and 2019 mainly due to the US-Sino trade war leading to the global economic slowdown. While the industry was expecting a healthy recovery, the pandemic has struck it hard in 2020, generating unprecedented disruption and losses for stakeholders. The market for cylinder head gaskets followed suit, declining by a staggering -15.5% in 2020. The long-term picture appears to be quite good.
