Global Automotive Heat Exchanger Market Definition

A heat exchanger is a system designed to exchange heat from one medium to another at a different temperature. The medium consists of at least two mediums that flow close to each other and are separated by a barrier that may be a material such as metal with good heat transfer properties. The system consists of fluids that are cold and hot. Based on the flow pattern, the heat exchanger is categorized into the parallel flow, cross flow, and counterflow. In automotive, the function of the heat exchanger is to remove heat from the mechanical system.

Today’s heat exchangers are mostly made from aluminum for their lightweight and have very high thermal conductivity. Some automotive heat exchanger includes radiators, oil coolers, and intercoolers. The automotive heat exchanger plays an important role in keeping the temperature of the engine and other vehicle components. Further, it is also used in cooling applications such as air conditioners. This device is utilized in the engine bay, exhaust gas, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning usage.

Global Automotive Heat Exchanger Market Overview

The Global Automotive Heat Exchanger Market is principally driven by an increase in demand for automotive components in engineering industrial and commercial applications. The growing demand for turbochargers in automated vehicles is another major driver for the Automotive Heat Exchanger Market. Exerting turbochargers in the vehicle enables improved high-altitude performance, decreased emissions, and reduced fuel consumption, among others. Besides, expanding industrial activities in developing economies is also boosting the Automotive Heat Exchanger Market.

Discrete and process industries in these regions are progressing manufacturing processes across the globe, which helps in promoting growth. Moreover, increasing adoption of the HVAC system in high-end CV and OHV is also expected to drive market growth. With more disposable income, increased purchasing power, and shifting consumer preferences, there is a greater demand for luxury and convenience features in cars. However, increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles will reduce the need for conventional engine cooling components, increasing complexity associated with the designing of advanced and lightweight heat exchangers, and growing fluctuation in the prices of raw materials are the principal factors among other expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Nevertheless, rising awareness about environmental concerns has led to the adoption of electric vehicles. Manufacturers of conventional heat exchanger systems have been compelled by the increasing popularity of electric vehicles to develop an effective battery thermal management system and expand their product line. This factor is expected to generate new opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
