The automotive pumps industry is witnessing several key trends, driven by technological advancements and changing vehicle structures. One significant trend is the increasing usage of electrified pumps, moving away from traditional mechanical pumps. According to the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA), the market for electric pumps in automotive applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2021 and 2026. This shift is partly due to the rising adoption of start-stop systems and hybrid powertrains, which require pumps that can operate independently of engine speed.
Furthermore, the development of smart, variable-flow pumps that can adjust their output based on real-time demand, improving overall vehicle efficiency. The Japan Auto Parts Industries Association reports that variable oil pumps can reduce fuel consumption by up to 3% compared to conventional fixed-displacement pumps.
Additionally, there's a growing focus on lightweight pump designs to support vehicle weight reduction efforts. The Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) reports that the use of advanced materials like reinforced plastics and aluminium alloys in pump manufacturing has increased by 15% over the past three years, thereby suitable for weight reduction and improved fuel efficiency hence propelling the market growth.
