Mechanical Reciprocating Engine Market Size

The global mechanical reciprocating engine market size was valued at USD 1.79 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 8.3% from 2024 to 2032. The growth of the industry will be accelerated through the development of medium and small scale industrial units and high level investment from the private and public sectors. For instance, the industrial production throughout China registered a year on year increase of over 5% growth in the year 2024.
 

A reciprocating mechanical engine is one which transforms the reciprocating back and forth motions of pistons enclosed in cylinders into a rotational motion to form mechanical energy. These types of engines are based on the specific principle that energy from the fuel burnt is changed into work of mechanics in a cycle of four strokes which include an intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke. As a target to a number of technologies like automotive, industrial, power generation and marine systems, reciprocating mechanical engines are a very important source for mechanical power for various applications.

Mechanical Reciprocating Engine Industry News

• In July 2023, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine and Turbocharger commenced the progress towards carbon neutrality by hydrogen combustion engine innovation. The engine turned out to be emitting zero CO2 in distributed power systems as it involved in the testing of 6-cylinder 500kW hydrogen engine mounted on a generator set. The aim of this project is to utilize the relationship that exists between safety, performance to advance a carbon-neutral future. Technical evaluation of the hydrogen engine generator set is planned for Sagamihara Plant in FY2024 making the technology revolutionary.
   
• In May 2023, Motorenfabrik Hatz decided to form a joint venture with Berylls Group which resulted into them becoming the majority stakeholder for Hatz Components. With Wernig speaking about “Tackling Industry Issues” this accord grants opportunity to Hatz to widen its developing reach. The purpose of this working together is to improve the market and quality of components required for engines.
