The COVID 19 Pandemic enforced an unprecedented instability in the automobile market. With international lockdowns stopping production and trade restrictions leading to breakdowns of the automobile logistics, led to drastic effects in the Automotive Ducts Market. The situation saw the Automotive Ducts Market plummet by 16.7% in the financial year 2019-2020, recording the worst downfall in the sector. Most major countries are squandering money to raise their vaccination rate to bring normalcy. The developed economies are well ahead in the race and aim to vaccinate their people by late 2021 fully. In contrast, the developing nations, especially densely populated ones like China and India, are planning to vaccinate their people by late 2022 fully.

 

The demand for ducts in the automotive industry in the coming years is principally reliant on the recovery trajectory of automobile production, which, in turn, depends on the normalcy in the market conditions, especially devastated by the pandemic.

 

Several factors may increase the demand for automotive ducts in the coming years. Among several factors, expected recovery in vehicle production supported by an increase in disposable income, increase in motorization rate, etc., shall remain the most significant growth factors. Other drivers are the increasing penetration of SUVs in the all over vehicle production & stringent regulations regarding carbon emission reductions & fuel efficiency enhancements in major markets. Automakers increasingly incorporate advanced lightweight parts or systems to address strict government regulations. Such a trend also significantly impacts ducts as automakers are demanding lightweight yet durable ducts. Both reinforced and non-reinforced plastics are the perennial choices of tier players in developing lightweight automotive ducts.

 

With the world now reopening, the automobile sector is predicted to recover thereby leading to growth of the Automotive Ducts Market.

Automotive Ducts Market Dynamics:

The recovery of the automobile market is the prime driver of the Automotive Ducts Market. With promising growth in the market, coupled by the disposable income possessed by populations worldwide, the markets are expected to make a quick recovery. This is further boosted by the fact that there is an overall increase in tourism and taxi services leading increased motorization. This directly correlates with the number of air ducts employed in vehicles and therefore helps the Automotive Ducts Market.

 

Change in the market caused by new legislature:

 

With countries enforcing stringent environment-friendly standards, automobile manufacturers now require air ducts made from specific material and dimensions to meet the emission standards. In order to provide the same, while providing parts that are structurally sound and lightweight, there has been rapid research and development in the Automotive Ducts Market. 

 

Increased market share of SUVs and MUVs:

 

Vehicle types employing larger air conditioning systems with multiple vents and distributed air-cooling systems lead to the growth of the Automotive Ducts Market. With disposable capitals, the consumer preference for these vehicles provides a boost to the Automotive Ducts Market.

 

Automotive Ducts Market Segment Analysis:

By Vehicle Type, Automotive Ducts Market is segmented into Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCVs). Passenger cars segment held the largest market share of xx% in 2023. With increase in the number of passenger vehicles because of gathered disposable incomes and more number of taxi and ride-sharing services, the sub-segment is predicted at a promising recovery-rate. Other segments by type are expected to have modest recovery. Increasing motorization rate & reasonably higher production of passenger cars than commercial vehicles are the key factors behind its dominance. LCV, another significant segment, is also subjected to record a modest recovery in the post-pandemic market developments.

 

 

By Application Types, The Automotive Ducts Market is segmented into HVAC Ducts and Under-the-hood ducts. HVAC ducts segment held the largest market share in 2023. HVAC ducts will likely remain the most dominant application type and will register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In contrast, under-the-hood ducts are likely to remain the second-largest application type over the same period. HVAC ducts are primarily made with plastics (polypropylene or polyethylene plastics). Instrumental panel duct is considered the biggest application of ducts in an automobile, which is located in the HVAC area. Other major HVAC ducts generating a noticeable demand are roof ducts, console ducts, and pillar ducts.

 

By Duct Air Pressure, The ducts can be categorised into low-pressure-ducts and high-pressure-ducts. Low pressure ducts are used in HVAC applications, instrument panels, brake ducts etc. High pressure ducts are used in engines, transmissions and other under-the-hood applications.

 

Automotive Ducts Market Regional Outlook:

Asia Pacific Market held the largest market share of xx% in 2023. Asia Pacific region is expected to continue to be the market leader in the Automotive Ducts Market. This is because of the large populations of countries such as China and India along with wide geographical areas requiring the use of private vehicles that in-turn drive the Automotive Ducts Market.
