Growth Factors in the Automotive Ignition Coil Market:

  • Increasing Vehicle Production Worldwide

With record numbers of cars being sold, there will be a corresponding increase in demand for ignition coils, which are part of automotive engine management systems. Approximately 95 million light vehicles are forecast to be produced worldwide in 2024. Furthermore, government support and strong economic development in countries such as India, Mexico, and Vietnam are expected to increase automobile production in the region and thus increase the ignition coils market. The ignition coils market is expected to be driven by increasing production of vehicles by OEMs such as Volkswagen, Honda, and General Motors. New plants and suppliers have been opening recently and have written LinkedIn posts about their new ventures into the industry. The automobile industry is still growing with more and more cars being produced and with them bringing high quality ignition solutions to millions of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).

  • Advancements in Ignition Technology

Innovative ignition coil technology has resulted in more efficient ignition systems, such as the newer coil-on-plug (COP) ignition system, which is now becoming more common, due to its reduction in energy losses and its efficiency. Some companies, such as Bosch, Denso and Delphi Technologies, produce ignition coils that are designed for high temperature, high voltage and long life, and are intended to meet emissions regulations and improve engine performance. On social media channels such as LinkedIn and Instagram, companies have promoted usage of ignition coils for high-performance turbocharged engines, in sports, supercars and luxury cars. Most products in this market have been developed in urban technology centers, although aftermarket suppliers are retrofitting conventional ignition systems. These technologies have been found to be more efficient and durable, and are now used in most internal combustion engines.

  • Rising Focus on Fuel Efficiency and Emissions

Growing global emission standards are driving auto manufacturers to improve their engine ignition and fuel combustion systems, which is likely to increase the demand for high-performance ignition coils. Euro 7, BS-VI, and EPA Tier 3 are all regulations to reduce emissions and improve the fuel economy of cars around the world. Ignition coils are one of the most important components in complete combustion. This usually results in less carbon emissions and better fuel economy, as the standards are often strictly enforced in Germany, Japan, and the United States. Thus manufacturers will have to produce cleaner engines. Social media campaigns stress the positive environmental impact of optimized ignition systems and the resulting importance of ignition coils for sustainable mobility.

Key Trends in the Automotive Ignition Coil Market

  • Adoption of High-Energy Ignition Coils

An ignition coil capable of generating high spark energy is required to ensure proper combustion, especially for turbocharged and direct injection (DI) engines which have strict timing requirements for ignition. Automobile manufacturer names such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, among others have incorporated these ignition systems into their performance cars, and auto show and auto expo posts often present refinements and improvements to coil technology that improve horsepower and fuel efficiency. As demand for high performance and motorsports cars expands, high-energy ignition coils are becoming standard equipment in order to achieve maximum power and engine response on the road.

  • Expansion of Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Platforms

Although electric vehicles do not require an ignition coil, hybrid electric vehicles do use them to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the internal combustion engine. Because this market is expected to grow in size especially in Europe, Japan, and North America, compact and energy efficient ignition coils for hybrid vehicles are in demand. The OEMs are developing coils for hybrid powertrains with the emphasis on high reliability for frequent starting and downsizing. Suppliers are advertising their next-generation coils for plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles on LinkedIn and other social media. This illustrates continued innovation in ignition technology to ease the transition to hybrids and adoption of dual power systems.

  • Aftermarket Growth and DIY Vehicle Maintenance

Additionally, with globalization and an increasing number of cars on the road being repaired by hobbyists or self-taught mechanics, and with the average age of the global car parc increasing, there is a large global aftermarket for automotive ignition coils, with many vehicles currently exceeding 10 years on the road. NGK, MSD and others have developed performance coils to serve a variety of markets. Numerous videos exist on YouTube and TikTok which explain to consumers the benefits of upgrading their coils. The spread of urban repair shops and online retailers selling replacement ignition coils is improving availability. In rural areas, aftermarket ignition coils are more affordable, and urbanization is making it easier for replacement ignition coils to be sourced through the aftermarket, which gives motor vehicle owners increased control over vehicle maintenance.

The automotive ignition coil market forecast offers insights into future opportunities and challenges, drawing on historical data and predictive modeling.
