According to Future Market Insights, the market for automotive cowl panels is expected to reach a valuation of US$ 399 million in 2023 with a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. According to estimates, the market will reach US$ 785 million in 2033. Due to the expansion of xEVs (BEVs, HEVs, PHEVs, FCEVs) and smartification, vehicles have become heavier because of batteries, motors, and electric components. Developing lightweight automotive parts should be considered to be one of the most significant aspects of automobile parts development in the market.
Going green has become an integral part of the auto industry's strategy. The development of eco-friendly materials and reducing CO2 have become the top priorities. The market for natural cowl panels is undergoing a slowdown as the demand for them increases. Customers in developing countries are becoming more meticulous and the market is becoming more competitive in the modern automobile scene. Customers who purchase budget vehicles now expect their vehicles to perform well in specific use cases, using specific types of technology that only recently became available and that they had not previously considered. Therefore, automobile engineers are challenged to go the extra mile when designing parts that are cost-effective but tangible to customers in order to enhance perceived quality. One example of an exterior component is the cowl cover of a vehicle.
The cowl panel is expected to provide structural support and reduce wind noise as well as improve the car's aerodynamics. Furthermore, it assists in keeping rainwater and dirt off the windshield and other exposed parts of the car. With the constant evolution of the automotive industry comes new opportunities for cowl panels. More advanced materials and technology can improve the aesthetics and aerodynamics of cowl panels, making them lighter and more aerodynamic. Further improving vehicle safety can be achieved by integrating active and passive safety systems into cowl panels.
Vehicle design and performance will continue to be enhanced by cowl panels as the automotive industry explores new technologies. To reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency, automotive cowl panels now feature aerodynamic shapes that assist in reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency. With the development of 3D printing technology in recent years, cowl panels for automobiles are being designed and manufactured more accurately to reduce costs and improve quality. To improve aerodynamics and reduce air leakage, automotive cowl panels now feature improved sealing technology. For the purpose of reducing damage and improving the longevity of automotive cowl panels, self-healing materials are now using a method to eliminate the need for resurfacing. Sensors are now being integrated into automotive cowl panels to provide real-time performance information.
A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of open cowl cavities in generating wind noise as well as numerical modeling. A Volvo XC60 was tested with and without side mirrors and with and without the cowl cavity open and closed to measure exterior intensity sound. Measurements were conducted in all configurations. Several studies have shown that the cowl cavity contributes to overall noise levels inside the compartment as a source of wind noise. A significant improvement can be made in terms of the Articulation Index by around 2%. Several configurations of interest were numerically modeled to understand their behavior. Flows around the car have been illustrated and shown to have significant similarities to experiments in terms of illustrating the mechanism. Future development should include an illustration of the vortex core and the pressure RMS.
Ford F-150 Cowl Panel, part number 924-533, is the latest automotive cowl panel to be released by Dorman Automotive. With the help of all the necessary hardware for installation, the cowl panel boasts a durable steel construction and a black finish. Ford F-150s from 2009 to 2014 is designed to use this product as a replacement for the original part. Cowl panels like this are not compatible with other vehicles.
