The increased demand for aluminum can be attributed to its characteristics like low weight and the capability to form into complex parts. 

How is Increasing in Investment in Head Cover Technology Propelling the Market?

The players of the market are making massive investments in the development of cylinder head covers since there has been a change in consumers’ behavior. The latest introduced automobile regulations direct to low down the Co2 emissions and higher fuel efficiency, which has motivated the players to invest in the automotive cylinder head.

Increasing usage of new manufacturing techniques like injection molding has allowed companies to produce complex designs of cylinder head covers with ease in very less time. This trend is likely to retain its position in the market, thereby, benefitting the industry.

How do the Growing Environment Concerns Impede the Market?

Increasing carbon emission is one of the key factors impeding market growth. With the imposition of several rules and regulations that curb Co2 emission, the industry is likely to face setbacks since investors are turning towards the manufacturing of EVs. And EVs do not require a cylinder head cover.

The government of several countries has taken initiatives to promote the usage of electric vehicles, which is a huge challenge to the market. For instance, India aims to switch 30% of private cars, 70% of commercial vehicles, and 80% of two and three-wheelers to EV by 2030. Such initiatives will block the expansion of the industry in the coming time.

How is India, as a fast-developing Country Contributing to Boosting the Market?
