Vehicle Starter Motor Market

Vehicle Starter Motor Market

The global vehicle starter motor market is estimated to projected growth at a CAGR of around 5% to 6% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2032. The demand for vehicle starter motors is expected to total US$ 9 Bn by the end of 2032, in comparison to the US$ 6 Bn registered in the years 2021.

Vehicle starter motors also referred to as cranking motors or self-starters are automotive components that are used to rotate an internal-combustion engine to initiate or start the operation of the engine on its own power. These cranking motors can be of various types such as pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Vehicle Starter Motor Market Growth

Before the introduction of vehicle starter motor technology, earlier automotive engines were started by using other techniques such as wind-up springs, gunpowder cylinders, and human-powered systems, to name a few. With the introduction of advanced starter technologies such as electric, flou-thru drive, and gear reduction, among others, these starters are increasingly being used to convert electrical energy stored in the battery into mechanical energy in order to start modern engines.

These cranking motors are also finding applications across newly introduced automotive vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles. This is projected to bolster the sales of vehicle starter motors in the global market.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Vehicle Starter Motor Market

Governments in several countries are implanting stringent rules and regulations for the incorporation of fuel-efficient components to curb carbon emissions. Hence, leading automotive manufacturers are undertaking numerous efforts for developing and upgrading their component technologies, including integrated starter generators. This is likely to hamper the sales of vehicle starter motors in the market over the coming years.

Why is North America Emerging as an Opportunistic Vehicle Starter Motor Market

Future Market Insights reveals that North America is expected to account for the dominant share in the global vehicle starter motors market between 2022 and 2032.

A significant rise in production and sales of automobiles, such as passenger cars, is being witnessed across North America, driven by the growing domestic incoming and rising preference towards comfort traveling, creating demand for automotive components.

For instance, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, approximately 1.92 Mn passenger cars were manufactured and around 2.56 Mn cars were reported to be sold across the U.S. in 2020. This rise in sales of automotive vehicles is anticipated to propel the demand for automotive components such as vehicle starter motors, thereby, bolstering the growth in the North America market.
