The global tappet market is envisioned to garner $11,318.0 million by 2031, growing from $8,400.0 million in 2021 at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2022 to 2031.
A tappet controls the movement of the engine valves by limiting the gap between the camshaft and the valves, which aids in the internal combustion process. Growing technological development, increasing vehicle sales, and a growing number of consumers interested in improved vehicle efficiency, among other factors, are driving the growth of the automotive tappet market. The use of advanced technology in the automotive industry has increased the demand for tappet in vehicles. Various types of tappets have been developed to improve vehicle efficiency, such as roller tappets, which increase the overall output power of the vehicles. The growing production of passenger and commercial vehicles is expected to drive future tappet market growth.
One of the major factors impeding the growth of the automotive roller tappets market is the rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles. Electric vehicles have the potential to reduce air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and other hazardous gas emissions significantly. These electric vehicles do not require valve and tappet assembly to improve engine performance.
High recital vehicles or racing car engines necessitate high RPM, a standard mechanical camshaft that inadvertently affects the engine's output capacity. As a result, camshaft manufacturers are adopting new methods and technologies to assist in converting the traditional mechanical movements of the camshaft to dynamic cam rotations as required by the engine. As a result, automakers are favoring the Hydraulic Flat Tapper Camshaft (HFTC), a camshaft used in high-performance vehicles. Furthermore, the HFTC provides 6,500 rpm, which contributes to the engine's high efficiency when compared to conventional camshafts. This factor has led to a greater preference for HFTC over conventional camshafts.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought several uncertainties leading to severe economic losses as various businesses across the world were at a standstill. There were import-export restrictions laid down on major automotive manufacturing countries such as the U.S. and China, which imposed significant challenges on the market. During the lockdown, automotive tappet manufacturing facilities worldwide were closed down, consumer demand fell sharply, vehicle sales ceased, and all major industry events were canceled or had to be digitized to maintain communications. Various automakers are stepping up their efforts to combat SARS-CoV-2 and are devising new ways to assist people affected by the pandemic. In addition, many of the production sites have been given the go-ahead to resume operations, despite the COVID-19 impact. For example, on 4 May 2020, Rolls-Royce resumed production at its Goodwood factory, making it the first vehicle manufacturer in Britain to do so following the novel coronavirus lockdown.
