Automotive Solenoid Global Market Report 2026

Automotive solenoids are strategically positioned between the engine and ignition module of a vehicle and play a critical role in the vehicle's starting mechanism. These solenoids operate by receiving small electrical currents from the ignition system and larger electrical currents from the battery, ultimately facilitating the engine-starting process.

The main functions of automotive solenoids include fluid control, gas control, and motion control. In fluid control, solenoids regulate fluid pressure in vehicles. For instance, fluid solenoid valves are employed to control fluid pressure and alter the flow in automatic automotive transmissions, handling various fluids like oil and fuel. The protocols used in automotive solenoids include direct acting, manual reset, and pilot-operated methods. These solenoids are utilized in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, playing key roles in applications such as engine control and cooling systems, fuel and emission control, safety and security, body control and interiors, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), among others. Automotive solenoids are categorized by valve design, with types including 2-way valve, 3-way valve, 4-way valve, and 5-way valve.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the automotive solenoids market by increasing costs for imported fuel injection, transmission, brake, and motion control solenoids, as well as electrical components for engine and HVAC systems. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America are most affected due to reliance on imported high-precision components. However, tariffs are promoting local solenoid production, regional sourcing of critical parts, and development of AI- and IoT-enabled solenoids, enhancing supply chain stability and broader adoption of advanced automotive solenoid solutions.

For instance, in May 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, global electric car sales exceeded 17 million units in 2024, representing a growth of over 25%. The additional 3.5 million units sold in 2024 compared to 2023 highlight the sector's accelerating momentum. Consequently, the rising demand for eco-friendly vehicles is a significant driver of the automotive solenoid market's growth.

Major companies in the automotive solenoid market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as proportional control to improve precision, efficiency, and responsiveness in vehicle systems. Proportional control is a method that continuously adjusts a system's output in proportion to the difference between the desired setpoint and the actual value, enabling smooth and accurate operation. For instance, in March 2024, Burkert Fluid Control Systems India Private Limited, an India-based manufacturing company, introduced solenoid valves specifically designed for hydrogen fuel cells, including the Type 6440 safety shut-off valve and the Type 6020 proportional control valve. These valves are optimized for hydrogen applications, supporting the decarbonization of stationary power, automotive, and transport sectors. Key features include a 316 stainless steel body to prevent hydrogen embrittlement, reduced leak rates, and an extended operational pressure range, making them suitable for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and Alkaline Fuel Cell (AFC) systems with active or passive recirculation loops.

In a strategic move, Molecular Energies PLC, a UK-based molecular energy company, made a noteworthy acquisition in July 2023. The company acquired Dual Fuel Ltd., a US-based engineering firm specializing in converting diesel engines to run on natural gas and diesel fuel, employing a type of Flex Fuel technology. This acquisition is anticipated to enhance Molecular Energies' standing in the hydrogen mobility market, aligning with the broader goal of supporting the development of eco-friendly vehicles.
