Spark Plug Global Market Report 2025

Description

A spark plug is a critical component that transfers electric current from the ignition system to the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. It generates a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture, initiating the combustion process essential for starting and maintaining efficient engine operation.

The main types of spark plugs include hot spark plugs and cold spark plugs. Hot spark plugs have a higher heat range, designed to dissipate heat slowly and maintain a higher operating temperature. Materials used for spark plugs range from copper to iridium, platinum, and others. Spark plugs find applications across automotive, marine, aerospace, and other industries, and are distributed through channels such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.

The spark plug market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides spark plug market statistics, including the spark plug industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a spark plug market share, detailed spark plug market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the spark plug industry. This spark plug market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The spark plug market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.17 billion in 2024 to $4.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing vehicle production globally, growing demand for high-performance engines, advancements in engine technology to improve efficiency, rising adoption of gasoline direct injection engines, and increasing automotive production.

The spark plug market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the shift towards electric vehicles reducing traditional spark plug demand, increasing adoption of turbocharged engines, increasing interest and growth of the electric vehicles, growth in the automotive aftermarket, and expansion of automotive production in emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include improved durability and performance, development of spark plugs for hybrid and electric vehicles, adoption of multi-electrode spark plugs for enhanced combustion, growth in demand for iridium and platinum spark plugs, and technological advancements.

The spark plug market is poised for growth driven by increasing automotive production worldwide. This growth is spurred by rising global demand for vehicles, fueled by economic expansion, urbanization, and higher consumer purchasing power. Spark plugs play a crucial role in automotive production by igniting the air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber of gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, essential for their operation. For example, Statistics Canada reported in June 2024 that Canada saw a slight 0.3% increase in registered road motor vehicles in 2022, totaling 26.3 million vehicles, highlighting the steady rise in automotive production and thereby boosting demand for spark plugs.

Leading companies in the spark plug market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as durable spark plugs, to improve durability and performance. A durable spark plug is designed to endure prolonged use and harsh conditions without significant degradation in performance or lifespan, ensuring reliable ignition and operational efficiency over an extended period. For example, in August 2022, Tenneco, a U.S.-based emission control system company, introduced a new range of Champion industrial ignition spark plugs, C-4001. These spark plugs are specifically engineered for enhanced performance and durability in industrial applications, particularly in stationary biogas and natural gas systems, as well as commercial trucks, buses, and construction machinery.

In August 2022, Steelbird, a prominent automotive filter manufacturer in India, collaborated with Hella to launch a new line of spark plugs and horns targeting the two-wheeler segment in India. This partnership combines Steelbird's extensive marketing and distribution network in India with Hella's expertise in premium spark plugs and horns, expanding beyond filters and rubber parts to strengthen its presence in the automotive components sector. Hella Inc., based in Germany, is renowned for its high-quality spark plugs and other automotive components.
