Increased Vehicle Production Drives the Automotive Chain Tensioner Market

Globally, the production of vehicles is expected to have a continuous growth with emerging markets like China, India, and Southeast Asia at the forefront of this trend. The demand for new vehicles has pushed manufacturers to enhance engine technologies and improve performance, with automotive chain tensioners as one of the important upgrades. The need for high-performing chain tensioners is ever-growing as automotive manufacturers continue to innovate in engine technologies. For example, in 2024, Toyota stepped up production of its hybrid models, incorporating advanced chain tensioners for better fuel efficiency and engine longevity, a trend that is anticipated in other automakers. According to the data published by OICA, Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles productively, worldwide production of vehicles stood at 84.83 million units in 2022 and rose to 93.54 million units in 2023. Therefore, increasing vehicle production is drives the automotive chain tensioner market.

Latest Trends in the Automotive Chain Tensioner Market

Rise in Electric Vehicle Adoption

Electric Vehicles are gaining momentum in the automotive industry, hence this transition to efficient and environmental solutions. While electric vehicles make use of electric motors instead of conventional internal combustion engines, hybrids still utilize components such as timing chains from old technology. Therefore, automotive chain tensioners form a vital component for the hybrids to ensure efficient operation of the engine. Additionally, with the growing demand for EVs, lighter, efficient chain tensioners for hybrid powertrains will ensure that trustworthy engine performance is under development. For instance, the sales of electric cars continue to grow and could reach around 17 million in 2024, accounting for more than one in five cars sold worldwide, according to the Global EV Outlook 2024 by IEA, International Energy Agency, compared against 14 million units during 2023.

Integration with Engine Management Systems

THE growing complexity is more integration between engine management systems (EMS) and automotive chain tensioners. The control feature of an EMS, with respect to various engine components such as the timing chain, allowed the management of the tensioning through optimal expected tension and throughout the life of the vehicle. Such a system improves the performance of chain tensioners, fuel economy, and reduces maintenance requirements. For example, Mercedes-Benz equipped their new line of vehicles with excellent engine control features coupled with hydraulic chain tensioners, thus optimizing performance and bringing down fuel consumption. This is going to continue as automakers focus on further sophisticated, intelligent, and efficient engines that are reliable and take less fuel.

Regulatory Push for Fuel Efficiency Driving the Growth of the Automotive Chain Tensioner Market

Tightening of worldwide emission laws on vehicles has forced governments to improve fuel efficiency while automakers struggle to adopt new technologies that help improve engine performance and couplings with reduced fuel consumption. Timing chains must be kept in proper tension through chain tensioners, particularly hydraulic or spring-loaded, to achieve better fuel economy and lower emissions. For example, the emission standards forced into law by the European Union have forced manufacturers like BMW and Volkswagen to improve the components of their upcoming engine models, including chain tensioners, to meet the required regulations.
