The cylinder deactivation system market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The cylinder deactivation system market has grown steadily in recent years. It will increase from $3.69 billion in 2024 to $3.91 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 6.0%.
This growth is attributed to the growing demand for downsized engines, the rise of hybrid vehicles, greater adoption by automakers, the shift to pushrod design methods, and the increasing demand for fuel efficiency.
The cylinder deactivation system market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The cylinder deactivation system market is anticipated to reach $4.87 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.6%.
The growth is due to the rising adoption of cylinder deactivation, increased consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, higher vehicle ownership, production, and large engine sales. Major trends include the development of new CDS technologies, overhead camshaft design, hybrid powertrain integration, valve solenoid advancements, and the use of AI and machine learning.
The rising vehicle production is expected to drive the growth of the cylinder deactivation system market. Vehicle production is a complex process involving multiple technologies, industries, and precise coordination. The increasing demand for vehicles is driven by factors like economic growth, urbanization, globalization, infrastructure development, and cultural influences. Cylinder deactivation systems are integrated into vehicle production to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by deactivating cylinders when full power is unnecessary, without sacrificing performance. The Global Association of European Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA) reported that in May 2023, vehicle production worldwide reached 85.4 million units, marking a 3% increase over the previous year. Consequently, the rise in vehicle production is propelling the cylinder deactivation system market.
