What Is Covered Under Automotive Heat Shield Market?

The automotive heat shield is designed to absorb excessive heat by absorbing, reflecting, or dissipating the heat. A good heat shield has a high thermal resistance and high thermal emittance. The heat shield helps in protecting the parts from the heat and also deflects them away or by absorbing them. The main types of automotive heat shields are metallic and non-metallic. Metallic materials include stainless steel, aluminum, and other alloys, whereas non-metallic materials used for manufacturing automotive heat shields include nylon and ceramics among others. The various types of automotive heat shields include single shell, double shell, and sandwich and are applied to exhaust system heat shield, turbocharger heat shield, under bonnet heat shield, engine compartment heat shield, and under chassis. These heat shields are used in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles and are sold through OEM and aftermarket channels to the customers.

What Is The Automotive Heat Shield Market Growth Forecast?

The automotive heat shield market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.88 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%.

What Is The Driver Of The Automotive Heat Shield Market?

The growing electric vehicles is significantly contributing to the growth of automotive heat shield market going forward. An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that is propelled by one or more electric motors or traction motors. The growth of the electric vehicle market is driving the need for specialized heat shields for battery thermal management systems, in which the batteries and other components of electric vehicles produce heat, which must be regulated and dispersed by means of heat shields. For instance, in March 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, around 14 million electric cars were registered globally in 2023, marking a 35% increase over the 10.5 million registered in 2022. Electric vehicles (EVs) made up 18% of total car sales in 2023, up from 14% in 2022. This growth demonstrates strong momentum in the EV market, with weekly registrations in 2023 exceeding 250,000. Battery electric vehicles accounted for 70% of the total electric car stock in 2023. Therefore, growing electric vehicles will drive the automotive heat shield industry.
