Tappet Market Overview

Report on Global Tappet analyses the market size, shares, recent trends, competitive intelligence, and future market outlook. Tappet usage in combustion engines is on the rise. Demand from Passenger and Commercial Automotives in Asia Pacific is spiking. Competitive rivalry intensifies with Federal-Mogul, Competition Cams, Otics Corporation and others operating in the market.

Tappets are the essential component of the internal combustion engine, which converts the camshaft's rotating motion into linear motion of the valves. The tappet is the mechanical part that helps to reciprocate the part of the valve gear in beam engines to transmit intermittent motion. The tappets can be produced with the latest technologies with high productive CNC and SPM machines.

Tappet Market Trends and Dynamics

The market is driven by the rising sale of passengers and commercial vehicles due to increased disposable income and a surge in global populations. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2019, the commercial and passenger vehicle sale was registered to around 91358457 numbers of units worldwide. As the tappets are the essential component of the automobile engine requires adjusting the air-fuel mixture at the camshaft.

There is a rise in the adoption of advanced technology like laser-based processes to manufacture the engine components for automobiles and heavy vehicle displays. For instance, on 30th August 2018, Federal-Mogul Powertrain had developed laser processes for the large bore of the future piston rings that provide higher wear resistance. The techniques are eco-friendly galvanic coatings developed with new surface treatments for future engine and fuel developments in the industrial and marine sectors. 

Tappet Market Segmentation Analysis

The global tappet market is segmented based on product type, applications, and region.

In terms of product type, the global tappet market is bifurcated into flat and roller. Among these, the flat segment has the highest market share in 2019 due to the increasing demand for the vehicles to launch advanced technology for a smoother operating engine at a lower cost. For instance, in 2019, SAC Indian Company developed the tappet with an increased machining capacity of Tappet (cam followers) of around 8.40 million per annum, enhanced from 7.2 million per Annum with the latest metrology and metallurgy lab to measure all the critical parameters of the Tappets.

Similarly, the roller segment is also growing faster due to raising the global demand for the advanced technology-based fuel saver and wear-resistant cam and follower worldwide.

Depending on the vehicle type, the global tappet market is divided into passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, etc. Among these, the commercial vehicles segment had the highest share in 2019. This is primarily due to the rising sale and production of commercial vehicles, which has generated a huge demand for the tappet used in engine manufacturing. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2019, the numbers of commercial vehicles produced were more than 27016764 numbers of units.

Similarly, passenger vehicle segments are also growing faster due to the rising sale of passenger vehicles worldwide. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2019, the global passenger vehicle sales have been registered to around 64341693 numbers of units. This propels the segmental growth for the tappet market.

Depending upon the Engine size, the global tappet market is bifurcated into <4 cylinders, 4-6 cylinders, and >6 cylinders. Among these 4-6 cylinders, this is primarily due to the rising demand for heavy trucks, coaches, buses with a surge in the global population.

Similarly, <4 cylinders and >6 cylinders are also growing faster due to increasing the sale of passenger cars, two-wheelers, and three-wheelers around the globe.

Depending upon the distribution channel, the global tappet market is bifurcated into aftermarket and OEMs. Among these OEMs, the segment has the highest market share due to increasing the demand for the tappet by the original vehicle manufacturers with the growing adoption of advanced technology. For instance, on 30th October 2018, the GM Genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer of the automotive Parts and AC Delco has been expanded the product portfolios of the automotive components to meet growing customer demand.

Similarly, the aftermarket segment is also growing faster due to distributors, wholesalers shops, and the rising trend of custom vehicles worldwide.

Global Tappet Market Geographical Share

By region, the global Tappet market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East, and Africa. Among all of the regions, Asia Pacific is the dominant region for the global tappet market. It is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period due to leading manufacturing players with growing automotive sales and production, followed by the North America region. According to OICA, in 2019, there were around 44 million vehicles sold in this region, from which China remains the leading market with 28.08 million sales. This propels the tappet market's demand, which is the engine's core part of the vehicles' forecast period.

North America is also growing faster for the tappet market, owing to rising automotive sales with a surge in consumer spending. As per the OICA in 2019, around 25 million new vehicles have been registered in North America, followed by the Europe region. Similarly in the Europe region, the vehicle sale is rapidly growing due to rising consumer demand. For instance, in 2017, as per the International Transport of Clean Transportation (ICCT) report in the UK, more than 4.3 million new sport utility vehicles (SUV) have been registered. This has been propelled the demand for commercial and passenger vehicles, ultimately boost the tappet market.
