Future Market Insights’ analysis reveals that straight or inline engine types accounted for the highest share with 4.2% CAGR between 2017 and 2021. The straight or inline engine type is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2032.
Based on vehicle type, two-wheelers dominated the market for automotive cast iron cylinder heads. Revenue through two-wheelers in the market grew at 4.1% CAGR from 2017 to 2021 and the anticipated growth rate is 5.2% from 2022 to 2032.
According to RHP, Crisil Research, and ICICI direct research, cylinder heads are used in 34% of commercial vehicles, 22% of tractors, and 40% of SUVs.
The cylinder head lies on the top of the engine block of an automobile whose primary task is to close the combustion chamber of the engine. It also serves as a coolant to the engine block, thereby preventing engine components from getting overheated.
Another key task of the automotive cylinder head is to constantly ensure the oiling of the cylinder. Without proper lubrication, the operation of the engine is difficult, therefore cylinder head makes a vital component of an engine.
Most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) prefer cylinder heads to be made out of cast iron due to its property of meeting key requirements, such as low price, good machinability, good corrosion resistance, adequate rigidity, strength, and hardness, low thermal expansion, and good casting ability.
However, manufacturers prefer aluminum cylinder head because it is lighter and possesses high thermal conductivity whereas cast iron is heavy. Most of the production gasoline engines nowadays are switching to aluminum heads.
Race cars and performance cars are generally equipped with aluminum cylinder heads, whereas cast iron is preferably used for diesel cars and daily drivers due to its high strength whereas aluminum heads need to be repaired quite often than iron heads.

Recently, reducing emission standards and minimizing environmental impacts have been key areas for manufacturers to focus on. Governments throughout the world, are largely focussing on imposing stringent standards to reduce carbon which will compel OEMs and engine manufacturers to innovate and invest in the automotive cylinder head.
Also, emerging techniques such as injection molding have made companies manufacture complex designs of cylinder head covers. This drift is likely to further shape the market for automotive cast iron cylinders.
Achates Power’s new opposed-piston engine uses new technology and is found to be cleaner and more efficient than conventional automotive cast iron cylinder heads. The key feature is that it does not use a cylinder head, instead, it utilizes the number of pistons to create compression and ignition.
It further eliminates the need for severe complexity of cylinder heads, heavyweight, and excessive heat associated with cylinder heads. Therefore, the rise in alternative materials can pose a threat to the manufacturers and also as a lucrative opportunity and aim at innovating for the growth of the automotive cast iron cylinder market.
With the surge in carbon emission globally and stringent norms to minimize the emission standards, manufacturers are switching to electric vehicles. Electric vehicles do not have a conventional engine, therefore it will not require a cast iron cylinder head to mount upon. It rather uses electric motors and gets its power from rechargeable batteries.
According to BNEF, global sales of internal combustion engine vehicles skyrocketed in 2017 and are continuously declining due to growing consumer interest in EVs. The worldwide fleet of combustion vehicles will start shrinking by 2024 and in the subsequent year demand will be dropped by roughly 19%.
BNEF further states that Germany, UK, France, and China have almost phased out the use of combustion vehicles and are close to being discontinued by 2038. United States of America, Japan, and Australia is still far from catching up while Southeast Asia and India are lagging behind the rest of the world.
The need to cut crude oil consumption is making the OEMs shift to EVs. The government of India aims to penetrate EV sales through 30% of private cars, 70% of commercial vehicles, 40% of buses, and 80% of two and three-wheelers by 2032. Such programs are likely to hamper the market for automotive cast iron cylinders.

Automotive Cast Iron Cylinder industry suffered significantly due to Covid-19. Most of the automotive parts manufacturing are cyclical in nature. Therefore with the advent of pandemic, most of the companies had sharp downturn in fortunes post pandemic.
For instance, Crafts Automation stated that due to demand and supply disruptions, slow economic activity, harsh credit scenario and increased costs as a consequence of new regulations under BS-VI worsened the overall market situation.
Post-pandemic, key players reported double-digit volume growth in trucks and the scope for the automotive cast iron cylinder head market looked positive due to an increase in infrastructural activities and significant thrust by the government on policies such as public bus procurement. For instance, more than 20,000 public buses were deputed by the Indian government to raise the share for transportation in urban areas.
The automotive cast iron cylinder in China is valued at USD 712.3 Million by 2032. Revenue through the market grew at 3.6% from 2017 to 2021. The anticipated growth rate in automotive cast iron cylinders is 4.6% from 2021 to 2032.
Several international manufacturers have set up their engine plants to manufacture cylinder heads and other automobile components in China. BMW and Mercedes manufacture engines in China due to rising vehicle production and to reduce import duties.
Chinese engine plant sources heads and blocks from BMW in Europe due to unmet demand from existing production facilities. The absolute dollar opportunity growth in the automotive cast iron cylinder head market in China is estimated at USD 259.2 Million by 2032.
Straight or inline engine types dominated the market of automotive cast iron cylinders. Revenue through the inline engine grew at 4.2% CAGR from 2017 to 2021 and is expected to garner a growth rate of 5.4% during the forecast period.
Inline engines are longer than V-type engines and are much smoother and possess less complexity in their design. Straight engines are usually built in 3, 4, 5, and 6-cylinder variations. For instance, BMW is well known for its high performance due to its inline 6-cylinder engines. Therefore, manufacturers prefer inline engine types when they are concerned about retaining efficiency and affordability. Moreover, inline engines are cheaper and bring higher efficiency rates.
Two-wheelers accounted for the highest share in the vehicle type segment for the automotive cast iron cylinder head market. It attained a growth rate of 4.1% between 2017 and 2021.
