Use of plastic ducts replacing the use of metal & rubber ducts in automotive
The global automotive ducts market is projected to reach an estimated value of US$ 1,825.2 million in 2023. This represents an attractive growth opportunity in the entire ecosystem of the market. Organic growth in the automobile production owing to rising urbanization and increasing disposable income, increasing share of SUVs in total vehicle production, and continuous replacement of traditional rubber and metal ducts with plastic ducts are some of the major factors that are proliferating the growth of ducts in the automotive industry.
 
Hatchbacks and SUVs are likely to generate a greater demand for ducts
The automotive ducts market is segmented based on the vehicle type as Passenger Car, LCV (Light Commercial Vehicle), and M&HCV (Medium- and Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicle). Passenger car is expected to remain the growth engine of the automotive ducts market during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023. Increasing production of passenger cars, especially SUVs, coupled with a higher demand for lighter ducts would remain the major driver of the segment over the next five years. Hatchbacks and SUVs are likely to generate a greater demand for ducts in the passenger cars segment.
 
HVAC ducts segment expected to remain the most dominant application type
Based on the application type, the automotive ducts market is segmented as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) ducts, under the hood ducts, and others. The HVAC ducts segment is expected to remain the most dominant application type in the automotive ducts market during the forecast period. HVAC ducts include various large-sized ducts, such as instrument panel duct, roof ducts, console ducts, and pillar ducts.
 
Plastic ducts segment is expected to remain the most dominant material type
Based on the material type, plastic ducts segment is expected to remain the most dominant material type in the automotive ducts market during the forecast period. The segment is driven by a host of factors, such as significant weight reduction, better mechanical and chemical properties, improved temperature resistance, and good acoustic property. Foam ducts are also gaining share in the market, driven by their weight reduction and excellent acoustics.
 
low-pressure duct is expected to remain the largest segment
Based on the pressure type, low-pressure duct is expected to remain the largest segment of the automotive ducts market during the forecast period. All the major HVAC ducts, such as instrument panel ducts, console ducts, roof ducts, and pillar ducts, mainly come in low-pressure range. On the other hand, high-pressure ducts are largely used in under the hood applications.
 
Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest automotive ducts market
In terms of region, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest automotive ducts market during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023. The region is also likely to experience a healthy growth during the same period. High annual automobile production is primarily driving the demand for ducts in the region. China is expected to maintain its dominance in the Asia-Pacific’s market over the next five years. The country is also the largest global market for automotive ducts. Europe is expected to remain the second largest automotive ducts market during the same period.
