Automotive Engine Mount Market Worldwide Industry Analysis and New Business Opportunities Explored

An engine mount is a part in a vehicle that holds the engine in its place. The engine is a vibrating component of the vehicle, since it contains many moving parts. Apart from holding the engine in its place, the engine mount also performs the vital function of damping the vibrations of the engines. Some engine mounts contain a fluid to further dampen the engine vibrations. Thus, a liquid-filled engine mount acts as a shock absorber. Furthermore, the vehicle is equipped with vacuum-controlled engine mounts in cases where the dampening of the engine vibrations needs to be controlled. In some vehicles, especially in case of sports cars, it is necessary that the engine vibrations do not transfer to the vehicle body.

Increasing production volumes of both passenger vehicles as well as commercial vehicles is estimated to drive the automotive engine mount market during the forecast period. Rapid improvements being carried out by vehicle manufacturers in order to develop materials that provide a better damping effect is further expected to boost the automotive engine mount market in the next few years. Increasing consumer awareness regarding improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles, by reducing vehicle emissions, is anticipated to further fuel the automotive engine mount market during the forecast period.

Increasing investments being made by key manufacturers of sports vehicles in order to provide technologically advanced engine mounts that can offer maximum vibration damping, which is extremely essential in case of high performance vehicles such as sports vehicles, is anticipated to further propel the automotive engine mount market in the near future. For example, Continental AG, a leading manufacturer of engine mounts, has recently started the production of electronically switchable engine mounts, primarily for sports vehicles. These electronically switchable engine mounts adjust the required rigidity to individual requirements by means of an electromechanical shift actuator and provides a perfect balance between excellent sportiness and maximum comfort. Few manufacturers are utilizing smart materials such as magnetorheological elastomers in engine mounts. Engine mounts made from magnetorheological elastomers lack the fluid used for vibration damping and are thus reliable and easier for mass production of automotive components.
