Growing demand for fuel efficiency continues to remain a key reason contributing towards growth of the global specialty fuel additives market positively. However, imposition of government regulations is predicted to inhibit demand for the specialty fuel additives significantly. A recently compiled report by Fact.MR reveals that the global market of energy drinks is predicted to register a CAGR of 4.9% throughout 2022.

Hybrid electric vehicles are eco-friendly, include reduced emissions and reduced fuel consumption as compared to gasoline engine vehicles, hence the hybrid electric vehicles are gaining popularity across the globe. With several stringent emission policies by various countries, hybrid electric car manufacturers are focusing on developing new hybrid electric car batteries that can be recharged quickly. Data acquisition system and remote monitoring system are being implemented in the hybrid electric vehicles to locate nearby charging stations, help in navigation, etc.

Surge in demand for vehicles with eco-friendly features in the transportation industry has led to an upsurge in demand for battery electric vehicle globally. Increasing demand for relatively low maintenance cost of vehicles is projected to impact growth of the global battery electric vehicle market significantly in the upcoming years. A recently compiled report by Fact.MR reveals that the global market of battery electric vehicle is projected to reflect an impressive CAGR of 13.6% through 2022.

Increasing number of car accidents across the globe has made it vital for vehicles to earn top safety ratings during the crash test program. Hence, airbags in the vehicle form an important part of the safety features in the car. Most of the new cars are deploying airbags to protect occupants in frontal, rear and offset crashes with the help of airbags. However, knee airbag is considered to be one of the important safety features as they protect lower limbs. Governments and automotive governing councils across various nations have set safety standards and also provide vehicle safety ratings based on the in-vehicle safety systems.

Growing demand for security devices in vehicles has led to an upsurge in demand for the airbags in the automotive industry globally. In addition, government in various countries have imposed regulations regarding security devices in the automotive industry. These factors are expected to contribute towards growth of the global automotive curtain airbag market positively. A recently compiled report by Fact.MR reveals that the global market of automotive curtain airbag is projected to register a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period, 2017-2022.

Biometric driver identification system is very new technology in vehicle safety. Enhancing vehicle security, biometric driver identification system identifies individual from a set of features. Automotive manufacturers are integrating biometric driver identification system in vehicles to offer multi-level security. The biometric identification system is also being integrated into connected cars. Biometric system is also becoming popular among ride-sharing services, where it can help to identify various drivers sharing the car, same goes for the fleets. Manufacturers are also focusing on providing innovative features such as setting maps, music, and call history based on the preference of driver, as soon as the driver is identified. Manufacturers are also including advanced biometric system technology where it can monitor eye movement of the driver and can also alert them in case of distraction and drowsiness. Biometric driver identification system is also being developed including 3D facial recognition and multi-factor authentication.

Automotive oil filters help to remove contaminants from the oil. Oil filter in an internal combustion engine in vehicle helps to eliminate wear particles, transfers heat to cool the engine, and lubricates internal parts. With the increase in a number of vehicles manufactured, the demand for the automotive oil filter is also rising. Hence, manufacturers are working on improving the filter design and technology to ensure it works with increased engine power. Manufacturers of automotive oil engine are also focusing on developing filters, eliminating the need to change the oil filter for a long time. Automakers are also moving towards constructing replaceable element filter, leading to minimizing waste with each filter change. Better filter efficiency is also one of the vital focus areas for manufacturers. They are offering improving filter efficiency to hold or capture even the smallest particles, ensuring better engine performance.

Increasing demand for performance efficiency is projected to fuel adoption of fuel filter in the automotive industry. Moreover, growing need to replace the clogged fuel filters is projected to impact the global market growth of fuel filter significantly. Fact.MR projects the global automotive fuel filter market to reflect a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period, 2017-2022.

The automotive rear spoiler is designed to disrupt the air movement by creating the vertical force that acts on the tire by causing traction on the road. The spoiler is a wing-like design attached to the car to create unfavorable air movement across the body of the car when it is in motion. The spoiler is made using lightweight materials such as fiberglass, ABS plastic, carbon, and silicon. However, manufacturers are also searching for new materials that are cost-effective.

Automotive actuators continues to witness lucrative opportunities across countries on the backdrop of increasing vehicle parc worldwide. Moreover, growing dependency of control systems on actuators is affecting the environment, which is driving their adoption. For actuators, the key purpose for their application is using the power provided to them and converting it to mechanical energy for controlling the motion of fluids and gases. Diversity in the operations of control systems allow actuators to source their power from electric current, hydraulic pressure or pneumatic force. Energy sourced from these options gets converted into motion when the actuator receives a signal. Control systems used in several industrial operations are largely dependent on the efficiency of the actuation technologies.
