Heat shields are one of the
major automotive components used in automobiles. During internal combustion of
engine in automobiles, huge amount of heat is generated and heat shields are
used in engines to protect the bodywork and other components from high
temperature. In addition, heat shields provide performance benefit by reducing
the under bonnet intake temperature. The price of heat shields vary by type and
size and can be easily fitted by high temperature tapes or stainless steel
clamps. There are two major types of heat shields – rigid heat shield and
flexible heat shield. Rigid heat shields are generally made from solid steel
and aluminum. High-end rigid shields are made from aluminum sheets and other
materials that usually come with a ceramic thermal barrier coating in order to
improve the heat absorbing capacity. Flexible heat shield is made from thin
aluminum sheets, which are either sold in a roll or flat. As the name suggests,
flexible heat shields are malleable, which can be bent easily by hand to fit
into suitable parts of an automobile. High-end flexible heat shields include
ceramic insulation which is applied by plasma spraying. Such high performance
flexible heat shields are used in Formula 1 motorsport. The other type of heat
shield known as textile heat shield is used in other automotive components such
as exhaust system, DPF and turbo.
The global
automotive heat shield market can be classified by type of vehicle; namely,
passenger car, light commercial vehicle and heavy commercial vehicle. The
applications can be sub-divided into under chassis heat shield, under bonnet
heat shield, engine compartment heat shield, turbocharger heat shield and
exhaust system heat shield. Moreover, the global automotive heat shield market
has been segregated by geography under the regions, North America, Europe,
Middle East and Africa (MEA) and Latin America.
Some of the major factors
driving the growth of the automotive heat shield market are the increasing
production and usage of vehicles across the globe, and technological
advancements leading to numerous application of heat shield in various
automotive components. The factors inhibiting the growth of the market are the
rise in the prices of vehicles and emerging trend of battery driven vehicles.
In addition, the opportunities for the automotive heat shield market are the
increasing stringent government regulations for reducing the Nvh level in
automobiles and downsizing trend of engines in vehicles.
Europe is expected to hold the largest market share in the
global automotive heat shield market followed by North America, Asia Pacific,
(MEA), and Latin America. Advanced automotive heat shields are largely in
demand in North America and Europe. Although countries such as India, China, Japan,
UAE, Russia and Brazil are the major automotive heat shield market in the Asia
Pacific, MEA and Latin America region, yet the three regions are considered as
emerging markets for automotive heat shield.
