Market Research Reports - Ken Research Global Automotive Rubber Hoses Industry Analysis

Evolution in Lightweight and Durable Automotive Rubber Hoses to Drive Global Market in
Future: Ken Research
Transportation of fluids such as coolant, fuel and lubricants within an automobile is an integral
process that is carried out by flexible conduits which are known as automotive rubber hoses.
On an average, automobiles use a variety of hoses and pipes within the engine. Every hose and
pipe is a crucial component that ensures proper functioning of the engine component. Any
defective hose may cause engine overheating, coolant loss, fuel supply disruption, and lead to
increase in vehicle downtime. Automotive hoses are used for transferring volatile and high
temperature liquids and gases, from the engine after combustion to the exhaust system.
Almost all the automotive rubber hoses manufactured and used globally are made up of rubber
or any of its variants. Along with transmission of various fluids, automotive rubber hoses
effectively convey pressure from one actuation point to another in a hydraulic circuit and
function as a medium to create vacuum wherever necessary within an automobile. Automotive
rubber hoses are designed in view of various parameters such as application, working
conditions, pressure ratings, compatibility with varying chemicals and fluids. HVAC, braking and
steering systems need the use of automotive hoses to ensure smooth functioning of a vehicle.
The demand for better performance and efficiency in automobiles without compromising on
fuel consumption globally has led to the inclusion of turbochargers in the power unit system of
a vehicle which is driving the growth of long lasting and extra durable automotive rubber hoses.
According to the study “Global Automotive Rubber Hoses Industry Situation and Prospects
Research report”, automotive hoses are made of synthetic materials such as heavy duty plastics
and the composites are costlier than hoses made of rubber, encouraging the consumers to opt
for alternatives such as automotive rubber hoses. The stringent emission norms and regulations
implemented by various governments across the globes every year is also a major factor
encouraging the manufacturers to build durable rubber hoses. Global automotive rubber hoses
market is segmented based on vehicle type such as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles,
heavy commercial vehicles, special purpose vehicles and two wheelers. Automotive rubber
hoses are used as turbocharger hoses, engine heating, cooling and radiator hoses, air
conditioning hoses, lubrication hoses, transmission hoses, brake hoses and fuel hoses. Various
types of automotive rubber hoses are non-reinforced rubber hoses and metal-reinforced
rubber hoses
Geographically, automotive rubber hoses market is spread across North America (U.S., Canada),
Latin America (Mexico, Brazil and Rest of Latin America), Western Europe (Germany, Italy,
France, U.K, Spain, Nordic countries, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Rest of Western
Europe), Eastern Europe (Poland, Russia and Rest of Eastern Europe), Asia Pacific (China, India,
