Global Spark Plugs Market: Overview
A spark plug generates an electric current from the ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine by electric spark; it creates suitable combustion pressure within the engine to ignite the compressed fuel. Spark plug consists of a metal threaded shell, which is electrically isolated from a central electrode with the help of porcelain insulator. During the engine operation, high tension current flows through the center electrodes and it ionizes the gas present between electrode gaps thus producing a spark. Spark plug generates powerful ignition spark around 500-3500 times per minute. The temperature of the spark plug at the tip is usually between 500°C and 800°C.
Global Spark Plugs Market: Growth Factors
The production and sale of the gasoline-powered vehicles have risen globally coupled with an increase in the number of small & recreational boats, petrol-based generators, and jet skis thus anticipating to fuel the spark plugs market. Technological advancements in the electrode material and rise in demand for natural gas-powered vehicles is expected to foster the market growth. Stringent government guidelines against emissions & fuel efficiency and developing automotive industries are the key factors that are driving the market growth. Modern spark plugs enhance cold starting and produce efficient combustion that will augment the performance of the vehicles and fuel efficiency. However, increasing penetration of electric vehicles and powered equipment such as saws & mowers and technical up gradation of automotive engines to economize are factors that will hamper the market growth to some extent.
