According
to the study “North
America 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. North American has imposed stringent emission norms and
regulations that encourage the manufacturers to build durable rubber hoses.
Various types of automotive rubber hoses are non-reinforced rubber hoses and
metal-reinforced rubber hoses. North America automotive rubber hoses are
utilized in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, special purpose
vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles and two wheelers. Automotive rubber hoses
are used as air conditioning hoses, turbocharger hoses, engine heating, cooling
and radiator hoses, transmission hoses, lubrication hoses, fuel hoses and brake
hoses. Automotive rubber hoses are easily available at original equipment
manufacturers and in aftermarkets.
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 in North America 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 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 in North America.
North America
accounts for major share of the automotive rubber hoses market, followed by
Canada due to flourishing automotive industry. Mexico and Brazil are creating
attractive opportunities for the automotive rubber hoses market with the
establishment of many well-known automobile manufacturers. The leading vendors
in North America automotive rubber hoses market are Eaton, Hutchinson, Nichirin,
Sumitomo Riko, TOYODA GOSEI, Belmont Rubber, Codan Rubber, Continental, DuPont,
KraussMeffei Berstorff, Ningbo Fengmao Far-East Rubber, Shanghai Shangxiang
Automotive Hoses, Shore Auto Rubber Exports, and Viad Elastomer Processors.
The
increasing sales of LPG and CNG vehicles coupled with rise in consumers
disposable income has led to a huge demand for specifically built automotive
rubber hoses in North America. The major market challenge in North America is
the fluctuation in the prices of available natural rubber. Therefore, majority
of North American automotive rubber hoses manufacturers are investing heavily
in R&D to manufacture lightweight and durable automotive rubber hoses. It
was observed that there is an increase in production of automobiles,
modernization, increase in consumer disposable income and need for a personal
vehicle per individual which are the major factors driving the growth of the North
American automobile and rubber hose market over the next few years.
