Automotive Valves Market Report 2026

The automotive valves market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $32.46 billion in 2025 to $34.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global vehicle production, rising demand for internal combustion engines, increased adoption of air-conditioner and brake valves, expansion of passenger car and lcv segments, technological improvements in valve design and materials.

The automotive valves market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $42.09 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards electric vehicles and hybrid propulsion, increasing regulatory focus on emissions and fuel efficiency, rising demand for advanced engine and transmission valves, integration of smart and connected automotive systems, development of high-performance materials for longer valve life. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of electronic engine valves, growing use of solenoid valves in transmission systems, expansion of egr valves for emission control, rising demand for high-performance brake valves, increasing integration of thermostat valves in modern hvac systems.

The increasing adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive valves market in the future. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combines an internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system. Automotive valves utilized in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) are also employed in HEVs, including HVAC valves, solenoid valves, brake combination valves, and tire valves. These automotive valves are essential for the smooth operation of HEVs. For instance, in January 2024, a report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicated that in 2023, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and BEVs made up 16.3% of total new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales, an increase from 12.9% in 2022. The share of these vehicles peaked at 17.9% of total LDV sales in the latter half of 2023. Thus, the growing adoption of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is driving the expansion of the automotive valves market.

The growth in automobile production is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive valves market in the coming years. Increased vehicle production typically indicates the broader growth of the automotive industry, leading to higher demand for essential components such as automotive valves, which are crucial for the proper functioning of vehicles. For example, in March 2025, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Europe-based automobile industry group, reported that in 2024, car production in South America increased by 1.7% compared to 2023, with Brazil contributing a 6.3% rise, producing approximately 1.9 million cars. As a result, the growth in automobile production is expected to have a positive impact on the automotive valves market during the forecast period.

Leading companies in the automotive valve market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as modular valve solutions for electric vehicle (EV) thermal management systems, to enhance cooling efficiency, improve battery performance, and ensure overall vehicle safety. A modular valve system enables precise control of coolant flow, optimizing energy efficiency and extending the lifespan of critical components like batteries and electric motors. For example, in June 2024, TLX Technologies, a U.S.-based machinery manufacturer, introduced a new range of modular valve products designed specifically for EV thermal management systems. These modular valves are engineered to improve the efficiency of EV cooling systems by offering precise control over coolant flow, which contributes to better battery performance and overall vehicle safety. The introduction of these modular solutions helps optimize thermal management in electric vehicles, boosting energy efficiency and prolonging the lifespan of essential components like batteries and electric motors. This innovation highlights TLX's commitment to supporting the expanding EV market with advanced, customizable thermal management solutions.
