Automotive Camless Engine Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global automotive camless engine market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.60% in the forecast period of between 2025 and 2034, driven by the improved fuel efficiency offered by these engines and reduced maintenance needs.

Key Trends in the Market

A camless engine which is also known as free-valve piston engine, is a type of engine that has no camshaft and thus, the poppet valves are operated with the help of hydraulic, pneumatic, or electromagnetic actuators. Camless engines are mostly used in power stations and marine applications but are increasingly being used for automotives. The exhaust timing and fuel injection are controlled by the engine control unit that can be changed and adjusted without stopping the engine.

• Market key players are carrying out research and development activities in order to improve the performance and fuel efficiency of automotive engines to reduce carbon emissions. Strict regulations imposed by various governments to control carbon emissions has also encouraged investments by manufacturers for the development of advanced technology for automotive camless engines.
• Growing inclination of consumers towards light weight vehicles is increasing the production of camless engines by original equipment manufacturers thereby fuelling the growth of automotive camless engine market.
• Use of computer system to control the working of camless engine has proved to be a great asset in eliminating mechanical failures, increasing the safety of the vehicles. Computer systems also help regulate the fuel injections.
