Automotive Mechanical Oil Pump Market Analysis

Automotive Mechanical Oil Pump Industry Insights

Lubrication System Insights

• The wet sump category holds the larger market share, of 65%, in 2024. These variants are commonly used in smaller engines, which have minimal need for lubrication and lower power consumption.
• These variants are used in most automotive engines due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness low weight, and less maintenance requirement.

The following lubrication systems are included in the report:

• Wet Sump (Larger and Faster-Growing Category)
• Dry Sump

Vehicle Type Insights

• The passenger vehicles category accounts for the largest share, of 40%, in 2024.
• In comparison to other vehicle types, passenger vehicles are produced in larger numbers, to meet the ballooning demand for personal mobility around the world.

Vehicle types covered in the report are:

• Passenger Vehicles (Largest and Fastest-Growing Category)
• Light Commercial Vehicles
• Heavy Commercial Vehicles
• Off-Road Vehicles

Propulsion Insights

• The gasoline category will dominate the market in 2024 with around 50% share. Gasoline engines require less-frequent servicing compared to those that burn diesel, and they are cost-effective. Additionally, these engines are heavily dependent on the mechanical oil pump for lubrication and cooling.
• Hybrid is expected to be the faster-growing category, with a CAGR of 3.7%, during 2024–2030. With the environmental concerns and government regulations against pure-ICE vehicles, EV sales are rising. However, battery electric vehicles are expensive, and the charging infrastructure is not as expansive and reliable as required.
• Both these factors push the sale of HEVs/PHEVs, which combine the benefits of both ICEs and BEVs, including a longer driving range and lower emissions.

The propulsions covered in the report are:

• Diesel
• Gasoline (Largest Category)
• Hybrid (Fastest-Growing Category)

Discharge Type Insights

• The vane category is expected to witness the highest CAGR, of 2.6%, during 2024– 2030.
• The vane pump is also known as the surface tension pump due to its positioning on a rotor, which is normally used to enhance the velocity of the fluid.
• In comparison to gear pumps, vane pumps are capable of managing less-viscous fluids at high pressures, despite running for short periods.

The discharged types covered in the report are:

• Gear
• Gerotor
• Vane (Largest and Fastest-Growing Category)
• Others

Sales Channel Insights

• OEMs hold the bigger share, of 70%, in 2024. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for mechanical oil pumps by OEMs to be integrated into vehicles during the manufacturing process.
• OEMs are expected to provide better parts compared to the aftermarket as they are household names among customers.
• Further, the stringent emission regulations necessitate efficient lubrication for reduced fuel consumption, which forces OEMs to procure advanced mechanical pumps from their automotive component partners.

The sales channels covered in the report are:

• OEMs (Larger and Faster-Growing Segment)
• Aftermarket
