Global automotive connecting rod market to grow at a CAGR of 3.16% during the period 2017-2021.

The report has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One trend in the market is use of titanium connecting rod. Titanium is known for its high strength, low density, durability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. These properties make titanium a preferable material to use in connecting rod in the place of steel. Even though titanium is costlier than steel, but its properties of durability, weight, and ability to withstand heat is attracting the market.

According to the report, one driver in the market is use of advanced material for manufacturing connecting rods. Using advanced material have led to an increase in the life span of connecting rods. The continuous development to increase the efficiency and strength of connecting rods is driving innovation initiatives in the market. Use of advanced materials significantly reduces replacement costs. The connecting rod is a key engine component, which affects the weight of the rest of the crank train. The connecting rod, piston, piston pins, and piston rings are the key contributors to the friction of engine. Lightweighting these components improve the mechanical efficiency of the engine. The use of fracture-split forged steel reduces the connecting rod's weight and increases its durability.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is increasing engine downsizing. Engine downsizing is a process wherein a smaller engine is used to deliver power equivalent to the larger engine by adding a boosting device, such as a turbocharger or a supercharger or by integrating direct fuel injection technology. This is done by reducing the engine capacity and the number of cylinders in it. Engine downsizing is becoming increasingly important day by day as it helps in improving vehicle's fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emission. Smaller engine capacity results in reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. Thus the vehicle is lighter and agiler. The static and dynamic downsizing are the contemporary trends in the development of combustion engines.
