Automotive engine encapsulation is used for insulating the engine for better transfer of heat between the surroundings and the engine body, where the engine of the vehicle is covered with a shield. The covering of an engine’s vehicle creates a thermoplastic sandwich shield, which helps isolate engine noise, enhances the thermal efficiency of the vehicle, minimizes the warm-up time, and provides heat while the engine starts. Engine encapsulation retains the heat of the engine within the compartment to enhance the efficiency and performance of the engines by allowing lubricants and oils to maximize the performance. Growth in demand for silent vehicles and rise in concerns related to fuel-efficiency are driving the global automotive engine encapsulation market.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

• As the supply chain becomes stable, the OEMs are expected to gradually increase their production volume with the help of their firsthand experiences from locations that have already resumed operations in the market. 
• The shutdown of OEM assembly plants had a pronounced ripple effect on the rest of the industry, with thousands of suppliers and sub-suppliers being directly impacted. 
• It is estimated to have a slow restarting of operations, first for the plants and then for suppliers, with the plants that support the most profitable vehicles being the first to come back online. 
• The industry is expected to witness restrictions continue for some time until the vaccine is found.

Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis 

The need to minimize engine noise and CO2 emission from vehicles is estimated to drive the market. Moreover, increased demand for electric and hybrid vehicles eliminates the need for engine components that can hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, increased demand for fuel-efficient and energy-saving vehicles is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the global automotive engine encapsulation market.

The global automotive engine encapsulation market trends are as follows:

Need to minimize engine noise: 

Diesel engines make a lot of noise, which makes buyers uncomfortable at times. Some of the most refined diesel engines can make a lot of noise when compared to a petrol engine. However, manufacturers are now penetrating the lower segment vehicles as well to meet stringent noise emission norm, which is expected to boost the global automotive engine encapsulation market.

Less CO2 emission from vehicles: 

Engine encapsulation enhances the fuel economy of vehicles by providing higher initial temperature to the engine and oils & lubricants along with enhancing the quality of exhaust coming out of the vehicle. Thus, manufacturers provide this addition in most of their vehicles, which is expected to drive the global automotive engine encapsulation market over the forecast period.
