Fuel feed pumps in automobiles transfer liquid from the fuel tank to the carburetor of the internal combustion engine through a fuel filter. The fuel is drawn from the tank via a pipe to the carburetor and the fuel pressure needs to be within certain specifications for the engine to run correctly. Moreover, if the fuel pressure is too high, the engine will run rough & rich not combusting all the fuel whereas if the pressure is low the engine may run lean or misfire. Furthermore, this device is not usually used in motorcycles since the motorcycle requires gravity to feed fuel from the tank. In fuel feed pumps, fuel delivery from the pump is performed at the maximum flow rate and the pressure regulator discharges the exceeding fuel amount either from the rail or upstream high-pressure pump. In addition, the carburetted engine uses low-pressure mechanical pumps that are mounted outside the fuel tank whereas fuel-injected engines use electric fuel feed pumps. Thus, there are various steps in determining the right fuel feed pump which can establish the right engine fuel efficiency by finding out the voltage of the pump and customizing the pump according to the requirements.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- Due to the COVID-19, lockdown imposed by the government has led to business shutdowns which has a severe impact on the automotive market. The production and sales of new vehicles have come to a halt across the globe since the pandemic has disrupted the whole automotive ecosystem. Moreover, OEMs had to wait until lockdowns were lifted to resume production but still due to social distancing norms there was unavailability of labor which affected their business. Thus, disruption in automobile production has affected the demand for fuel feed pumps. Furthermore, the manufacturing of fuel feed pumps has also been disrupted, due to the unavailability of raw materials. COVID-19 negatively impacted the automotive fuel feed pump market.
Top Impacting Factors
A rise in the stringent government regulation regarding CO2 emission, rise in focus of automakers towards fuel-efficient vehicles and rise in disposable income of the users to purchase automobiles are expected to drive the growth of the market.
However, high demand for electric vehicles and rise in the cost of electric fuel feed pumps can hamper the growth of the market.
Moreover, expansion in vehicle production, technological advancement for efficient pumps, and service & replacement of pumps can improve the market growth.
Market Trends
Rise in focus of automakers towards fuel-efficient vehicles
- In the last few years, automakers have introduced advanced technologies to meet the rise in demand for high fuel efficiency and high operating capability of vehicles. The fuel feed pump helps in enhancing the vehicle efficiency as it delivers the fuel at an optimized pressure to the carburetor as per requirement. Thus, the demand for a reliable fuel feed pump has increased with an increase in focus to improve vehicle performance and value customers. Therefore, all the factors are expected to drive the growth of the automotive fuel feed pumps market.
- High demand for electric vehicles
- The increasing demand for alternative fuel vehicles has fuelled the demand for electric vehicles in urban areas and cities. Moreover, to reduce crude oil consumption, automotive emissions, and air pollution, governments authorities across the world have adopted and implemented favorable policies which promote the use of electric vehicles. For instance, the federal government of Canada has announced that 10 % of the new passenger cars sold in 2025 should be zero-emission in 2025, 30 % by 2030 and 100 % by 2040. Thus, the increasing demand for electric vehicles can hamper the growth of the automotive fuel feed pumps market.
Rise in cost of the electric fuel feed pump
- The increase in electrification of the automotive component has increased the overall cost of vehicles. The electrification is done by using electronic components such as ECUs, sensors, and microcontrollers with actuators. Moreover, electrification helps in reducing the weight of a vehicle and meet the stringent emission norms. Thus, the rise in electric fuel feed pumps can hamper the growth of the automotive fuel feed pumps market.
