Market Overview:

The global diesel engine market size reached US$ 220.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 274.9 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.63% during 2023-2028.

Diesel engine is an internal combustion engine wherein air is compressed to a sufficiently high temperature inside a cylindrical vessel to ignite the fuel. It converts the chemical energy in the fuel into mechanical energy for powering freight trucks, locomotives, tractors, and marine vessels. At present, two types of diesel engines are available globally, which include two-stroke engines that complete one energy cycle in two piston strokes per crankshaft revolution and four-stroke engines. Four-stroke engines deliver one power stroke for every two piston cycles or four piston strokes.

Diesel Engine Market Trends:

A diesel engines offer improved operational performance, and consequently, they find extensive applications in the construction, marine, mining, healthcare, forestry, telecommunications, and agriculture industries across the globe. They also provide better fuel efficiency as compared to petrol engines and are increasingly utilized in commercial and heavy-duty vehicles. This, in confluence with the thriving automotive industry, represents one of the key factors propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, modern diesel engines have overcome the disadvantages of earlier models with higher noise and maintenance costs. These engines require less maintenance on account of the absence of spark plugs or wires. Besides this, diesel engines can operate with much higher compression ratios than spark-ignition engines, which allows them to achieve higher efficiencies. This, coupled with rising energy demand from the manufacturing industry and the increasing use of diesel engines for non-automotive applications, are positively influencing the market. Furthermore, there is a rise in the requirement for a reliable and consistent source of power generation to ensure uninterrupted and efficient operations. This is catalyzing the demand for diesel engines worldwide.
