It led the way in BSVI-compliant spark plugs, diversified into ignition coils, and solidified OEM and aftermarket presence. Moreover, with more vehicle ownership and extended driving ranges, demand for low-maintenance spark plugs is on the rise. The trend of moving towards higher-performance engines in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles is also enhancing the use of advanced spark plug technologies. The growth of premium and high-speed two-wheelers in India is also leading the demand for efficient ignition components to provide robust engine operation. As consumers intensely prioritize lowering long-term costs of maintaining vehicles, demand for high-quality spark plugs that improve fuel combustion and engine performance is likely to continue increasing in all segments of vehicles.
Rising Popularity of Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Compatible Spark Plugs
The growing use of alternative fuel cars, such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and ethanol-petrol blended cars, is affecting spark plug demand in India. These vehicles need specific spark plugs that have more heat resistance and optimized electrodes to provide efficient combustion and reliable ignition. With changing fuel prices, there is an amplifying number of consumers and fleet operators shifting over to CNG and LPG vehicles because of their reduced operating expenses and their environmental advantages. The efforts of the Indian government to encourage ethanol-blended fuels as well as alternative fuels are also bringing into focus the demand for spark plugs that remain operative under greater combustion pressure and diverse fuel mixtures. Automotive companies and service centers are emphasizing offering spark plugs designed specifically for alternative fuel engines to guarantee maximum performance. With the ongoing transition to cleaner fuel technologies, the demand for spark plugs that improve ignition efficiency in such vehicles is increasing gradually.
Expansion of Aftermarket Sales and Replacement Demand
