Timing Belt Market Projected to Reach strong Growth in Automotive Industry

The global timing belt market reached a value of US$ 7.2 Billion in 2023. A timing belt, also known as a cam belt, is a rubber belt that plays a vital role in internal combustion engines. It is placed below the timing cover which is present in front of the engine. The primary function of timing belts is to connect and synchronize the rotations of crankshaft and camshaft. The absence of a timing belt leads to the collision of pistons and valves which can cause severe damage to the engine. The timing belt also acts as a water pump, balance shaft and oil pump which need to be synchronized with the crankshaft.

Over the past few years, the rising sales of automobiles along with a noticeable increase in the demand for timing belts from the replacement industry have positively influenced the growth of the market. Besides this, there has been a rise in the number of recreational races with vehicles having different engine sizes such as SUVs, monster trucks, dirt bikes, and sprint cars. As timing belts sustain frequent damages in these races, manufacturers are introducing high-quality products for individuals participating in these events. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 10.7 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during 2024-2032.
