DUBLIN, Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Global Automotive Thermoelectric Generator Market: Focus on Materials, Components, Vehicle Type, and Region - Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global Automotive Thermoelectric Generator Market to Reach $61.44 million by 2028

With the increasing fuel efficiency requirement of the engine becoming a major concern, the automotive thermoelectric generator is expected to play an important role in the coming future. As a large amount of heat is wasted in the process of energy conversion in the automotive industry, thermoelectric generator gives a solution to minimize this wastage of heat. Thermoelectric generators have a great potential to reduce fuel consumption by converting waste heat into a usable form, which can be used for running auxiliaries and automotive systems, such as air conditioning system, infotainment system and lightings.

With rapid advancements and innovations in the automotive industry, thermoelectric generator is expected to have an enormous opportunity for its growth, given its advantages and growing need to increase the fuel efficiency of engines. The automotive thermoelectric generator market is still in its nascent stage, however, it has been used in several pilot projects to test their feasibility and efficiency. Major automotive manufacturers, such as GM, BMW AG, Volkswagen Group, and Ford Motor Company, among others, have already carried out research and development in the field of an automotive thermoelectric generator to explore its potential.

One of the major factors driving the demand for automotive thermoelectric generator in the global market is improved vehicle fuel efficiency, further increasing the requirement for fuel efficiency. The automobile industry is amidst a revolution to accelerate its pace toward becoming a sustainable and green industry. Proper utilization of waste heat in the automobile industry is another concern that has been gaining traction for a long time. As per the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the heat energy lost due to the internal fuel combustion in the automobiles is almost 65%. Thermoelectric generators, with the help of thermoelectric materials, can convert the waste heat into electricity. Many automobile manufacturers have been actively participating in the development of the technologies that reduce heat wastage.

On the basis of material, the thermoelectric generator market has been segmented as bismuth telluride, lead telluride, magnesium silicide, skutterudites and others. In terms of value, in 2022, magnesium silicide is anticipated to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. The demand for magnesium silicide is expected to be attributed to its low cost, non-toxic nature, and better properties such as higher electrical conductivity, larger seebeck coefficients, and lower lattice thermal conductivity as compared to other materials.

On the basis of vehicle type, the automotive thermoelectric generator market includes passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicle sector is expected to be the largest market for vehicle type during the forecast period. With the government and OEMs focusing on improving the fuel efficiency of the on-road vehicles, various international efforts have been made to reduce the rate of global warming resulting in a new Standard No 443/2009 by European Union, which prescribed the reduction emission of CO2 up to 130 g/km for new passenger cars till 2015 and up to 95 g/km by the end of 2021. A

s use of thermoelectric generator in the passenger vehicles is expected to recover and reuse the waste heat to charge the onboard battery which is used to run automotive components, such as infotainment system and air-conditioning system, various car manufacturers, such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Ford, and GM, are now focusing on developing automotive thermoelectric generator (TEG) for passenger vehicles, thus expectedly increasing its demand in the passenger vehicles segment.

North America is expected to dominate the market in 2022, with the U.S. as the highest revenue generating country for this market. Presence of OEMs continuously working on developing thermoelectric generator and several ongoing research activities in various institutes in the country are the major factors expected to propel the demand for thermoelectric generator in the country. Europe is estimated to be the fastest growing market. The potential growth is expected to be supported by a large automotive base, increasing government regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emission, and increasing research and development in countries such as France and U.K.
