Global Automotive Port Fuel Injection (PFI) System Market Overview:
Automotive Port Fuel Injection (PFI) System is mainly used in diesel engines, as only diesel engines use compressed air for the fuel ignition system. To work this ignition system out, diesel engines rely on the fuel injection process. In port fuel injection, gasoline or diesel is sprayed into the intake ports of the cylinder where air and fuel are mixed to a proportion and then pulled into the engine cylinder. High air-fuel efficiency ratio and use of manifold injection for metered fuel supply are the factors considered to drive the port fuel injection system market growth. Moreover, the increasing automobile industries across the globe are the key supporting factor driving the growth of the market.
Several key players in the market including Robert Bosch and Continental AG are still using the PFI system for their diesel engine manufacturing owing to the reliability of the system. Furthermore, increasing the inclusion of no. of injectors ensures that each cylinder will get the same amount of fuel.
Global Automotive Port Fuel Injection (PFI) System Market Dynamics:
The increasing requirement of optimum combustion of fuel and the need for low propulsion of exhaust gases are the factors driving the port fuel injection system market growth. Furthermore, innovative policies drafted by the governments of emerging economies across the globe for automobile manufacturing are boosting the automotive PFI system market growth during the forecast period. Trade liberalization of automobile manufacturers and governments is driving the port fuel injection system market growth.
Stringent emission control norms and restrictions imposed by the government is the key factor driving the automotive port fuel injection system market growth to some extent. Furthermore, the need of decreasing the engine size with the increase in performance is the key factor attributing to create higher demand in the market for upcoming years.
Introduction of the new fuel injection system including gasoline direct injection, reverse manifold and others are the factors restraining the automotive port fuel injection system market growth.
Cost effectiveness of Automotive Port Fuel Injection (PFI) System market:
Port fuel injection system needs less space compared to the direct injection system. Also, as the port fuel injection system is used in diesel engines only, light commercial vehicles are the dominating vehicle type in the automotive port fuel injection system market. As the PFI system needs only low pressure and less fuel, the system eliminates the demand for a high torque ratio and high power consumption which are the factors considered to maintain the cost-effectiveness of the system. According to Automotive Manufacturers Association (AMA), the PFI module costs 25% less than the direct injection system used in heavy commercial and passenger cars.
Moreover, the PFI system is more reliable than a multipoint fuel injection system which is considered as a supporting factor driving the market growth. Thus PFI system is more cost-effective owing to less no. of embedded equipment.
Global Automotive Port Fuel Injection (PFI) System Market Segment Analysis:
Engine management system is the dominating segment in Automotive Port Fuel Injection (PFI) System market:
The engine management system consists of electronic and electrical equipment that helps in ensuring the smooth flow of processes within engine mechanism. Sensors, microcontrollers, and ECU’s are the key components of the engine management system. Factors attributing to the growth of the EMS system segment in the automotive port fuel injection system are the increasing need for accurate fuel economy measurement equipment and the increasing use of software systems to tailor the manufacturing of equipment. Sensors are also used to meter the air flow in the valve and also the closing and opening of injectors after the particular time frame.
Direct injection system hampers the automotive port fuel injection system:
The direct injection system is the latest technology in the fuel injection system market. In direct injection system, fuel is directly injected in the cylinders rather than fuel manifold making the system more efficient and uses almost 96% of the latent power of the fuel for sufficient burning. The use of high-pressure pumps and high volume control valves in direct injection systems are the factors hampering the port fuel ignition system. Hence, key players in the market are forced to invest in research and development in the PFI system for more efficient performance while making the engine space smaller as possible. Robert Bosch has announced to invest in an automotive port fuel injection system with approximately 300 million USD in the year 2020 to increase the sales channel and development in the performance of the engine.
