Piston system comprises a piston, piston rings, and piston pin; this system transfers the generated force to crankshaft through connecting rod. Piston generates mechanical energy that propels the crankshaft movement, which in turn, drives the wheels of the vehicle.

"Automotive piston is an engine component cylindrical in shape, which slides back and forth in the cylinder bore by the force produced by the expanding gas during the combustion process. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles such as heavy trucks and buses integrate more than four pistons, depending on the number of cylinders. Being an integral part of the automotive engine, the market is poised to grow on account of the increasing sales and production of automobiles. Numerous leading players focus on R&D to enhance their technical expertise and product portfolio, further supplementing the market growth", states Rachna Singh, Research Analyst at Allied Market Research.

The demand for automotive piston is driven by increase in sales & production of vehicles globally and advancement in technology such as integration of cooling channel in piston. However, technical advancements to downsize automotive engines and increase in penetration of electric vehicles hinder the growth of automotive piston market.

The automotive piston market is segmented on the basis of material type, piston type, coating type, vehicle type, and geography. By material type, aluminum piston segment would lead the market throughout the analysis period, accounting for around 67% of the overall automotive piston market revenue, owing to its qualities of being light-weight and having a low corrosion rate.
