What’s Driving Demand Growth for Off-Highway Diesel Engines?

“Increasing Demand in Application Sectors to Push Market Growth”

Demand for higher agricultural yield and protein & calorie-rich content is increasing. Agricultural land is increasing in Africa where agriculture accounts for 14% of the GDP, whereas, it is decreasing in developed regions such as Europe. Low income through farming in the developing south is pushing the population towards other means of livelihood, resulting in a less engaged workforce in the farming business.

Cultivatable land properties are also changing with changing environmental conditions. Extensive global food demand can be met through agricultural land expansion and higher production from existing cultivatable land. These factors are driving the demand for agricultural equipment. The ability to cover larger areas, have less reliance on labor, and enjoy high land utilization rates can be achieved by using agricultural machines.

The market continues to see advancements, and growth in the use of such equipment is driving the sales of off-highway diesel engines. As a result, the market is expected to showcase 1.9X growth over the forecast period.

“Rising Demand for Compactness & High Power Output in Small Off-Road Engines”

Owing to their compactness and high power output, small off-road engines are likely to exhibit rising demand. These engines have found applications in diverse fields. Growing demand for power snowmobiles, boring units, and others is driving the demand for small off-road engines in the automotive industry.

Their compactness is an advantage for all of their end users. Soaring emphasis on higher production in agriculture is encouraging the farming workforce to opt for smaller-horsepower engines. These machines find application in powering small pumps, power weeders, rotary tillers, and cultivators.

Rising demand for these engines in construction, agriculture, and many other industries is likely to be an impetus for the demand growth for small off-highway engines.

“Modular Units & Engine Downsizing Supporting Creation of Cost-effective Solutions”

Competition is increasing in the market based on modular products, significant fuel economy, and reduced maintenance costs. Modular technology offers the flexibility to create, replace, or modify the design independently. It also offers cost-reduction benefits.

Efficient and powerful small engines providing increased power density have become a replacement for traditional large-displacement engines. Downsizing enables weight reduction, lower emissions due to less fuel consumption, and reduced friction losses due to lesser swept volume. Modular and downsized engines also reduce manufacturing, purchasing, and maintenance costs.

Cost reduction is likely to increase the demand for off-highway engines. As assessed, the market is expected to create an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 93.1 billion by 2032.

Category-wise Insights

Which Application of Off-Highway Diesel Engines Will Create High Revenue Generation Opportunities?

During the projected period, the agriculture and forestry equipment application segment is anticipated to account for the highest market share. Fierce competition in the mining and construction sectors to lower costs related to fuel prices and increase profits is another reason driving the growth of the off-highway diesel engine industry.

Fleet managers and operators prefer using off-highway diesel engines to gain a competitive edge and maintain profitability. However, small- and medium-sized fleet operators cannot afford the hefty deployment costs of these diesel engines. They continue to carry out mining and building activities using traditional machinery and equipment because of their low profit margins.

Increasing regulations by governments in different regions for near-zero diesel emissions is a factor that will play out in this market. By application, agriculture & forestry is estimated at a market valuation of US$ 25.9 billion in 2022.

Why are 24 L Off-Highway Diesel Engines Most Widely Used?

Sales of engines with a capacity greater than 24 L are anticipated to increase the fastest at a CAGR of 8.2%. Broad use in the manufacturing, construction, power sports, mining, and agricultural sectors is contributing to this rise. Due to their significant presence in key markets of marine engines; power sports vehicles; heavy commercial equipment; small, medium, and compact construction and agricultural equipment; they are expected to see an increase in popularity in the near future.

The more than 24 L off-highway engines segment is predicted to expand 2.2X during the forecast period.
