Description
A hose is defined as a flexible hollow tube structure designed to carry fluids from one location to another. Hoses are made from one or a combination of many different materials. Based on the environment and pressure needed in the applications, materials like nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene, PVC, or synthetic or natural rubbers are used. A serpentine beltis a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, air pump, etc.
Belts and hoses have the shortest lifespanamong all the equipment in a vehicle. Due to constant exposure to heat, vibration, and harmful chemicals, these components invariably crack, leak, fray, and peel.
Market Dynamics:
Due to the growing production of vehicles at the global level, stringent emission regulations and norms, improvement in materials for durability of hoses, and adoption of fuel efficient technologies, the global automotive hoses market is expected to grow at a substantial growth rate in the upcoming years.
The emerging nations are in the forefront in the growth of automobile and its component industries. Their increasing growth rates, population paying as a demographic dividend, the level of innovation taking place in these nations and improving standard of living has contributed to the growth of the automobile sector.
Electrically Assisted Power Steering, an advanced technology can impact the power steering hoses market positively. Also, a significant amount of research is being carried out for the use of blended fuels in the hose market. Due to a harsher working environment, the process through which belts and hoses are made is more focused on their durability. However, the increase in the adoption of electric vehicles can act as a restraint to the growth of belts and hoses market.
