Engines Market Overview

The Engines Industry showed great resilience and demand for new engines in 2024 by capitalising on the growth of various industries from transportation, industrial applications, marine uses, aviation, and power generation among other things. With approximately 65% of all installed engines was internal combustion engines, the major drivers were the construction and agriculture industries with heavy-duty vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, and back-up generators making up most of their production. Approximately 28% to 30% of the global demand for engines comes from industrial and off-road engines which reflects the strong construction and mining industries that was continue to be active in the years to come. Even though electric motor technology has started to gain traction over the past decades, engines with over 500 hp provided about 40% of the global revenue of engine manufacturers, thus illustrated the continued reliance of the energy sector on high power, energy-dense engines even in the year 2024.

The Asia-Pacific Engines Market had the highest market volume of all markets in 2024 due to good support from both China and India, which in total represented more than 60% of total nation volumes for Engine demand through vehicle assembly, industry development and the Marine transportation industry advancing, and also the use of generated power from additions of power plants. The North America Engines Market, with demand primarily driven by aviation engines, Gas turbine, Defense systems, and Industrial back-up power. European Engines Market driven primarily Marine drive, and Regulatory Low-combustion Industrial Engines (due to Regulations).

By 2024 Global Engines Market had a low growth potential as manufacturers continue to optimize technology for user applications and will develop products based on those user applications rather than regional growth. Diesel engines was represented the majority of engine deployments, accounted for more than 55% of all deployed engines, which were primarily in the heavy duty trucking, construction, mining, and marine markets  whereas, gasoline engines accounted 25% of all engine deployments, primarily in passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles while gas and dual-fuel engines combined, contributed to less than 15% of all engine installations, reflected an increase in the number of power generation and industrial facilities adopting engines that offer flexibility in fuel supply. Engines that meet advanced emissions regulations accounted for more than 70% of all new shipments, while digitally enabled engines with predictive maintenance capabilities were incorporated into approximately 40% of the newly commissioned units in industrial and marine applications, supporting an ongoing shift towards maximizing efficiency, reliability, and the improved lifecycle value of engines throughout the industry in 2024.

Engines Market Dynamic’s

Demand from heavy-duty mobility alongside infrastructure expansions and the energy security needs drove the Engines Industry through 2024. Production volumes of commercial vehicles globally increased approximately 6%–7% annually. The growing volume of new builds in both freight and passenger commercial vehicles continues to increase demand for diesel and natural gas engines with high displacement ratings. Deployments of industrial and off-highway equipment growth increased almost 33% on top of the previous year. The development activity in construction and mining supported this growth. Additionally, more than 60% of new global installations for backup and captive power generation systems continue to be supplied by engine-based sources, especially in regions where power grid stability was lacking. Increased engine utilization continued in the aviation sector with nearly 12% growth in utilisation hours, resulting in an increase in replacement and maintenance needs across the aviation fleet.

Due to tighter emissions regulations, faster electrification, and increasing supply chain costs, the engines market in 2024 was under huge pressure. The average cost of manufacturing an engine increased by 12-15% as a result of compliance-related upgrades, with many diesel engines needing extensive after-treatment systems. The increase in use of electrified powertrains means that more than 18% of all new light vehicle drivetrains were electrified, which has limited the growth of internal combustion engine (ICE) volume in the passenger car segment. Volatile raw material prices led to an increase of 8-10% in component purchasing costs, and OEMs around the world reported a 5-7% longer lead time on critical components, which decreased production flexibility. The combination of these challenges has led to a decrease in margins for some end use categories and has slowed the ramp-up of capacity across multiple end use sectors.

The Engines Industry was expanding in new directions in 2024 by open to many different kinds of fuel, utilizing advanced technology, and had a much larger after-market service. The increase in orders for Gas/Dual Fuel and Hydrogen Designed engines for 2024 was generate almost one-fifth (20%) of all Power Generation & Industrial Engines. The demand for alternative fuels has fueled by companies that have made commitments to reduce their carbon footprint through decarbonizing strategies. The number of Hybridized engine systems for new heavy-duty engine platforms was approximately 15% of total launches in 2024. OEMs had investing heavily in AI-enabled diagnostics and Modular Engine architectures to allow them to increase their speed to Engines Market. The development of new products will allow OEMs to enhance their competitive position and create more value for their companies for years to come.

Expert Insight:

In 2024, the Engines Market remained structurally resilient, driven by sustained demand from heavy-duty transportation, industrial operations, marine, aviation, and power generation, where electrification penetration remains limited. Diesel engines and mid-range power systems continued to form the commercial backbone of the market, supported by infrastructure growth and energy security needs. At the same time, OEM focus on clean-combustion technologies, alternative fuels, digital monitoring, and aftermarket services highlighted a clear shift toward lifecycle optimization, positioning engines as a critical transitional technology in the global energy landscape.
