Automotive Solenoid Market, By Vehicle, By Function, By Application, By Valve Design, By Sales Channel, By Country, and By Region – Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Market Share & Forecast from 2025-2032

REPORT HIGHLIGHT

Automotive Solenoid Market size was valued at US$ 5,124.78 Million in 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 5.80% from 2025 to 2032.
Automotive solenoids are electromechanically operated valves. They control how quickly gases and liquids pass through various automotive systems. Their operations are powered by electric current. When electricity passes through the solenoid coil, it produces an electromagnetic suction valve core (also known as an overcoming spring due to gravity). Automotive solenoids are frequently used to redirect the flow of gas, water, oil, and other fluids.

Automotive Solenoid Market- Market Dynamics

Growing Eco-Friendly Vehicle Demand Fuels Expansion of the Automotive Solenoid Market
Increasing demand for eco-friendly vehicles is expected to drive the automotive solenoid market in the coming years. Eco-friendly vehicles are those that are designed to have a lower negative environmental impact than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Automotive solenoids are utilised in eco-friendly vehicles for various purposes, including enhanced efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved overall performance. For instance, in April 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that electric car sales accounted for 14% of all new cars sold globally in 2022, up from 9% in 2021. Over 2.3 million electric vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2023, a 25% increase over the same period last year. Furthermore, 14 million electric cars are expected to be sold by the end of 2023, representing a 35% increase over the previous year. As a result, the growing demand for environmentally friendly vehicles is driving the automotive solenoid market.
