Automotive Cylinder Liner Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Automotive Cylinder Liner Market is expected to reach USD 6452.36 million by 2031 with CAGR of 3.5 % between 2025 and 2031

Cylinder liner or Cylinder sleeve is a cylindrical space fitted into an engine which allows piston to reciprocate very smoothly. It is one the most important part of engine as it gives friction and wear protective surface for piston and rings. Cylinder liner needs to be hard enough because of repeating friction caused with piston ring. If Cylinder liner use for longer service time generally 12000 hours at higher Revolutions per minute (RPM) could cause serious problem of wearing. Hence the environment in which the Cylinder liner materials will operate plays an important factor in determining the material performance requirements.  

Cast Iron, Cast steel, Nickel CI, Nickel chrome CI are the most common used material in manufacturing of Cylinder liner. The material must deliver high resistance to heat, friction and vibrations. High temperatures and Corrosive environments, can hugely affect the performance of most materials used in manufacturing. The hardness ability of the material helps to resist water and is hence useful in Cylinder liner manufacturing but the hard material is harder to machine and it needs harder steel tools for shaping. Hence the production manufacturer must proportionate both properties of a material.  

Cylinder liner broadly divided into two categories as wet liner and dry liner. The main difference between the two types is their contact with a surface. The dry liner will contact directly with the cylinder block and the Wet liner will contact with the coolant. Cylinder liners are most importantly used to form a sliding surface to transfer compressed gas and heat. When designing a wet cylinder liner important thing to consider is the stiffness aspects of the material used. The most important aspect of both Cylinder liners are Less consumption of lubricant, Less wear on the cylinder liner itself, High anti-galling properties and Less wear on the associated piston ring.  

On the application side Cylinder liners are used in Gasoline engines and Diesel engines. Cast iron cylinder liners are mostly used in commercial vehicles like buses and trucks. The direct sliding motion of aluminium alloys has pitfalls of wear resistance and deformation during operation. A cylinder wall in an engine is under high pressure as well as high temperature with the piston and piston rings sliding at high speeds. Hence quality of material is an important factor, especially in Gasoline engines.  

Asia Pacific is the highest growing region in terms automobile market with 53.8 % market share for Lightweight vehicles. The region has an estimated selling of 49 million LightWeight vehicles sold in 2023. China is the highest selling region with around 27 million Lightweight Vehicle sold in 2023. North America holds the second highest market share in automobiles followed by Europe as the Automobile market increases Cylinder liners market will increase likewise.
