03 Trends & forecasts
Top 10 Engine Industry Trends & Forecasts 2027
What is changing in the engine industry, with the evidence behind each trend and a forecast for 2027.
Forecasts were generated by an AI model from the cited evidence. They are estimates, not guarantees.
01Electric powertrains gain global share
High confidenceGlobal electric-car sales exceeded 20 million in 2025, rising about 20% year on year; electric cars represented roughly one in four cars sold globally. China accounted for more than half of the global increase in electric-car sales.[3]
Forecast 2027: Electric cars should approach 25–30% of global new-car sales in 2027, increasing demand for battery systems while reducing the addressable market for conventional light-duty engines. Growth will remain fastest in China and other markets where affordability and policy support are strongest.
02Hybrid engines extend the transition
High confidenceThe overview indicates that electric and hybrid powertrains represented about 30% of global car sales in 2024, while pure internal-combustion-engine car sales were 30% below their 2017 peak. Hybrid systems therefore remain an important intermediate technology rather than a short-lived niche.[3]
Forecast 2027: Hybrid and plug-in-hybrid production should continue rising in 2027, particularly in regions with weaker charging networks or slower battery-electric adoption. Engine suppliers will increasingly sell combustion engines designed specifically for hybrid duty cycles rather than for conventional drivetrains.
03Global vehicle demand continues expanding
High confidenceGlobal vehicle production increased from 92.7 million units in 2024 to 96.4 million in 2025, while global vehicle sales rose from 95.3 million to 99.8 million units.[75]
Forecast 2027: Global vehicle output should remain near or modestly above 100 million units in 2027, supporting demand for engines, electric drive units and replacement components even as the mix shifts away from conventional powertrains. Growth is likely to be concentrated in Asia and other emerging markets.
04China strengthens manufacturing dominance
High confidenceChina accounted for 70% of electric-car production in 2025 and more than 80% of battery-cell production. It also produced approximately 35% of all global vehicles in 2025, according to the overview.[3][75]
Forecast 2027: China should remain the largest center for electric-powertrain, battery and vehicle production in 2027. Chinese suppliers and automakers are likely to expand export-oriented manufacturing, increasing competitive pressure on engine producers in Europe, North America and Japan.
05Battery prices continue falling
Medium confidenceAverage battery-pack prices fell 8% in 2025 to $108 per kWh, according to the IEA. The decline was attributed to manufacturing efficiency, chemistry improvements and intense competition, although lithium and cobalt costs increased during 2025 and early 2026.[89]
Forecast 2027: Battery-pack prices should decline further in 2027, but probably more slowly than during the strongest phase of the cost curve. Lower pack costs should support larger batteries, longer-range vehicles and continued substitution of combustion engines in passenger cars.
06Battery supply chains remain concentrated
High confidenceGlobal lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity exceeded 4 TWh at the end of 2025, with China accounting for more than 80% of capacity. Chinese producers supplied almost 75% of global electric-car battery deployment in 2025.[3]
Forecast 2027: Battery manufacturing diversification should accelerate in 2027, but China will continue to control the largest share of cells and key components. Engine and vehicle companies outside China will increasingly use local-content rules, joint ventures and long-term supply agreements to reduce exposure to this concentration.
07Critical-mineral price risk persists
High confidenceThe IEA reports that lithium prices doubled and cobalt prices rose 130% between the start of 2025 and April 2026, while critical minerals represented almost 20% of battery-pack costs in 2025. The agency also identifies high concentration and price volatility as major supply-chain risks.[89][3]
Forecast 2027: Mineral prices are likely to remain volatile in 2027 rather than return to a stable low-cost regime. Automakers and engine suppliers will respond through chemistry substitution, recycling, inventory buffers and greater use of long-term procurement contracts.
08Aircraft-engine aftermarket gains weight
High confidenceGE Aerospace reported that internal shop-visit revenue grew in 2025 compared with 2024, while total engine deliveries and LEAP engine deliveries increased as material supply improved. Aircraft-engine demand follows commercial air travel, freight activity and defense funding, while the installed fleet creates recurring maintenance demand.[1][23]
Forecast 2027: Aircraft-engine maintenance, repair and overhaul should remain one of the fastest-growing and most resilient engine revenue streams in 2027. Supply constraints and a large installed base will keep service contracts, spare parts and shop visits strategically important.
09Aircraft-engine supply bottlenecks persist
High confidenceAirbus cited Pratt & Whitney engine shortages as a constraint on its production ramp-up, despite an order backlog of more than 8,754 aircraft at the end of 2025. Engine shortages have also increased the value and leasing cost of spare and replacement engines.[28][90]
Forecast 2027: Engine availability should improve gradually in 2027 but remain a production constraint for some narrow-body aircraft programs. Manufacturers will prioritize supplier resilience, capacity expansion and reliability improvements over aggressive reductions in unit costs.
10Heavy-duty emissions rules reshape engines
High confidenceThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopted stronger heavy-duty vehicle and engine standards beginning with model year 2027. In 2026, EPA also proposed amendments affecting compliance provisions and test procedures for model-year-2027-and-later heavy-duty engines.[65]
Forecast 2027: The 2027 model year will increase demand for after-treatment, controls, calibration and thermal-management technologies in heavy-duty engines. Regulatory uncertainty in the United States will encourage manufacturers to keep multiple technology pathways open, including diesel, hybrid and zero-emission platforms.
