Product Overview

 Automotive chain tensioners are device which are used to maintain the chain tension and also used to transfer torque consistently. Automotive chain tensioners reduce the noise and vibration, reduces the wear and tear of the chain and also enhance the life of the drive parts. The automotive chain tensioners are used to reduce the shocks incur while carrying heavy loads. Automotive chain tensioners may require adjustments and are available in various shape and sizes. It can handle extreme temperature fluctuations and are widely used in heavy machinery equipment, automobiles and bicycle.

Market Size and Forecast

Growth Drivers and Challenges

The increasing demand of automotive chain tensioners by OEM’s coupled with rising manufacturing of two wheelers in the developing countries such as China and India is anticipated to boost the demand for the automotive chain tensioners during the forecast period. The increasing manufacturing of commercial and passenger vehicles worldwide is an also major growth driver for the global automotive chain tensioners market. Automotive Chain Tensioners provides opportunities for the aftermarket services which have increased maintenance services of the chain tensioners during the forecast period. The various OEM’s are investing on producing automotive chain tensioner which has long life and has high quality durability with enhanced composite material.

However, the automotive chain tensioner cannot bear fluctuation of load and may suffer damage which is the major challenge to the global automotive chain tensioners market. Additionally, chain tensioner requires continuous lubrication and cannot bear harsh environmental conditions which are also anticipated to restraint the market growth.
