Based on type, the global automotive nitrous oxide system market is bifurcated into dry system and wet systems. The wet system dominates the market due to the growing usage of both nitrous oxide and fuel combinations in the engine.
Nitrous oxide has the capability of enhancing performance to a larger extent which has the reliability and longevity properties of automotive engines. These factors tend to boost the growth of the segment in the forecast period.
The dry segment is anticipated to hold significant growth in the forecast period and is expected to grow as a dry nitrous system is introduced through fuel injectors by keeping the manifold completely dry of fuel. The flow of fuel is enhanced by increasing the pressure of nitrous oxide in the systems. Dry nitrous oxide relies on nozzles that spray the nitrous in a single go, increasing the torque and high speed in real-time.
In terms of component, the global market is segmented into carbureted plate systems, direct port systems, controllers, and electronic fuel injection systems. The carbureted plate systems segment is projected to grow at a considerable CAGR due to the growing popularity of customizing old vintage cars. Owners of vintage cars or customized automobiles with carbureted engines choose NO2 systems to increase their performance with nitrous oxide. With the growing vehicle customization activities, the demand for NO2 is expected to grow, resulting in segment growth.
The electronic fuel injection systems segment is anticipated to grow rapidly in the coming years, as it regulates and optimizes the fuel/air ratio that enters vehicle engines.
