  • Increasing Sales and Production of Electric Vehicle – As of 2021, the global sales of electric light vehicles were expected to reach approximately 6 million units, up from 2 million units. Furthermore, approximately 12 million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are expected to be produced by China in 2023.
  • Growth in the Auto Components Industry to Boost the Production of Ignition Coils– The auto component industry is flourishing Y-O-Y owing to ongoing innovations and a surge in investment by multiple organizations and companies. For instance, in 2021-22, the turnover registered by the auto component industry in India was projected to be around USD 56 million.
  • Escalation in the Number of Cars on the Road – As of 2022, around 1 billion cars were observed to be driven on the road. Additionally, 65 million automobiles were projected to be sold out across the globe.

Challenges

  • Concern About a Malfunctioning Ignition Coil – As it can cause the car to stall as a result of irregular sparks sent by the spark plug. Many modern engines have multiple ignition coils and if they have several bad ignition coils, it could result in faulty ignition and difficulty starting the engine.

  • High Cost Involved in the Research & Development
  • Stringent Government Regulations for Emission Norms
