Hybrid Powertrains and Performance and Specialized Vehicles: Hybrid vehicles, which combine an internal combustion engine and electric power, have become popular as a step toward full electrification. For ICE manufacturers, developing hybrid powertrains provides opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend vehicle range. These advancements may close the gap between traditional ICE vehicles and electric vehicles.

North America dominated the global internal combustion engine market and at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. The automotive industries in the United States and Canada are well-established, and there is a sizable market for ICE-powered automobiles. Trucks, SUVs, and high-performance cars continue to be popular in this area despite the growing interest in EVs, which fuels the demand for ICE engines. To lessen the adverse effects of ICE vehicles on the environment, there is also a focus on alternative fuels like biofuels. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements and other strict emission rules have prompted the development of cleaner and more effective ICE engines.
