Gasoline direct injection (GDI) system is an advanced and effective fuel injection technology, which offers multiple advantages such as higher thermal efficiency by stratified operation, increased compression ratio, decrease in fuel consumption & carbon dioxide emissions, lower heat losses, and others as compared to other gasoline fuel injection technologies. The environment protection agencies have drawn down the emission limits annually, owing to increase in air pollution. Furthermore, rise in price of the fuel necessitates improvements in engine efficiency. Since the engines with carburetor do not hold the air-fuel ratio near the stoichiometric mixture at different working conditions, catalytic converter cannot be used in these engines, therefore, these engines have high emission valves and low efficiency.

The GDI systems market is expected to witness high growth rate during the forecast period owing to engine downsizing, improved engine performance & thermal efficiency, high fuel efficiency, turbocharging, and significant reduction in emission. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles jointly account for the major share of GDI systems market revenue. Manufacturers such as BMW, Daimler, KIA Motors, Ford, and others incorporated GDI systems in most of their mid-range and high-end gasoline-driven vehicles. Leading market players focus on improvement in this technology, and invest significantly in R&D for the same. For instance, in 2016, Proton Holdings Berhad, a Malaysian carmaker, invested $136 million in R&D of a new range of engines in collaboration with Ricardo Plc and Lotus Group.

The GDI systems is driven by increase in demand for fuel-efficient, high-performance, and low emission vehicles. In addition, the trend of reduction in vehicular emission due to stringent government regulations is expected to fuel the growth of GDI systems market. However, high cost of GDI system due to high pressure components and increase in penetration of electric vehicles impede the market growth. Furthermore, increase in particulate emissions such as NOx, which is difficult to curb post combustion, restrains the growth of the market. Development of advanced GDI system such as turbo GDI and integration of these systems in hybrid vehicles to improve propulsion are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the stakeholders of this market such as system integrators, vehicle manufacturers, engine manufactures, and component providers.
