Torque Converter Market Trends Estimates High Demand by 2025
The Torque Converter
Market is driven by the high penetration of Automatic Transmission (AT) in
mid- and premium segment cars. Also, the increasing penetration of Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT) in mid-level vehicles is expected to drive the
market in developing countries. The increasing demand for luxury, comfort, and
convenience is driving technological advancements in the market. The torque
converter market is estimated to be at USD 5.90 Billion in 2016 and is
projected to reach USD 9.88 Billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.78% during the
forecast period.
The market is segmented by transmission type into AT, Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT), and Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). The CVT,
although fuel-efficient, has poor acceleration compared with AT. Torque
converters provide a better acceleration in CVT vehicles which solves a major
problem of CVT vehicles. With the increasing demand for premium segment CVT
vehicles in Asia Oceania, the demand for torque converters used in CVT vehicles
is expected to outpace the demand for torque converters used in AT and DCT
vehicles. As a result, the CVT torque converter segment is estimated to be the
fastest growing market, by transmission.
The torque converter market is segmented by vehicle type into
the passenger car and commercial vehicle. The penetration of automatics in
passenger cars is higher as the driving experience is more important in
passenger cars than commercial vehicles. Thus, the requirement of torque
converters in passenger cars is significantly more than that in commercial
vehicles.
The market is segmented by hybrid vehicle into Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). A PHEV can
be recharged from a charging station. This is the major advantage of a PHEV
over an HEV. Due to favorable government initiatives, the sale of PHEVs is
projected to increase significantly during the forecast period. As PHEVs are
premium vehicles, the penetration of AT and thus torque converters are
significantly higher. Thus, the PHEV torque converter segment is projected to
be the fastest growing hybrid vehicle market.
The torque
converter market is segmented by region into Asia Oceania, Europe, North
America, and RoW. North America has the largest penetration of automatics
making it the largest market for torque converters. The demand for CVT vehicles
in developing nations, such as China and India, is on the rise. Due to the
increasing automatic vehicle production and the increasing demand for CVT
vehicles, Asia Oceania is projected to be the largest market for torque
converters by 2025. In the US, AT vehicles were adopted in the 1960s; this has
led the country to have the largest share of the North American market. Thus,
the vehicle parc of AT is largest in North America when compared with other
regions. As torque converters are necessary for AT vehicles, the aftermarket in
North America is projected to remain the largest.
The torque
converter market is dominated by players such as Schaeffler (Germany), ZF
(Germany), Aisin (Japan), Valeo (France), and BorgWarner (US). Schaeffler is
one of the leading players in the market. The company has a wide product
portfolio and supplies torque converters to several OEMs. This provides the
company with a broad market as it operates in both the mass market as well as the
aftermarket.
