The global transmission fluids market size reached US$ 8.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 10.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9% during 2024-2032.

Transmission fluid refers to a lubricant to facilitate speed and torque conversions from the engine to the wheels for optimum performance. The fluid lubricates the bearings and metallic components in the gearbox of the automobile and prevents them from wear and tear. Some of the commonly used transmission fluids include automatic, manual, specialty and synthetic transmission fluids. In comparison to the traditionally used lubricants, transmission fluids offer superior oxidation, thermal stability, minimal deposit formation, high viscosity index, resistance against rust and corrosion and compatibility with elastomers. As a result, they find extensive applications in passenger cars, construction vehicles and agricultural machinery to deliver optimum on-road performance and provide wear protection to transmission components.

The growing automotive industry across the globe represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook on the market. Furthermore, shifting consumer preferences, along with the increasing demand for improved vehicle performance and reliability, is also driving the market growth. In line with this, transmission fluids are also used in off-road vehicles for improved valve operation, brake band friction and torque conversion. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of environment-friendly transmission fluids fortified with anti-wear additives and stable viscosity enhancers, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These additives prevent oil film breakdown, provide a seamless gear shift mechanism and optimize the fuel economy of the vehicle. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with the utilization of transmission fluids as coolants in automobiles with automatic transmission, are anticipated to drive the market further.
