Automotive Powertrain Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Vehicle Type (Commercial Vehicle, Passenger Vehicle, Mid-Sized Vehicles, Compact Vehicles, Luxury Vehicles, Premium Vehicles), Component Type (Differentials, Engine, Driveshaft, Transmission), Position (Rear-wheel Drive (RWD), All-wheel Drive (AWD), Front-wheel Drive (FWD)) and others
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Powertrain Market is accounted for $896.71 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $1927.1 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 13.6% during the forecast period. The term automotive powertrain refers to a group of systems that include everything from the vehicle's tyre to the engine's source of power. A typical vehicle's powertrain is made up of a number of parts, including an engine, transmission, differential, and shaft.
In accordance to The Federal Reserve, general industrial manufacturing elevated 0.9% in March 2022. Further, Mexican automotive manufacturing went up 31% in August as per Administrative Registry of the Light Vehicle Automotive Industry.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
High demand for four-wheel drive vehicles
As four-wheel drive vehicles have a higher number of components in their powertrain units, such as power differentials and transfer cases, the high demand for four-wheel drive vehicles aids in the growth of the automotive powertrain market.
Restraint:
Stringent government regulations
The government's strict requirements to engrave vehicle emissions for a carbon-free environment are features in the market's uninterrupted development.
Opportunity:
Rising inclination toward electric vehicles
Rising interest in electric vehicles is anticipated to present a sizable opportunity for market participants who are engaged in the production of electric vehicle drive trains over the course of the forecast period, so the development and production of components for hybrid and electric vehicles is anticipated to strengthen the position of that specific manufacturer in the automotive powertrain market.
Threat:
Adoption of public transport
Local governments in the majority of densely populated urban regions throughout the world are promoting the use of public transportation, which is predicted to hurt the market for car powertrains.
Covid-19 impact
The COVID-19 pandemic altered the nature of business and is expected to have an impact on the general business environment over the coming years. Lockdowns implemented globally to stop the virus's spread have caused supply chain delays and the temporary shutdown of many production sites. Shipments were delayed as a result, and output levels fell sharply. The automotive powertrain business was similarly impacted by the decline in sales of cars and trucks. This in turn had an effect on the expansion of the vehicle transmission market during the difficult COVID-19 period.
The commercial vehicle segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Based on vehicle type market is classified into Commercial Vehicle, Passenger Vehicle, Mid-Sized Vehicles, Compact Vehicles, Luxury Vehicles and Premium Vehicles. The commercial vehicle segment is projected to register a largest share over the forecast period due to the rising demand for an integrated supply chain network linking various modes of transportation, including trucking, freight train, air, and express delivery services. Global production volumes of commercial vehicles are anticipated to rise as a result of the introduction of electric vehicles in the commercial vehicle market and the decentralisation of production activities.
The Internal Combustion Engine electric vehicle segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The Internal Combustion Engine power vehicle segment is projected to register a CAGR of over the forecast period. Demand for power vehicles has risen as a result of declining sales of automobiles with internal combustion engines and CO2 target constraints. The widespread use of BEVs is a practical way to reduce emissions and, in the long term, the total cost of ownership. Additionally, during the course of the forecast period, improvements in battery technology and declining Lithium-ion battery prices are anticipated to increase demand for BEVs.
Region with highest share:
The region that generates the majority of income is expected to continue on its current trajectory during the analysis period. This is mostly explained by the rise in vehicle sales and automatic transmission demand in Asian nations. Additionally, the growing purchasing power of customers in emerging countries is probably going to increase demand for cutting-edge vehicles, which in turn will drive demand for updated powertrains in such vehicles. The need for cutting-edge automobiles has been fueled by a significant increase in consumer spending power, which has also significantly increased demand for improved technologies.
Region with highest CAGR:
Due to the vast number of automakers that are top producers of luxury vehicles with strong, cutting-edge powertrain units, Europe is a significant market for automotive powertrain. Major industrial firms' presence in the area has clearly fueled industry expansion. The region's fast expanding automotive powertrain market can be ascribed to the region's rising demand for electric vehicles as a result of the European Union and individual national governments' adoption of carbon emissions regulations. Research and development projects focused at creating high-performance, fuel-efficient, and low-carbon-emitting powertrains are also heavily funded by the region's main automakers.
