Automotive Automatic Transmission (AT) Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The technological developments in AT leading to fuel-efficient engines is notably driving the automotive automatic transmission (AT) market growth, although factors such as the declining use of DCT in the US market may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive automatic transmission (AT) industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Automatic Transmission (AT) Market Driver
The technological developments in AT leading to fuel-efficient engines is one of the key drivers supporting the automotive automatic transmission (AT) market growth. OEMs are now focusing on improving transmission designs to comply with the norms implemented by regulatory bodies across different countries in the world. Meanwhile, CVTs are improving by delivering better gear shifts with improved fuel efficiency. They also consume less fuel as they are lighter and more compact than standard AT and MT systems. As there are no gears in a CVT transmission system, the engine speed can be changed to harness greater power. In addition, CVT provides quicker acceleration than conventional AT or MT systems. Such advantages of CVT will drive the automotive AT market growth during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Automatic Transmission (AT) Market Trend
The development of auto-shift MT system with adaptive transmission control is one of the key automotive AT market trends contributing to market growth. Primarily, the auto-shift MT system works on the principle of Shift by wire electronic control system, which completely removes the manual gear lever shifting, allowing the driver to keep both hands on the steering wheel. The system basically uses the clutch to start and stop the vehicle, and when the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, an AT control mechanism that uses an onboard computer to gather information related to the driver's driving pattern and style has been developed, thereby aiding in delivering optimum shift timing for superior performance. Hence, such development will augment the growth of the global automotive AT market during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Automatic Transmission (AT) Market Challenge
The declining use of DCT in the US is one of the factors hampering the automotive AT market growth. There was a time when DCT was highly popular when it entered the US market owing to its better fuel efficiency and faster gear shifts. However, growing issues related to system efficiency and quality of products have led to DCT's downfall in the US automotive market. Further, US consumers are now not able to adapt to a DCT from a manual or AT. In some cases, proper engagement of the gear teeth is also an issue. Hence, the unpleasant experiences with DCT by the US consumers may hinder the growth of the global DCT system market, which in turn will hamper the growth of the global automotive automatic transmission market during the forecast period.
This automotive automatic transmission (AT) market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
