Automotive Torque Converter 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 globalization of the auto industry to increase the demand for automatic transmission vehicles in APAC is notably driving the automotive torque converter market growth, although factors such as preference for cars with manual transmissions in the European economies 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 torque converter industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Torque Converter Market Driver
The globalization of the auto industry to increase the demand for automatic transmission vehicles in APAC is one of the key drivers supporting the automotive torque converter market growth. Asian countries are the major producers of raw materials such as rubber and bullion materials, with a well-established supply chain network. Additionally, this region is considered one of the largest pools of experienced talent for the automotive industry. The region also has cost-effective operational structures, which increases the profit margins for OEMs. Due to these advantages, OEMs are incorporating advanced technologies, including CVTs and torque converters, into their vehicles. Thus, the globalization of the auto industry is expected to increase the demand for automatic transmission vehicles, which will fuel the growth of the global automotive torque converter market during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Torque Converter Market Trend
An increasing number of gears covering wider ratios for higher power and torque performance is one of the key automotive torque converter market trends fueling the market growth. For instance, the new 9G Tronic of Mercedes-Benz is the first gearbox for rear-wheel-drive vehicles with a torque converter. The engineers at Mercedes-Benz have focused primarily on the ease of gearshifts. They have focused on making the gearbox compact and lightweight, despite using two additional gears and a transmission system that is capable of delivering a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm. The engineers have also used a minimum number of planetary gear sets and shift elements for the system of nine gears. Thus, the growth of the powertrain technology has attracted consumers and OEMs that operate in the automatic transmission space, and this trend is expected to exert a positive impact on the global automotive torque converter market during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Torque Converter Market Challenge
The preference for cars with manual transmissions in the European economies is one of the limitations hampering the automotive torque converter market growth. The vehicles sold in the western European economies are expensive as compared to the ones sold in the North American and APAC countries because of the high taxes and insurance amounts. This increases the vehicle cost by 20-30% as compared to the same vehicle sold in other developed nations. Additionally, drivers need to have a separate license to drive automatic vehicles. The issues related to costs and high fuel prices restrict the market for automatic transmissions in Europe. In most cases, the adoption of automatic transmissions is limited to luxury and premium vehicles in the EU markets. All these factors are expected to hinder the growth of the global automotive torque converter market during the forecast period.
