Overview of the global motorcycle clutch market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global motorcycle clutch market will grow steadily during the next four years and in term of units, will post a CAGR of more than 7% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the technological advances in clutch manufacturing as one of the primary growth factors for this market. It has been observed that the cost of labor constitutes for about 21% of the total cost of manufacturing automobiles. With the increasing labor costs, clutch manufacturers will start adopting universal CNC machines, that are flexible and faster in production and increases the throughput in the production without any increase in labor costs. Since manufacturers will now be able to decrease labor costs and improve the volume of production, the adoption of such technological advances will subsequently increase the sales of motorcycle clutches in the coming years.

One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the global motorcycle clutch market in the coming years is the growth of the slipper clutch market. Though the market for slipper clutch is currently in its growth stages, the focus of premium motorcycle manufacturers to improve the performance of lower displacement vehicles by implementing slipper clutch, will fuel the demand for slipper clutch in the coming years. Since slipper clutches cost more than the normal multi-plate clutch, this rise in their demand will significantly increase the market value of the motorcycle clutch market.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

Though the market has a limited number of well-established players, it is highly competitive. The growth of the vendors in the market is highly dependent on the growth of the motorcycle market. Due to the increasing raw material prices, the vendors have the need to invest in technological innovations in manufacturing process such as the installation of universal CNC machines to produce motorcycle clutches in batches. Additionally, since the entry barriers to the motorcycle clutch market are very less, the coming years will witness an increase in the number of small and medium scale vendors, which will in turn, intensify the market’s competitive environment.
