Global Continuously Variable Transmission Market for Two-Wheelers 2016-2020

Overview of the global CVT market for two-wheelers

The global CVT market for two-wheelers is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of close to 11% during the forecast period. Factors such as the growing traffic congestion on roads across the globe will drive the growth prospects for the global CVT market for two-wheelers during the forecast period. In countries, such as India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, the challenge of increased traffic congestion on roads is an inescapable condition. Various factors such as the rapid urbanization, an increase in the number of vehicles, and the rise in the household income result in an increase in traffic congestion. Also, the increasing traffic affects the business sectors by increasing the travel time and lowering the rate of mobility. In addition, traffic congestion leads to increased air pollution due to the emission of harmful gasses such as mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx). These factors compel the consumers to shift from four-wheelers to two-wheelers as it improves personal mobility, reduces travel time, and decreases traffic congestion. Consequently, most consumers are increasingly adopting CVT-equipped vehicles instead of gear equipped vehicles, which provides enhanced personal mobility and better riding quality.

The increasing popularity of moto scooters will propel the growth prospects for the global CVT market until the end of 2020. In general, the moto scooters have the attributes of both scooters as well as motorcycles. For instance, Navi is a moto scooter that is comparatively light in weight, has an improved power-to-weight ratio, contemporary appearance, and the price is much lower than its peers. Such advanced features of the moto scooters in the market will boost its demand among the consumers.
