Global Two-Wheeler Transmission System Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global two-wheeler transmission system market

Technavio’s market research report predicts that the global two-wheeler transmission system market will grow steadily during the next four years and in terms of units, will post a CAGR of more than 7% by 2021. The increasing use of dual clutch transmission will be one of the primary drivers for market growth. The dual clutch transmission in motorcycles is widely gaining popularity and APAC accounted for a share of more than 20% in 2015. APAC, Western Europe, and North America collectively accounted for a share of almost 85% in 2015. With the increasing use of motorcycles, Asia is the key region to the motorcycle clutch market. With huge investments to enhance the safety and comfort of their vehicles, the manufacturers have already started integrating dual clutch transmissions in low-displacement motorcycles as well. This will increase the production of dual-clutch transmissions and will subsequently fuel the growth of the two-wheeler transmission system market.

The development of hybrid motorcycles with semi-automatic transmissions is one of the major trends that will gain traction in the two-wheeler transmission system market. The high-performance electric motorcycle segment will witness an increase in the adoption of direct drive and will result in the increased implementation of automatic transmissions. For instance, the patent filed by Suzuki shows a hybrid powertrain consisting of an inline-four ICE and an electric motor. The electric motor is capable of powering in both the hybrid and fully electric mode and can be controlled through a switch mounted on the handlebar. It is the first motorcycle that can operate in three different modes: electric, electric assist, and full gasoline. Additionally, semi-automatic transmissions also allow riders to change gears without operating the clutch. These developments will have benefits such as low emission levels and increased fuel efficiency. The commercialization of this concept is will increase the demand for semi-automatic motorcycles.
