Report Summary

The global automotive powertrain systems market was valued at USD 530 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.

The automotive powertrain system generates and transmits power to the road, and enables movement of vehicles. The automotive powertrain system includes the engine, transmission, the driveshaft, differentials, and axles, which are mechanical components required to propel vehicles. The engine is a major component of the automotive powertrain system. The engine produces power and torque through controlled explosions in the cylinders, which forces pistons to move, causing the crankshaft to rotate quickly. The transmission is responsible for translating the rotation of engine into usable force. Market players are increasingly developing advanced powertrain systems to improve efficiency, improve functionality, reduce weight and cost owing to increasing regulations regarding vehicular emissions and fuel efficiency.

The growing automotive industry, and increasing demand for automatic transmissions drive the growth of the Automotive Powertrain Systems market. The introduction of government regulations regarding carbon emissions and fuel efficiency increases the demand for automotive powertrain systems across the globe. The rising popularity of downsized engines, and increasing demand for passenger cars from emerging economies has accelerated the adoption of automotive powertrain systems. The growing demand for electric vehicles further boosts the growth of the automotive powertrain systems market. The increasing awareness regarding eco-friendly powertrain system, and technological advancements also increase the demand of automotive powertrain systems.
