The automotive drivetrain is not a solitary part of any vehicle, it's a group of drivetrain parts that interact with the engine to move the wheels and numerous parts of the vehicle to push it into motion. These components consist of axles, transmission, differential, CV joints, driveshaft, and wheels. The power generated by the engine moves through the drivetrain to the wheels where they bolt to the wheel hub and rotate around the axles. For the wheels to turn and propel the car forward, the vehicle needs to have friction provided by the tires in direct and constant contact with the ground. With the recent advancements in tires as well as drivetrains, the demand for automotive drivetrains is on the rise amongst automotive manufacturers, which in turn, is expected to create massive revenue generation opportunities for the key players operating in the global automotive drivetrain market during the forecast period. For instance, a reduction of about 8% can be achieved in fuel consumption with green tires featuring the silica/silane system.

Global Automotive Drivetrain Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Domination of Internal Combustion Engine Powertrain – which makes it mandatory to ensure that the optimized drivetrain configuration is robust to different driving conditions as the drivetrain and shifting control strategy has an important role in the carbon monoxide CO, nitrogen oxide NOx, and hydrocarbons HC generated by the internal combustion engine (ICE). For Instance, out of 278 million vehicles registered in the United States in 2018, nearly 94% had a gasoline powertrain while ~3.5% had a diesel powertrain.
  • Rising Demand for Lightweight Components – as using high-efficiency engines and lightweight components enabled by advanced materials in at least ~25% of fleets in United States could save over 5 billion gallons of fuel annually by 2030.
  • Upsurge in the Demand for Luxury Cars – For instance, the share of new vehicles sold by luxury brands in United States was ~17% in June 2022.
  • Increasing Emissions Caused by the Transport Sector – where road transport accounts for ~25% of transport emissions, and ~15% of total CO2 emissions.
  • Growing Demand for Vehicles with Automatic Transmission - according to the statistics, ~ 96% of Americans drive automatics in 2022.

Challenges

  • Volatility in Material Cost
  • Requires Huge Investment
  • High Cost of Various Components Required for a Drivetrain
