Continuously Variable Transmissions Systems Market Demand, Profit, Price and Manufacturing Cost Analysis Up to 2022

on

The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is expected to witness high growth in the forecasted period owing to the increasing demand of automatic transmission. CVT is a belt driven transmission technology that has continuous range of infinite effective gear ratios unlike the mechanical transmission that has a finite number of gear ratios. Its design offers more than 85% of transmission efficiency, which is less than the manual transmission but due to its low production cost and automatic smooth transition of engine speed its market is expected to show high growth rate by 2022. The main reason of its low production cost is due to the absence of clutch which acts as an important integral part in manual transmission. CVT basically has two variable diameter pulleys, where each is shaped like a pair of opposite cones joined together with a metal belt or chain running between them.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is expected to see high growth by 2022 due to its application in newer hybrid cars such as Highlander, Toyota Prius, Camry, Ford Escape, and Nissan Altima. These CVT are distinguished as Power sharing transmissions (PSTs) and are fundamentally different from traditional CVTs. The main drivers that propel the market are consumer demand for better fuel economy, more power, and a smooth driving experience as compared to other automatic transmission system. Other drivers that help in boosting the market are growing environmental concerns, need of reducing carbon emissions, and low transmission losses resulted in better engine efficiency.


Some drivers that fuel the demand of CVT market are dependent on its advantages such as comfortable ride by eliminating “shift shock”, eliminating energy losses, and constant acceleration throughout the engine optimum operating range. The main restraints that may hinder the growth of CVT market are dependent of its disadvantages such as unsuitable for use in off road environments, and absence of engine braking. The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) System market is segmented by CVT type into Variable diameter pulley (VDP), Toroidal or Roller based, Magnetic, Infinitely variable transmission, Ratcheting, Hydrostatic, and Naudic incremental (iCVT). Out of these VDP type, Hydrostatic type and iCVT type are most common and frequently used CVTs in the market due to its ease of use, high frictional losses, better anti shock properties, high durability, better torque transfer ability and high reliability.
The market is also segmented by applications in Automobile industry, Aerospace Industry and Petrochemical industry. In Automobile industry they are used in commercial vehicles as well as in passenger vehicles. Under commercial vehicles they are used in small tractors, trucks, buses and Utility vehicles. On the other hand, under passenger vehicles they are used in two wheelers, three wheelers, and four wheelers. In Aerospace industry, CVTs are used in aircraft electrical power generating systems which in turn help in increasing performance and engine efficiency. In petrochemical industry, they are used in drilling machines and milling machines which are used to extract crude oil.
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) System market segmentation by regions in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Owing to the increasing government regulation over emissions and fuel efficiency, the North American and the European region are expected to see high penetration of continuously variable transmission which would result in high growth of the market. The regions would see the increase in demand not only due to stringent laws but also due to the increasing consumer preference over automatic transmission against manual transmission. Particularly the USA is expected to witness highest growth in the forecasted period as because of increasing production level of hybrid cars in commercial as well as in passenger segment.
The Asia Pacific region which includes India, China, Japan, Russia, Malaysia and South Korea is expected to see the fast growing demand in the forecasted period owing to the increasing demand of improved fuel economy vehicles and low emission vehicles. The rising number of manufactures in emerging markets has resulted in high production of vehicles which in turn has led to high pollution, thus enabling the market to forecast high growth. The changing customer preference from manual transmission to automatic transmission is also expected to fuel the growth of CVT market.
The major players in the continuously variable automatic transmission are JATCO Ltd (Japan), Getrag (Germanay), Magna Powertrain (Canada), Borg Warner (US), Allison Transmission (US), and Continental AG (Germany). They are suppliers to major automobile companies such as Hyundai Motor Company, Jaguar Cars, Ford Motors, Daimler Chrysler, Renault Motors, Tata Motors, Audi Motors, Mitsubishi Motors, and Maruti Suzuki.
