Automotive Differential Market

The automotive differential market is projected to reach USD 23.7 billion by 2027 from USD 20.0 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 3.5%. The automotive differential market is primarily driven by increasing demand for the vehicles (PCs, LCVs, and HCVs). Further, rising demand for premium cars has significantly created the demand for AWD/4WD drive system vehicle results in increasing demand for automotive differential.

Countries such as the US, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, and South Korea lead the premium car market, constituting more than 90% of total production globally. For instance, in 2021, the production of luxury SUVs in the US out of total luxury cars was around 75%. Further, rising stringency in vehicular emissions and fuel economy parameters has led manufacturers to develop technologically advanced differential such as light weight differential. Rising growth of electric and PHEV vehicles is also expected to create the lucrative opportunity for differential manufacturers.
