All Wheel Drive Market

The global all wheel drive market size is projected to reach USD  53.8 billion by 2027, from an estimated value of USD  35.9 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 8.4%. The base year for the report is 2022, and the forecast period is from 2022 to 2027.

The AWD system finds its significant applications in the premium car segment and SUVs. Improvement in economic conditions, increasing industrialization, and improving living standards of the consumers around the world has increased the demand of premium segment cars and SUVs. Stringent safety regulations in the regions such as Europe and North America have attracted consumers to AWD and 4WD systems, as these systems offer better traction control and stability to the automobile. SUVs have AWD or 4WD systems installed in most of their variants. In the early 2000s, the sale of SUVs was surpassed by sedan series vehicles. In the age of compact and fuel-efficient cars, the demand for SUVs is growing, given the development of fuel-efficient AWD & 4WD systems. The introduction of new compact SUVs, which not only come with sporty features but also are convenient in traffic as well as off-road terrain, has given a boost to the SUV market. Looking at the gradually increasing per capita income, improving infrastructure, and changing buyer preference toward multi-utility vehicles (MUVs), the demand for vehicles from this segment is projected to grow in the near future. Following this demand-led growth, key OEMs have shifted focus on the development of customer-centric SUVs, compact SUVs or MUV models. These factors would consequently influence the market for multi-wheel drive systems.
