The automotive drivetrain is a mechanical system within a vehicle that links the vehicle's transmission to the drive axles. This system is responsible for transferring the rotational power generated by the vehicle's engine to the wheels, enabling the vehicle to move.
The primary vehicle types associated with automotive drivetrains include passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCV), heavy commercial vehicles (HCV), and electric vehicles. Passenger cars are designed for the transportation of passengers, accommodating up to nine people, including the driver. Automotive drivetrains are essential components in passenger cars. Various drive types, such as front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive, utilize different technologies like central motor, e-axle, and wheel hub module. Additionally, there are several transmission types, including manual transmission, automatic transmission, continuous variable transmission, automated manual transmission, and dual-clutch transmission.

The automotive drivetrain market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $221. 58 billion in 2023 to $239. 16 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7. 9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the early stages of automobile development, marked by the transition from horse-drawn to motorized vehicles. This period was characterized by the industrialization of automotive manufacturing and the introduction of four-wheel drive systems, showcasing the evolution of transmission technologies.
The automotive drivetrain market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $324. 38 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7. 9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the electrification of vehicles, the integration of advanced sensors in drivetrains, the use of lightweight and high-efficiency materials, advancements in autonomous vehicle development, and the continued emphasis on fuel efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of hybrid and electric drivetrains, the implementation of intelligent and adaptive drivetrain systems, the development of modular drivetrain designs, the integration of predictive maintenance technologies, and the focus on all-wheel drive (AWD) systems for performance vehicles.
The burgeoning adoption of electric vehicles stands as a key driver propelling the automotive drivetrain market's growth trajectory. Electric vehicles, either partially or fully powered by electricity, contribute to heightened demand for automotive drivetrains. These electric drivetrains, characterized by a single-speed transmission channeling power from the motor to the wheels, underscore the rising preference for efficient and eco-friendly mobility solutions. As reported by the World Economic Forum in October 2022, approximately 4. 3 million new battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) were sold globally in the first half of 2022. Notably, BEV sales soared by 75% year-on-year, while PHEVs witnessed a 37% growth. This surge in electric vehicle adoption signals a substantial uptick in demand for automotive drivetrains, marking a significant industry evolution.
The amplifying production within the automotive sector is slated to propel the automotive drivetrain market forward. The automotive manufacturing process, involving the assembly of components to craft vehicles, exerts a direct impact on the automotive drivetrain industry. Heightened automobile production necessitates a substantial volume of drivetrain components, creating a robust demand for automotive drivetrain products. As per reports by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, global motor vehicle production in 2022 reached an impressive 85. 4 million units, marking a substantial 5. 7% growth from the previous year, 2021. Moreover, projections from the National Automobile Dealers Association anticipate North American light vehicle production to escalate from 14. 2 million units in 2022 to 15. 4 million units in 2023, attributed to gradual enhancements in the supply chain. This escalating automotive production landscape notably drives the automotive drivetrain market's expansion.
Technological innovation emerges as a pivotal trend shaping the automotive drivetrain market's dynamics. Companies operating within this sector prioritize technological advancements to fortify their market standing. For instance, in May 2022, Amsted Automotive, a leading US-based motor vehicle manufacturing company, unveiled the Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC), an Electro-Mechanical E-axle Disconnect system. This innovative technology ensures seamless all-wheel drive (AWD) and 4WD disconnection, facilitating swift and reliable shifts. The Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC) technology enables the driveline system to efficiently engage and disengage drive axles, conserving energy while upholding on-road and off-road capabilities, illustrating the industry's commitment to pioneering drivetrain solutions.
Major players within the automotive drivetrain market are actively engaged in forging partnerships and collaborations to drive innovation and consolidate their positions. Strategic collaborations involve cooperative efforts between multiple companies or organizations to achieve shared objectives. A prime example is the collaboration announced in April 2022 between BluE Nexus Corporation, a Japanese joint venture formed by Aisin and Denso, AISIN CORPORATION, and DENSO Corporation. Together, they developed an eAxle for Toyota's latest battery electric vehicle (BEV), the bZ4X. This eAxle, an electric driving module integrating a motor, inverter, and transaxle, has seen the joint development of three new models such as 150kW specification for Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles and 80kW specifications for both front and rear applications in 4WD vehicles. This partnership showcases concerted efforts toward innovative drivetrain solutions for next-generation electric vehicles.
In another strategic move, Cummins Inc., a prominent US-based company specializing in engines, filtration, and power generation products, made a significant acquisition in February 2022 by purchasing Meritor for $3. 7 billion.
