Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst type, the planetary segment held a significant share of the market in 2021.”

Based on type, the market is segmented into hydrostatic, belt-chain drive, planetary, toroidal, cone, and others. Amongst these, the planetary segment of the Automotive Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Market has a significant share of the market because it is a cost-effective and efficient solution for vehicle manufacturers. The planetary CVT system has fewer moving parts compared to other types of CVT systems, which reduces the overall weight of the system and improves its efficiency. Additionally, the use of a planetary gear set in a planetary CVT provides a smooth and constant transmission ratio, which provides a smooth and comfortable driving experience for the driver.

“Amongst vehicle type, the heavy commercial vehicle held significant growth of the market in 2021.”

By vehicle type, the market is segmented into passenger vehicle, light commercial vehicle, and heavy commercial vehicle. Among these, the heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) segment of the Automotive Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Market held significant growth in recent years due to several factors. Firstly, the increasing demand for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles in the HCV segment has driven the adoption of CVT systems. CVT systems provide better fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared to traditional manual or automatic transmissions, making them an attractive option for HCV manufacturers. Secondly, the use of CVT systems in HCVs can improve the driving experience for the driver. CVTs provide smooth and constant acceleration, which can reduce driver fatigue and improve vehicle stability on long-haul trips.

“Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period”

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period for the Automotive Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Market due to several factors Firstly, the increasing demand for vehicles in the region, particularly in countries such as China and India, has driven the adoption of CVT systems in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The growing middle class in these countries has increased disposable income, leading to an increase in demand for vehicles. Secondly, the increasing focus on fuel efficiency and low emissions in the region has led to the adoption of CVT systems in vehicles. CVTs provide better fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared to traditional manual or automatic transmissions, making them an attractive option for vehicle manufacturers in the region. Thirdly, the government in the region has implemented various policies and incentives to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles, which use CVT systems. For example, the Chinese government has set a target of achieving 20% electric vehicle sales by 2025, which is expected to drive the adoption of CVT systems in EVs. Finally, the advancements in materials and manufacturing processes have led to the development of lighter and more durable CVT components, which has made CVT systems more suitable for use in vehicles in the region. This has reduced the weight of the vehicle and improved its fuel efficiency.
