Automotive Clutch Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Transmission Type (Manual Transmission, Automatic Transmission, Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), Others), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicle, Commercial Vehicle), By Clutch Disk/Plate Size (Below 9 Inches, 9 Inches to 10 Inches, 10 Inches to 11 Inches, 11 Inches and Above) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A clutch is a motorised device that disconnects and connects the power transmission from one driving shaft to another driven shaft. The automotive clutch is an essential part of the automotive vehicle that is used for power transmission between two shafts. An automotive clutch provides disconnection and connection between the engine and manual transmission. Since the engine of an automobile rotates all the time during the movement of the vehicle, the wheel needs to be disconnected to offer a systematic balance between the non-spinning transmission to the spinning engine. Clutches are also used to disconnect the engine from the wheels.

The growth in urbanization and increase in demand for development in the automobiles industry is anticipated to propel the demand for an automotive clutch over the forecast period. The availability of torque converters with automatic transmission against cheap manual transmission clutches is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. Additionally, an increase in demand for passenger cars in emerging economies and customer attraction towards more convenient modes of transportation are expected to drive the market. The factors such as replacement of manual clutch by torque converter in automatic transmission systems and low fuel efficiency of vehicles equipped with automotive clutches are anticipated to hamper the growth of the market.

Market Segmentation:

The automotive clutch market t can be segmented by Transmission Type, by vehicle type, by clutch disk/plate size, and by region. Based on transmission type the market is sub-segmented into a manual transmission, automatic transmission, automated manual transmission (AMT) and others. The manual transmission segment is anticipated to account for the highest market share during the forecast period. Due to the cheap cost of manual transmission in automotive vehicles, there is a bulk usage and demand for manual transmission in the overall automotive sales, especially in the developing economies.

Based on vehicle type the market is sub-segmented into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. The market is anticipated to be dominated by the passenger vehicles segment during the forecast. This can be attributed due to the high demand and comparatively high production of passenger vehicles in the market. Based on Clutch Disc/Clutch Plate Size, the market is further sub-segmented into Below 9 Inches, 9 Inches to 10 Inches, 10 Inches to 11 Inches, 11 Inches and above. The 10 inches to 11 inches sub-segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. The rise in the demand for electric vehicles is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market.
