Automotive Supercharger Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type ( Twin Screw, Centrifugal, Roots ), By Fuel Type ( Gasoline , Diesel ), By Vehicle Type ( Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles ) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Industry Overview:

Automotive supercharger is basically an air compressor which is incorporated into the engine assembly. This system increases the pressure or density by drawing in the atmospheric air, compresses it and sends the compressed air into the internal combustion engine of a vehicle. This high-pressure air mixes with the fuel in the engine, causing high-temperature combustion. This leads to the high production of various gases and heat. The energy generated by the engine increases the fuel efficiency at a significant level. The government has established strict norms regarding regular replacement of engine and its efficiency in order to control the degradation of the environment as well as enhance the fuel economy. The superchargers are mostly incorporated in high performance and luxury cars. The increase in engine output power and easy installation, operation and maintenance of the engine assembly are some of the significant factors leading to the increasing popularity of automotive superchargers. Adding a supercharger to a vehicle engine is one of the fastest solutions to enhance the engine output.

Market Segmentation:

Globally, the automotive supercharger market is segmented by type, by fuel type, by vehicle type, and by geographic coverage. On the basis of type, the global automotive supercharger market is further divided into twin-screw, centrifugal, and roots. It is subdivided according to the technique that the supercharger uses to deliver air to the engine's intake manifold. The centrifugal type segment accounts for the major share in the global market owing to its wide usage in the market. As compared with the other two types, the centrifugal type superchargers have various advantageous features such as light weight, small size, high output delivery efficiency. Thus, these factors are likely to contribute a large market share in the coming years. The fuel type is further bifurcated into gasoline engine, and diesel engine. The supercharger speeds up the vehicle when the vehicle starts to accelerate. Superchargers are mostly used in gasoline fuel engines as these engines produce less exhaust gas as compared to the diesel fuel engines. Moreover, the additional measures taken by the governments to reduce the problem of air pollution, the demand for diesel engine vehicles is expected to fall gradually. Correspondingly, this is expected to promote the growth of gasoline vehicle production, thereby further boosting the automotive supercharger market for gasoline engine vehicles. The vehicle type is further divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger cars segment accounts for the major share in the global market owing to the rapid growth in the sales and production of passenger cars. Also, the rise in the disposable income of people has encouraged them to own private cars which has subsequently propelled the passenger car segment.

Regional Analysis:

Geographically, the automotive supercharger market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the rest of the world. North America is the dominating region in the global market in terms of revenue share owing to the rising production of gasoline engine vehicles as well as various regulations imposed by the government in order to reduce the growing air pollution and enhance fuel efficiency in this region. Also, the increasing demand for luxury cars and SUVs is leading to greater demand for superchargers in the region. Asia Pacific holds the second largest share in the global market owing to the rapid expansion of the automotive industry especially in developing economies such as China, and India. In addition, the government has formulated strict environmental regulations to curb the vehicular emissions, which is likely to further promote the growth of the supercharger market. For example, in 2016, the Indian government upgraded the emission norm from BS-IV to BS-VI owed to which the automotive manufactures have been mandated to adopt BS-VI emission norm and develop energy-saving technologies, such as supercharger systems and deploy them in their new vehicle models.
