Dublin, Oct. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Turbocharger Market (by Engine Type, Technology, Distribution Channel, Vertical, & Region): Insights and Forecast with Potential Impact of COVID-19 (2022-2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global turbocharger market is on track to reach a value of US$18.67 billion by 2023, exhibiting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.90% over the forecast period from 2022 to 2027.
A turbocharger is a vital engine component installed in vehicles to enhance both economy and performance. It operates by compressing air to improve the efficiency of combustion engines, resulting in increased power and fuel efficiency.
The market's growth is primarily attributed to the adoption of engine-downsizing strategies by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to enhance vehicle fuel economy, driven by stringent global automotive pollution standards. Turbochargers play a pivotal role in reducing vehicle emissions and improving fuel efficiency, making them a crucial component in the automotive industry's quest for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions.
Segment Coverage
- By Engine Type: The market report categorizes the global turbocharger market into three engine types: gasoline, diesel, and hybrid. Gasoline-powered vehicles currently dominate the market share, while hybrid vehicles are expected to experience significant growth due to their emphasis on emission reduction and improved engine economy.
- By Technology: Turbocharger technology is segmented into four categories: Variable geometry technology, twin turbo technology, wastegate technology, and others. Variable geometry technology is the leading segment, driven by global emissions regulations and the demand for downsized and down-speeded turbocharging systems in small and medium-sized vehicles.
- By Distribution Channel: Distribution channels include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket. OEMs hold a substantial market share, particularly as they adopt engine-downsizing strategies to maximize vehicle fuel efficiency, which aligns with increasingly stringent emission standards worldwide.
- By Vertical: Vertical segments encompass aerospace & defense, automotive, marine, and agriculture & construction. The aerospace & defense sector is the largest contributor to the market, with aviation turbochargers increasing intake gas density to boost power output. Factors such as growing air passenger traffic, the demand for fuel-efficient and downsized engines, and increased investments in defense aircraft drive the aircraft and defense turbocharger market.
Geographic Coverage
The global turbocharger market is divided into four key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA). North America includes the US, Mexico, and Canada, while Europe comprises the UK, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe.
The Asia Pacific region encompasses China, Japan, India, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific currently commands the highest market share due to rising per capita income and stringent government regulations. In North America, the US leads the market, driven by increased awareness of technology and emission regulations. Germany dominates the European market, mainly due to stringent pollution control regulations and emissions restrictions.
Top Impacting Factors
