South and Central America Dual Clutch Transmission Market Growth and Recent Trends by 2028

The South and Central America dual clutch transmission market is expected to reach US$ 484.87 million by 2028 from an estimated value of US$ 304.71 million in 2021; it is likely to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028.

The demand for dual clutch transmission is increasing at a prime rate for SUVs. The rising demand for SUVs globally is boosting the growth of the dual clutch transmission market. The popularity of SUVs continues to grow in almost every market in the world. As the global marketplace declines following trade tensions and a slowdown in the Chinese market, car manufacturers look for new ways to expand their market. The shifting interest of customers from sedans or hatchbacks to SUVs started around seven years ago and is still growing strong. The increasing preference of consumers for SUVs is forcing vehicle manufacturers to focus on integrating advanced dual clutch transmission in vehicles. This corresponds with a drop in consumer spending capabilities. General Motors (GM) kept the lead but squandered market share to Toyota, Nissan, Ford, and Honda. FCA, the second-largest SUV manufacturer, overtook shares, owing to the new Jeep Wrangler and Compass. VW Group, Hyundai-Kia, Mazda, Subaru, and BMW Group were among the other major SUV market shareholders. Furthermore, advanced techniques such as dual clutch transmission systems are used by automotive OEMs to minimize fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while preserving performance. Hence, the increasing concern about fuel economy and CO2 emission will propel market growth.

Brazil recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases in South and Central America, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina. The governments in South America (SAM) have taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and contain COVID-19’s spread. It is anticipated that South America will face lower export revenues, both from the drop in commodity prices and reduction in export volumes, especially to China, Europe, and the US, which are important trade partners. Containment measures in several countries of South America have impacted the manufacturing industry, including automotive manufacturing. Major automotive manufacturers have also temporarily closed their production process in the region, owing to cost control measures because of the pandemic.

Further, due to the non-availability of raw materials and supply chain disruption, the dual clutch transmission market had been negatively affected in 2020. In 2021, with the relaxation of lockdown measures and the beginning of the vaccination process, the shipment of raw materials needed for dual clutch transmission manufacturing and the manufacturing of passenger vehicles & commercial vehicles has started again. This will create a positive impact on the growth of the dual clutch transmission market in the region.
