Turbocharger Market Overview

A turbo charger is a device used to increase volumetric efficiency and fuel burning efficiency of an engine. It utilizes energy of exhaust gases coming out from the engine and uses it in supplying compressed air to the engine. The turbo chargers were earlier installed mostly in commercial vehicles in industries, but now the utilization of turbochargers has also increased in the passenger vehicles for improvement in the fuel efficiency and reduction in emissions levels in the passenger vehicles. The market has been classified as vehicle type (passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles), by technology (twin turbo technology, wastegate technology and variable geometry technology), distribution channel (original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket).

Covid-19 Impact on Turbocharger Market

The Covid-19 impact on turbocharger market has been negative. During the pandemic period the reduction in utilization of automobiles, both passenger and commercial vehicles due to reduced mobility and imposed lockdown restrictions across the world has negatively impacted the of turbocharger market share.

During this pandemic period, businesses across the world are experiencing the need for digital management of their operations. The need for implementation of technologies such as industrial internet of things (IIOT) that will enable real-time monitoring of manufacturing process of turbochargers, is expected to have a positive impact on the on growth of turbocharger market during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Scope of Improving the Fuel Efficiency of the Vehicle is a Major Driving Factor That is Expected to Augment the Demand for Turbocharger Market

The basic advantage that a turbo charger provides is higher power output for the same size of engine with improved fuel efficiency. The growing demand for fuel efficient vehicles in both the major categories of passenger and commercial vehicles due to increasing prices of fuel and increasing adoption of vehicles with low emission levels is expected to aid the growth of turbochargers in the forecast period. In recent developments, for instance, in May 2021, BorgWarner Inc., an American multinational automotive supplier, entered into a global agreement to supply its advanced euro turbocharger to a major European OEM for using in a high-voltage hybrid car. BorgWarner's advanced electric charging technology offers significant advantages in terms of engine efficiency and performance and enables the automaker to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. These factors are expected to aid the turbocharger market growth in the forecast period.

The Reduction in Production of Vehicles Globally to Restrain the Market Growth.

The reduction in production of vehicles due to events such as the global pandemic of Covid-19 that led to decrease in utilization of vehicles across the world can hamper the growth of turbochargers market as the demand for the turbochargers is dependent on the usage of vehicles. In addition to this, lack of market standardization and regulatory measures in developing and undeveloped countries such as African nations can restrict the market growth in the forecast period

The Adoption of Electric Turbochargers in Developing Countries is Expected to Create Opportunities for Turbocharger Market

The increasing utilization of electric turbochargers is expected to provide new scope of opportunities for the market in the forecast period. The advantage of an electrically assisted turbocharger is that the electric motor can not only drive the turbocharger shaft, but also break it: the electric motor turns into a generator and generates electricity. In situations where there is too much power available to the turbocharger shaft, the electrically assisted turbocharger can generate useful power and therefore reduce a vehicle's fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, the electric motor is integrated into the turbocharger, making it a compact and easy-to-install solution. These are the positive turbocharger market trends that are expected to act as facilitators of the turbocharger market growth during the forecast period.
