A turbocharger is a type of forced induction system used to increase the power and efficiency of an internal combustion engine. It uses exhaust gases from the engine to spin a turbine, which then compresses the air entering the engine, increasing its power and efficiency. Major components of a turbocharger include a turbine wheel, compressor wheel, and shaft to connect the turbine and compressor.
The growth of the global commercial vehicle turbochargers market is mainly attributed to the growing demand for commercial vehicles, increasing vehicle production, and stringent emission norms. The increasing demand for commercial vehicles is mainly due to the ever-increasing demand for goods and other transportation-related services.
Moreover, the increasing demand for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles is a major factor driving the growth of the market. Governments globally are increasingly implementing stringent emission norms to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other harmful pollutants. This has led to the increased adoption of turbochargers in commercial vehicles to meet the emission norms. Global CO2 emissions are predicted to grow on average by 1.5%, annually, from 2020-2025. Emissions from Asian countries could increase by 2.3% over this period. Also, carbon emissions are returning to the 2019 level, after dropping by 5-6% during the pandemic, due to reduced industrial and transportation activities, across the globe.
Hence, the increased focus towards environmental sustainability is expected to drive the demand for commercial vehicle turbochargers market during the forecast period.
However, the factors such as increasing demand for electric vehicles, volatile raw material prices, and high cost of turbochargers are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
Some of the major trends in the global commercial vehicle turbochargers market includes adoption of turbocharged gasoline direct injection engines, and increasing use of variable geometry turbochargers (VGTs).
Increasing Use of Variable Geometry Turbochargers
There are mainly two turbochargers namely fixed geometry turbocharger (FGT) and VGT. A FGT is an automotive turbocharger design that uses a fixed compressor and turbine wheel geometry. Whereas VGT, also known as variable-nozzle turbines, is a system for internal combustion engines designed to allow the effective aspect ratio of the turbo to be changed as conditions change, allowing for better control of the trade-off between response time and maximum power output. It is used on many modern diesel engines, such as those in large light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty trucks, as well as modern passenger cars. By changing the aspect ratio of the turbocharger at different engine speeds, VGT provides improved engine response and performance, as well as better fuel economy and lower emissions.
