Covid-19 analysis

Covid 19 had a profound impact on every market and the automotive gear shift market is not an exception. The automobile industry as a whole had to deal with many problems. The most significant one was the fall in demand for vehicles owing to travel restrictions. With less production of vehicles, the automotive gear shift market also suffered a huge loss. 

The other setback was in the improper functioning of supply chains. This led to a decline in production rate and also in the estimated growth rate. However, the rise in demand for electric vehicles during the period brought a positive growth rate.  Moreover, the automotive gear shift industry is showing vigorous growth after the loosening of restrictions.

Market dynamics

Drivers

The automobile industry is an ever-growing industry. With a rise in demand for transportation and passenger vehicles, the Automotive gear shift market value is also increasing. The other major factor responsible for the market growth is advancements in automobile technology. The new and more efficient technologies within the gear shifting market such as electronic gear shift systems are also increasing the demand.

An improved gear shift system can increase the fuel economy of a vehicle. Therefore, to overcome rising air pollution levels and to save costs on rising fuel prices, advanced gear systems will play an important role. Moreover, the market demand is also being influenced by stringent government norms on the use of conventional vehicles with low fuel efficiency. The increased adoption rate of the electric vehicle is too causing growth in the automotive gear shift system market. 

Restraints

The high cost of raw materials and metal alloys needed for manufacturing gears and drives is the major growth hindering factor. Moreover, the repairing cost for an automatic gear shift system is exceptionally high and requires skilled labor too.  

Technology analysis

The Automotive gear shift system is a mechanism consisting of gears and drives to control the speed and torque of a vehicle. This system is available in both manual and automatic forms. The manual shifting system works on a clutch pedal mechanism where a driver himself has to do the shifting. Whereas the automatic shifting system relies upon fluid pressure to lock and unlock planetary gears to shift it into different gear ratios. Moreover, newer technologies such as electronic gear shift systems bring huge changes to the market. 

Automotive gear shift systems are very necessary for obtaining better control of a moving vehicle. Rapid technological advancements are bringing new methods and models to the gear shift system. Although manual transmission systems still occupy a large market share automatic systems are slowly seeping into the market. Newer technology such as wire gear system does effective transition between gears using electricity which can potentially replace the manual system in future. The automatic system offers several advantages such as reduced driving labor, high efficiency, and less use of space. On the other hand, the manual transmission system is cost-effective and their repairing is also very easy.
