All-wheel drive is a system that sends power to all the wheels of a vehicle. It can work all the time or only when needed. This system is commonly used in cars like sedans, wagons, SUVs, and larger SUVs. The market for all-wheel drive is growing because people want more stability when driving, especially in SUVs. However, it can be a bit expensive, and there are concerns about how it affects fuel efficiency and standardizing components. Still, there's a rising interest in automatic all-wheel drive and electric vehicles, providing new opportunities.
Around the world, the all-wheel drive market is expected to grow by about 7.83% every year from 2017 to 2023. In 2017, North America led the market with a 35% share, followed by Europe with 33.0% and Asia-Pacific with 26.0%.
The market is divided into different types based on how the system works, the source of power, types of vehicles, and where it's used. Manual all-wheel drive, which lets the driver control it, held the largest share in 2017. Vehicles with internal combustion engines (like traditional cars) dominated the market, especially passenger cars. On-road applications, where the system is used for regular driving, were more common than off-road.
So, to sum it up, the all-wheel drive system, which distributes power to all the wheels of a vehicle, is becoming more popular, especially in SUVs. People like it because it provides stability and better driving dynamics. However, there are concerns about the cost of the system and its impact on fuel efficiency.
The global market for all-wheel drive is expected to grow by about 7.83% each year from 2017 to 2023. In 2017, North America was leading this market, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The different types of all-wheel drive systems include manual, where the driver has control, and there's a growing interest in automatic systems. Most of these systems are used in vehicles with internal combustion engines, like traditional cars. Passenger cars are the most common type of vehicle using all-wheel drive, and it's primarily applied for on-road driving.
Looking ahead, there's potential for growth, especially with the increasing demand for automatic all-wheel drive systems and the rising interest in electric vehicles. This means we might see more cars with all-wheel drive on the road in the coming years.
