Turbocharger Market Size, Share & Forecast (2016-2021)

Turbocharger Market Insights

The global turbocharger market in the transportation industry offers a robust growth opportunity and is likely to witness a double digit growth of 10.8% (CAGR) during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. Growing vehicle production coupled with the requirement for automakers to meet global environment emission and fuel efficiency regulations are the prime drivers of the turbocharger market. Increasing penetration / installation rates of turbochargers in the gasoline engine powered vehicles is the driving force of the market during the forecast period.

The fuel efficiency and environment emission regulations in many developed and developing countries are putting pressure on automakers to either reduce the vehicle weight or downsize the engine to achieve the targets. The Automakers are downsizing engines to satisfy the stringent global fuel economy and emission regulations and customer demand for better performing vehicles. Turbochargers help downsized engines improve fuel economy by 20% to 40% as compared to larger, naturally aspirated engines.

Turbocharger Market Share Analysis

Turbocharger Market Share by Technology Type

Variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), also known as variable nozzle turbine (VNT) is the most widely used turbocharger worldwide. VGT / VNT is more efficient than traditional wastegate turbochargers and will continue to gain market share during the forecast period. VGT / VNT is well suited both for diesel as well as gasoline powered engines.

Regional Insights

Asia-Pacific is likely to remain the largest market for turbochargers in the next five years, driven by demand in emerging economies, such as China and India. China is the world’s fastest growing automotive market and is projected to increase the turbocharger installation rates in its new vehicles from current 28% to 49% in the year 2021. This will lead to almost twofold increase in the demand of turbochargers in China in a span of five years.

North America is another growing market for turbochargers, driven by the demand for light weighting and engine downsizing in new vehicles to meet the CAFÉ standards. European turbochargers market is likely to witness a modest growth in the next five years. This region owns the world’s largest turbo diesel fleet and the highest turbocharger installation rates worldwide.

Most of the major turbocharger manufacturers have already set up their manufacturing plants in China to tap the regional growth potential. India, Japan, and South Korea have also joined the row and are projected to increase installation rates of turbochargers in the new vehicles. Apart from China, significant demand of turbochargers is expected to be generated from these countries in the next five years.
