Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What is an automotive shift-by-wire system?

Shift-by-wire systems are gear shift systems in which the transmission modes are changed in a vehicle through electronic controls without any mechanical linkage between the gear shifting lever and the transmission. SBW systems are used in different types of automatic transmission vehicles and their subcategories, such as continuously variable transmission (CVT), dual-clutch transmission (DCT), and automatic manual transmission (AMT). With this technology, electromechanical signals connect the gearbox with the gear selector. When the driver selects the propulsion direction, the signal is wirelessly transmitted to a gearbox receiver.

Market Drivers:

• Expected recovery in vehicle production in the coming years.
• Growing penetration of automatic transmission vehicles in the overall vehicle production.
• Emergence of electric vehicles.
• Significant weight reduction, along with an improvement in fuel economy with SBW systems 

Segment Analysis

By Powertrain Type

"The combustion vehicle segment accounted for the largest market share."

• Our analysis on another market segmentation, which is based on the powertrain type, suggests that combustion vehicles is forecasted to remain the largest consumer of shift-by-wire systems in the near future. On the contrary, electric vehicles are likely to exhibit faster growth during the same period. Various prominent EV models, such as Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, Toyota Pirus, and Audi e-tron, are equipped with SBW systems.

By Vehicle Type

"The SUV segment accounted for the largest market share."

• Stratview has first segmented the market based on the vehicle type as hatchback, sedan, SUV, and others. SUVs are expected to remain the largest market segment in the years to come, propelled by the trend of the shift from sedans and hatchbacks towards SUVs. 
• Spacious interiors and a comfortable and satisfying driving experience have generated a sheer interest in SUVs among consumers. Further, there is also a slightly higher penetration of shift-by-wires in SUVs over other vehicle types.
