Clutch Market: Growth Factors

A mechanical device that connects the driving shaft to the shaft that is driven to start or stop the driven shaft according to the driver without stopping the driving shaft is called a clutch. The clutch provides an uninterrupted connection between the two rotating shafts.

The growing innovation within the automotive industry has led to significant growth in the clutch market for automotive globally. A clutch allows a smooth start, facilitates shaft, prevents transmission overload, and decreases the impact of torsional vibrations. Stringent carbon emission norms and a need for fuel-efficient vehicles are contributing significantly toward the growth of the clutch market for automotive globally. Moreover, technological advancements with the dual clutch transmission technology are also anticipated to drive the global clutch market for automotive. The availability of low-priced manual transmission clutches in comparison to torque converters with automated transmission feature is further predicted to fuel this global market.

Furthermore, consumer preference for extra convenient modes of transmission with a growing call for passenger motors in developing economies is predicted to further spur the market over the forecast time period. However, increasing penetration of automatic transmission vehicles may hinder the clutch market for automotive.
