Dual Clutch Transmission Global Market Report 2024

The dual clutch transmission market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29 billion in 2023 to $31.12 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to factors such as improvements in performance, regulatory requirements for fuel efficiency, the surge in automated manual transmissions, heightened preference in premium vehicles, and the growing consumer demand for automatic transmissions.

The dual clutch transmission market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $40 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the integration of hybrid and electric vehicles, the worldwide demand for fuel efficiency, urbanization and traffic challenges, market expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, and advancements in transmission materials. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technologies for autonomous driving, progress in transmission technology, designs emphasizing compactness and lightweight characteristics, improved durability and reliability, and heightened integration with hybrid systems.

The anticipated growth in the dual-clutch transmission market is expected to be driven by the rising demand for luxury vehicles. Luxury vehicles, characterized by high-quality interiors and exclusive features, benefit from dual-clutch transmissions, providing swift and efficient gear shifts along with enhanced fuel efficiency. For instance, in April 2022, Tesla Inc., a US-based automotive company, reported delivering 310,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022, marking a substantial 68% increase compared to 2021's production of 185,000 vehicles. Consequently, the increasing demand for luxury vehicles is a key factor propelling the growth of the dual-clutch transmission market.

The significant driver for the dual-clutch transmission market is the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles, which rely on electric power as their primary propulsion source, often utilize dual-clutch transmissions for their efficiency. The surge in electric and hybrid vehicle adoption contributes to the demand for dual-clutch transmissions, aligning with the increasing popularity of alternative propulsion systems. As of July 2023, the International Energy Agency reported a remarkable expansion in the electric car market, with sales surpassing 10 million in 2022. The global market share for electric cars tripled over three years, reaching 14% in 2022 from 4% in 2020. Notably, electric vehicle sales in China, Europe, and the United States have shown substantial growth. Hence, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) significantly drives the growth of the dual-clutch transmission market.


The dual-clutch transmission market is witnessing a notable trend of product innovation, with major companies in the sector actively developing innovative solutions to maintain their market positions. For instance, in March 2022, Punch Powertrain, a Belgium-based auto parts manufacturing company, introduced its innovative dual-clutch transmission (DCT) system, DT11. This system not only demonstrated reliable performance but also offered enhanced driving comfort, even in challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures, high altitudes, and challenging driving scenarios such as uneven roads and stop-and-go traffic.

Major players in the dual-clutch transmission market are engaging in strategic partnerships to foster product development and strengthen their market presence. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits and success. As an example, in September 2022, Stellantis N.V., a Netherlands-based automotive manufacturing company, collaborated with Punch Powertrain, a Belgium-based dual-clutch transmission manufacturer, to increase the production of electrified dual-clutch transmissions. This partnership aims to incorporate electrified dual-clutch transmission technology into Stellantis hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The collaboration's expansion includes the addition of another site at the Mirafiori Complex in Italy, broadening the scope of their strategic partnership in the electrification domain.

In June 2021, BorgWarner, a US-based automotive supplier company, joined forces with Hyundai Motor Group to develop a hybrid vehicle range that demands high-quality gearboxes and integrated power electronics to achieve optimal fuel efficiency and emission control. Hyundai Motor Group, a South Korea-based manufacturer and distributor of motor vehicles and parts, including dual-clutch transmissions, is part of this collaborative effort with BorgWarner.
