Torque Vectoring Global Market Report 2024

The torque vectoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.17 billion in 2023 to $10.76 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as improved traction and stability, enhanced safety features, increased market competitiveness, consumer demand for advanced driving dynamics, and concerns related to environmental and fuel efficiency.

The torque vectoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.32 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the development of autonomous vehicles, the implementation of urban mobility solutions, adherence to regulatory compliance and safety standards, integration of cybersecurity measures, and the increasing popularity of rear-wheel torque vectoring. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of advanced sensor technologies for precise control, the use of AI-based torque vectoring algorithms, integration with vehicle stability control, customizable driver settings, and collaboration with tire manufacturers.

The upward trajectory of autonomous vehicles is anticipated to be a catalyst driving the expansion of the torque vectoring market. Autonomous vehicles, capable of operating independently without human intervention, rely on an array of sensors such as radar, lidar, and cameras to map their surroundings. Torque vectoring technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing the energy efficiency of these autonomous vehicles by mitigating power loss attributed to wheel slide and inefficiencies. Notably, insights from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in December 2022 projected a significant rise in autonomous vehicles on American roads, reaching an estimated 3.5 million by 2025 and further escalating to 4.5 million by 2030. Consequently, the burgeoning trend of autonomous vehicles fuels the growth of the torque vectoring market.

The escalation in fuel consumption serves as another driving force propelling the expansion of the torque vectoring market. Fuel consumption denotes the quantity of fuel utilized by a vehicle or machinery over a specific distance or time, often measured in units such as gallons, liters, or kilometers per liter. Torque vectoring systems play a pivotal role in augmenting fuel economy and performance by curbing power loss due to wheel slide and optimizing power delivery. For instance, as per the Energy Information Administration's findings in August 2022, an average of about 3.96 million b/d, equivalent to 166 million gallons, of distillate fuel oil was consumed in 2022, constituting 20% of the country's total petroleum consumption. Consequently, the escalating trend in fuel consumption significantly drives the growth of the torque vectoring market.

The implementation costs associated with torque vectoring, all-wheel drive (AWD), and four-wheel drive (4WD) systems pose a significant challenge that might impede the market's growth in the forecast period. These costs can limit the adoption of torque vectoring technology, especially in markets sensitive to pricing or among consumers mindful of budget constraints. The high expenses stem from the systems' complexity, requiring additional components and sophisticated control algorithms to function optimally. As indicated in 2023 by the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, the primary cost drivers are the intricate engineering and manufacturing processes involved in developing and integrating these systems into vehicles. Thus, the high implementation cost acts as a deterrent to the growth of the torque vectoring market.

Key industry players in the torque vectoring market are directing their efforts toward the development of innovative technologies, specifically focusing on rear-axle torque vectoring to deliver dependable services to consumers. Rear-axle torque vectoring is a system designed to distribute torque between a vehicle's rear wheels, enhancing handling and stability by leveraging various sensors to monitor factors such as the vehicle's speed, steering angle, and lateral acceleration. For instance, in May 2021, Volkswagen AG, a German automotive manufacturer, introduced the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system equipped with rear-axle torque vectoring. This new torque vectoring system incorporates a rear differential featuring two multi-plate clutches capable of redirecting up to 100% of the rear torque to a single rear wheel. The Vehicle Dynamics Manager seamlessly integrates the DCC adaptive damping system, electronic differential locking (XDS), and torque vectoring axle to enhance cornering performance.

In March 2023, SAF-HOLLAND SE, a German company specializing in the design and manufacturing of chassis-related systems and components, completed the acquisition of Haldex AB. The financial details of this acquisition were not disclosed. This strategic acquisition is anticipated to foster collaboration between the two entities, aiming to develop an intelligent system that integrates axle and suspension systems with telematics. Additionally, SAF-HOLLAND SE aims to leverage its advanced products and services in connection, electrification, and autonomous driving to actively influence the transportation industry's evolution through this acquisition. Haldex AB, the Sweden-based provider of torque vectoring technology for all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles.
