The electronic limited slip differential market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to ev penetration, demand for intelligent drivetrains, autonomous driving integration, vehicle safety enhancement, software-defined vehicles. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of electronic torque control, demand for enhanced vehicle stability, adoption in performance vehicles, expansion in electric vehicles, growth of awd systems.
The growing adoption of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) is expected to drive the growth of the electronic limited-slip differential market in the future. SUVs are versatile vehicles known for their high ground clearance, ruggedness, and spacious interiors, making them suitable for both on- and off-road use and catering to various passenger and cargo needs with strong performance capabilities. This increased adoption is driven by consumer demand for higher ride height, versatility in different road conditions, spacious interiors, towing capacity, and perceived safety benefits. Electronic limited-slip differentials (e-LSDs) are used in SUVs to improve traction, stability, and overall performance, especially under challenging driving conditions. For example, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in May 2024 that registrations of conventional SUVs rose from 14.21 million units in 2022 to 16.03 million units in 2023, highlighting the growing popularity of SUVs and its impact on the electronic limited-slip differential market.
Key players in the electronic limited-slip differential market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as traction-enhancing differentials, to improve vehicle traction, stability, and performance in various driving conditions. Traction-enhancing differentials are designed to optimize power distribution to the drive wheels, enhancing grip on the road. For instance, in April 2024, American Axle & Manufacturing Inc., a US-based manufacturer of driveline and drivetrain components, introduced TracRite, a family of traction-enhancing differentials. TracRite features advanced electronic controls for precise torque distribution, improving traction and stability across diverse driving conditions. Its adaptive algorithms quickly respond to changing road and off-road scenarios, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
In January 2023, Tata Motors Limited, an Indian automotive company, acquired Ford's manufacturing plant in India for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to boost Tata Motors' production capacity, operational efficiency, and market presence, while also advancing its electrification strategy and optimizing its supply chain. Ford Motor Company, a US-based automotive manufacturer, produces electronic limited-slip differentials (e-LSDs).
