The automotive automatic transmission market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The automotive automatic transmission market has shown robust growth in recent years. It is expected to increase from $67.44 billion in 2024 to $72.9 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%.
The growth is fueled by the integration of hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems, growing demand for automatic transmission vehicles, increased focus on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, and the growing preference for convenience in driving.
The automotive automatic transmission market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The automotive automatic transmission market is projected to reach $98.6 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.8%.
This growth is attributed to the rising adoption of electric vehicles, integration of ADAS in transmissions, stricter emission standards, the expansion of ride-sharing fleets, and innovations in transmission materials. Trends include dual-clutch and continuously variable transmissions, predictive maintenance, and the growth of subscription-based transmission services.
The shift toward electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive automatic transmission market. Electric and hybrid vehicles, powered by electric motors or a combination of electric motors and internal combustion engines, are becoming more popular due to their environmental benefits, energy efficiency, and fuel economy. Automatic transmission systems in electric vehicles manage power delivery and optimize driving performance. The International Energy Agency reported a 35% year-on-year increase in global electric car sales in 2023, further supporting the growth of the automotive automatic transmission market.
