The demand for small and medium-sized cars is increasing in emerging economies such as India and China due to the penetration of DCT technology. BorgWarner has partnered with Maruti Suzuki to develop compact-sized DCTs for small cars. Moreover, compact DCTs will be used in small-size vehicles in India.

Product Innovations to Redefine the Dual-Clutch Transmission Market

Product innovation is a key trend gaining popularity in the Dual-Clutch Transmission Market. Major companies operating in the dual-clutch transmission market are developing innovative products to sustain their position in the Dual-Clutch Transmission Market. For instance, in March 2022, Punch Powertrain, a Belgium-based auto parts manufacturing company, launched the innovative dual-clutch transmission (DCT) system DT11. The system provided dependable performance and enhanced driving comfort even under the most challenging circumstances, including extremely high ambient temperatures, high altitudes, and difficult driving situations like uneven roads and stop-and-go traffic.

Forge Strategic Partnership for Advancing Electrified Dual-Clutch Transmission Technology

Major companies operating in the Dual-Clutch Transmission Market are forming partnerships to develop new products and strengthen their positions in the market. Strategic partnerships refer to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in September 2022, Stellantis N.V., a Netherlands-based automotive manufacturing company, partnered with Punch Powertrain, a Belgium-based dual-clutch transmission manufacturing company to increase the production of electrified dual-clutch transmission. Through this partnership, Punch Powertrain looks forward to utilizing the electrified dual-clutch transmission for Stellantis hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles and carmakers. The existing collaboration will be expanded by adding another site at the Mirafiori Complex in Italy, broadening the scope of their strategic partnership in the field of electrification.

Dual Clutch Transmission Market Segment Overview

The global Dual-Clutch Transmission Market is segmented based on clutches, vehicles, transmission, and distribution channels. By clutches, the market is split into dry and wet. By vehicle, the market is segmented as passenger cars, OEM vehicles, sports car, and motorcycles. By transmission, the market is bifurcated into ICE and hybrid. Furthermore, the distribution channel is classified into OEM and aftermarket.

Dry clutches will gain prominence in the global Dual-Clutch Transmission Market, contributing to the ultimate growth of the dual clutch transmission market. Dry clutches work by combining the high efficiency of manual gearbox transmission with the low drag of dry clutch; thereby allowing higher fuel saving and lower CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it eliminates torque interruption during the gear shifting process to improve the driving experience and faster Motorcycle response. Such factors have a positive impact on segmental growth, ultimately contributing to the overall growth of the dual clutch transmission market.

OEM to maintain its lead in the global Dual-Clutch Transmission Market by capturing a sizable share during the analysis period. This is because OEMs have long-term supply agreements and contracts with existing automobile manufacturers that ensure a steady supply of spare parts used in dual clutch transmissions. This is one of the key factors responsible for overall segmental growth, which in turn contributes to the overall market growth of the dual clutch transmission market.

Dual Clutch Transmission Market Regional Insights

Asia-Pacific holds the dominating share of the Market; also expected to record considerable growth during the analysis period of 2025 to 2032

Asia-Pacific is expected to maintain its dominant position in the market throughout the forecast period. China is the leading contributor to dual clutch transmission in APAC. China's influence on the global market for dual clutch transmission continues to grow steadily as DCT systems from Chinese manufacturing plants are actively used in several European cars. This is one of the main reasons for the regional domination in dual clutch transmission (DCT) in the world.

Europe on the other hand, is expected to have the fastest-growing CAGR for the Market between 2024 and 2032. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) report, DCTs are popular in Europe because manual transmissions have a large market share in Europe and customers are accustomed to the launch quality of manual transmissions, which is not the case in the United States. Furthermore, European manufacturers are testing various options based on expertise with manual transmission experience (primarily European based manufacturers) and are implementing DCTs with or without torque converters. Other enhancements to DCTs involving electro-mechanical clutch actuation (rather than hydraulic) are also on the way.

Dual Clutch Transmission Market Competitive Landscape

Volkswagen Group has the highest share of Dual Clutch Transmission fitment followed by Ford, Hyundai/Kia.

The brand, that has championed the usage of dual clutch transmission the most is Volkswagen. In the Market, dual clutch transmission is found across nearly all of its model portfolio. VW has revealed its new-gen Golf without a DSG option in non-performance grades in Australia because of their lenient emissions regulations compared to other markets across the globe. Dual Clutch Transmissions are being offered by automotive vehicle manufacturers like Audi, Volkswagen, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mercedes, Ferrari, Ford, and BMW. A shift in market trends because of the increased competition for faster and smoother transmissions and increased efficiency is expected to drive market growth. The OEMs are looking for fuel economy improvements, and DCT designs are becoming sophisticated solutions. In 2022, the Tata Altroz is soon going to get a new 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine. It will be introduced with a new Punch Powertrain-sourced ‘DT-1’ 7-speed wet type dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DCT) along with the regular 5-speed manual gearbox option.
