Global Automotive Selector Lever Market Overview:

Automotive Selector Lever is an important part of the gearbox transmission mechanism. The selector lever is mainly used in automatic transmission to select the required drive position by the driver. Moreover, selector levers facilitate the driver to adapt to the gear shifting mechanism. Automotive selector levers are made by chrome-plated surface to meet the high standards of automation and requirements.

As a selector lever is a component used mainly in the passenger compartment, high standards for safety is needed while manufacturing and installation of the levers. The increasing need to use the space of a car in an efficient way and increasing demand for weight reduction of the engine control mechanism owing to stringent government norms regarding vehicle emission are the key factors considered to drive the automotive selector lever market growth.

Furthermore, increasing vehicle sales across the globe has boosted the demand for selector levers in the market exponentially. According to Statistical reports published by Automotive Manufacturers Association (AMA) in 2019, 65.5 million cars were sold in the year in which the passenger cars share accounted for approximately 25 million USD. AMA predicted the worldwide sales to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% owing to increasing manufacturing of vehicles post-pandemic.

Global Automotive Selector Lever Market Dynamics:

Increasing demand for compact vehicle designs across the globe and rising demand for ergonomic comfort of drivers are the key factors considered to drive the automotive selector lever market growth. Moreover, the exponential adoption of driver assistance system by the automotive sector owing to the increasing inclination of manufacturers towards drivers’ comfort is the key supporting factor considered to drive the market growth.

According to Chalmers Survey on Ergonomic Driver Assistance, approximately 69% of automotive manufacturers for passenger and commercial cars are inclined towards the development of a highly adaptive gear shifting mechanism. Also, electric cars manufacturers are keen on using comfortable gear shifting technology for the drivers. In addition, the increasing need for the safety of the lever shifting mechanism is expected to boost the market during the forecast period.

Electric gear shifting mechanism with control knobs is the key factor considered to restrain the automotive selector lever market growth. Furthermore, increasing adoption of drive by wire technology which totally eliminates the lever system and connects the gear shifting mechanism with computers is the factor considered to hamper the market during the forecast period.

The highly untapped market of the APAC region and increasing interconnected smart transportation system are the key factors expected to create opportunities in the market.

Mechatronic Levers are dominating the Automotive Selector Lever Market:

Increasing demand for augmented electric automation and rising demand for weight reduction of the gear shifting mechanism are the key factors considered to drive the mechatronic levers segment in the market. Furthermore, mechatronics levers have design advantages over simple mechanical levers including adoption in electric cars as well as applications in autonomous vehicles also.

Increasing demand for electric vehicles owing to sustainable development imitative taken by governments is the key factor expected to drive the segment growth during the forecast period. According to the research and development cell of AUDI, mechatronics levers is expected to pose many opportunities in the market owing to the design ergonomics of mechatronics levers. According to the Annual report of Audi, the company installs approximately 8 million units of mechatronic levers by far since the adoption of design in the market.

Manual Transmission Segment is boosting the Automotive Selector Lever Market Sales:

Many developing economies and manufacturers within it are still preferring manual transmission system in commercial vehicles as well as in passenger cars owing to their low cost and simplicity of mechanism. According to Volkswagen, more than 10 million units of manual transmission mechanism are sold each year owing to the adoption of manual system by luxury cars manufacturers.

But, factors including fuel efficiency, ease in shifting of gears and increasing demand in the developed regions are the factors expected to dominate the electronic transmission segment during the forecast period. Moreover, the increasing adoption of electric transmission in electric and autonomous cars is the key supporting factor considered to boost the electric transmission segment during the forecast period.

OEM holds the largest share in the Automotive Selector Lever Market:

According to Tokai Rika Annual report, the OEM segment holds the largest share in the automotive selector lever market with approximately 64% market share owing to the increasing adoption of shift by wire transmission system for automated manual and dual-clutch transmission system. Easy gear shifting mechanism provided by shift by wire technology is boosting the demand for selector levers and in turn, increases the sales for OEMs on the global level.

Moreover, OEMs are inclining towards a less complex mechanism for transmission system including electronic transmission system owing to less complex interlocking patterns in the electronic transmission mechanism which is hampering the selector levers market. The adoption of a miniaturized gear system is boosting the OEM segment in the market and creating a positive environment for the market.

Impact of Covid pandemic on the Automotive Selector Lever market:

The covid pandemic posed a negative impact on the Automotive Selector Lever market owing to delayed manufacturing activities and halting of shipments for Automotive Selector Levers due to disruptions in supply chains for manufacturers across the globe. Moreover, changes in dealer inventories and the sudden closing of manufacturing activities in factories across the globe has induced a drop in the Automotive Selector Lever market. Furthermore, the unavailability of the workforce owing to stringent rules and regulations of social distancing has expected to hamper the market growth by approximately 12%.

Steady demand for Automotive Selector Lever and growing manufacturing activities across the automotive industries especially in passenger cars and commercial vehicles segment are the factors expected to create a positive atmosphere in the market. Moreover, manufacturers are also seeing the pandemic as a new way to incorporate their supply chains and integrate their operational demands and dive for cost-cutting Automotive Selector Lever solutions to adhere to the market growth during the forecast period.
