Automotive Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing consumer demand for advancement in efficiency and technology to Favor the Market
- The mounting demand for advancement in efficiency and technology is a key aspect driving the automotive four-wheel vehicles market.
- The market is substantially driving owing to increasing popularity of SUV’s and crossovers in consumers. For instance, in 2022, SUVs accounted for around ~46% of global car sales, with significant development coming in the US, India and Europe.
- An increasing number of SUVs were electric, accounting for around ~16% of total SUV sales in 2022, above the average overall market share for EVs. For the first time ever, electric SUVs last year accounted for over half of global electric car sales.
Preference for Automatic AWD system
- The manual and automatic all-wheel drive (AWD) systems work together to form the current system. The current AWD-Disconnect system serves the following purposes it determines if all-wheel drive (AWD) is necessary, it uses electronic power steering to improve angle detection, it detects the steering angle for the proper distribution of torque in the required ratio for turning wheels, and it distributes torque between the front and rear wheels independently.
- In 2023, Honda cars announced Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System, which adds a rear differential to a front-wheel-drive vehicle. Some models come with Honda’s i-VTM4 AWD System, which senses the torque needed by each axle and automatically sends power to the wheels that need it the most. This intuitive system makes AWD safe and enjoyable, and it’s available on Honda’s more powerful SUVs and trucks.
