Industry Overview
The Global Automotive Turbocharger Market is anticipated to grow from USD 11.65 billion to USD 19.7 billion by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period 2025-2030. An automotive turbocharger is an enforced initiation system that uses the energy of exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine. This helps in stimulating the volume of air into the combustion chamber as it burns the fuel efficiently with great power and saves fuel. Turbochargers are one of the essential components as they increase the efficiency of the engine.
The rising adoption of passenger, commercial, and heavy-duty vehicles to increase fuel efficiency will drive the growth of the market. The mandatory emission norms, mounting production of mild hybrid vehicles, and rising usage of TGDI (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection) technology will fuel the growth of the global automotive turbocharger market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the industry as there was a temporary shutdown of assembly lines, resulting in a slowdown in the economy. With almost no vehicle movement, there were no new requirements for installing a turbocharger on a new vehicle or additional turbocharger to replace is already present in the vehicle, resulting in a slowdown in the turbocharger market. Nevertheless, the rising demand for performance and luxury cars will lead to increased demand for automotive turbochargers leading to growth in the market.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Fuel Type
Based on fuel, the global automotive turbocharger market is bifurcated into gasoline and diesel. The gasoline segment is anticipated to witness the largest segment over the projected period due to the reduced price of turbocharged gasoline engine technology and novel emission regulations. Moreover, exhaust gas turbocharger technology which is built into gasoline-powered automotive turbochargers helps to burn engine fuel efficiently, thereby improving engine performance. Thus, encouraging OEMs to adopt turbochargers in gasoline passenger cars.
Insight by Technology
Based on technology, the global automotive turbocharger market is segregated into VGT/VNT, wastegate, and twin turbo. VGT dominates the market and is generally used in diesel-powered vehicles. The twin-turbo segment is having significant growth owing to its increased output and is highly adopted in sports cars and Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs).
Insight by Vehicle Type
Based on vehicle type, the automotive turbocharger market is divided into PCV, LCV, and HCV. The passenger vehicle contributes to the largest share of the market due to the large population of passenger vehicles worldwide. The industry players have commercialized fuel cell vehicle turbochargers that efficiently generate power via the delivery of clean air to fuel cell batteries. This has resulted in the growth of fuel cell technology in the PCV market, thus fuelling the growth of the automotive turbocharger market.
Insight by Distribution Channel
Based on the distribution channel, the global automotive turbocharger market is bifurcated into OEM and aftermarket. There is stable growth in the aftermarket distribution channel segment owing to the rising demand for engine components in the automotive industry as a result of frequent engine-component failures, which will drive the growth of automotive turbochargers. Furthermore, the automotive component makers are offering e-commerce platforms to serve customers with aftermarket turbochargers.
