Global Commercial Vehicle Transfer Case Market to Reach 12.4 Million Units by the Year 2026

A specialized component used on all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles is known as a transfer case. It is useful on vehicles that use both rear and front axles for driving. A transfer case splits up engine power and transfers it to all the four wheels using rear and front axles. Increasing demand for safety, fuel efficiency, ability to tow for light trucks and SUVs, and traction in severe weather conditions have been the major factors driving the transfer case market growth. Growth is also being driven by increasing commercial vehicle production and the implementation of stringent fuel-efficiency standards and emission norms in several countries around the world. Rising commercial vehicle demand and improving affordability of innovative and advance system in developing countries such as China, Brazil, India and Mexico are expected to significantly contribute towards the vehicle transfer case market growth. The most prominent trend in the market for transfer cases currently is the rising demand for lightweight cases. There has been a steady rise in demand for 4WD and AWD in premium sedans and SUVs, which emerged as one of the chief growth promoting factor for the market for transfer cases. Growing sales of PHEVs and HEVs promoted by improving charging infrastructure is also fueling market growth.
