Global Automotive Flywheel Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

The flywheel in an automobile is used for the transmission of power produced by the engine to the propeller shaft or the driving shaft of the automobile. Flywheels are typically made up of steel. Flywheel resists the changes in rotational speed by moment of inertia. Flywheel also serves as the mounting-surface of the clutch assembly, while it also acts as a heat sink for the dissipation of heat from the pressure plate and disc. At the time of engagement i.e the contact between the clutch and the flywheel, a disc is clamped between the flywheel and pressure plate, that results in power transfer from the engine to the transmission.

The global automotive flywheel market has seen a remarkable growth. The rising production of vehicles globally in the past few years has boosted the flywheel market significantly. The demand for commercial vehicles is extensively driven by growing industrialization and growing service sectors. Rising demand for different factors such as comfort, aesthetics & safety, and continuous improvement in technology are responsible for the expansion of the automotive flywheel market. For enhancement of comfort factors, i.e. the reduction of the vibration produced within the transmission assembly, the manufacturers have developed different technologies.

Competition amongst flywheel manufacturers is a key factor responsible for the growth of the flywheel market as manufacturers constantly focus on developing different features to differentiate their products and match the weight, speed and transmission requirements of automotive manufacturers. Rising penetration of semi-automatic transmission systems globally such as AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) and DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission in the commercial and passenger vehicles segments is likely to drive the flywheel market during the forecast period.
