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

Automotive supercharger basically involves an external compressor fitted to the engine assembly. This compressor sucks in atmospheric air, compresses the same, and passes this compressed air into engine combustion chamber. This high-pressure air mixes with the fuel in the engine causing combustion at high temperature. This leads to production of a large amount of heat and by-product in the form of gases. This compressor is connected to the engine via belt and pulley mechanism and thus, gets driven by the engine. The biggest advantage of this system is that the power generated by the engine per unit volume of fuel greatly increases along with the fuel efficiency.

There are several factors responsible for the growth of automotive supercharger market, over time, in the global scenario. Firstly, the world of automobiles is facing unprecedented competition from the global players, with each automaker trying to differentiate themselves from the remaining lot by a unique product offering. Secondly, the automobile consumers don’t mind purchasing high end and high performance cars as long as their expectations in terms of product design, utility value, and comfort are met. Thirdly, the world is facing global fuel and natural resource crisis, thus it makes business sense from the point of view of the auto makers, in manufacturing more fuel efficient and energy efficient automobiles. The global automotive supercharger market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of approx. 6% (2017 to 2023).

Automotive Supercharger Market by Segmentation:

On the basis of technology, the most widely used type is the centrifugal supercharger. The air-fuel mixture enters this system through the central part, subsequently passing through the diffuser, causing the air pressure to increase. Affordability and ease of installation make this system very popular. On the basis of the source of power, the Internal Combustion engine uses the supercharger system considerably more compared to the electric motor variety. The mechanism of the supercharger aptly suits the IC engine functionality, which is based on the combustion of fuel in the engine under pressure, and resultant release of high amounts of energy. On the basis of fuel used, petrol engine uses the supercharger system more, since the exhaust produced by the petrol engine is less (compared to diesel engine). Thus, with the increased rpm of the engine, the connected supercharger increases the vehicle power (unlike the diesel engine, which has to deal with the additionally generated turbo lag).
