Global Automotive Clutch (Manual Transmission, AT, AMT & CVT) Market 2014-2019
M2 - Wed Mar 11, 7:18AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/55lbrs/automotive_clutch) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Clutch Market by Transmission Type, Clutch Disc Size, and by Geography - Forecast and Analysis to 2019" report to their offering. The automotive clutch market size in terms of value is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2014 to 2019 The clutch transmits engine power to the gearbox without interrupting the running of the engine, and enables continuous transmission while a gear is selected. In general terms, the wheels need to be disengaged from the engine in the event of stopping or braking of the vehicle. In order to connect the engine to transmission, clutches are used to smoothly engage a spinning crankshaft to a non-spinning transmission shaft. A clutch thus provides a separable connection between engine and transmission. This report segments the market in terms of regions into Asia-Oceania, North America, Europe, and the Rest of the World (RoW). The market is further segmented by Transmission Type (Manual Transmission, AT, AMT, & CVT) and by Clutch Disc Size (below 9 inches, 9 to 10 inches, 10 to 11 inches, & 11 inches and above). The demand for automatic transmission vehicles as compared to vehicles with manual transmission is higher in the mature European market. The demand for automatic transmission systems is growing at a faster rate and also outnumbering the demand for manual transmission in the North American market and is growing considerably in Asia-Pacific, due to the increase in consumer purchasing power. China is expected to be the largest market for automotive clutch systems in the next five years. Countries such as India, the U.K., and the U.S. are expected to exhibit high growth rates with respect to the demand for automotive clutch systems from 2014 to 2019.

M2 - Tue Mar 10, 6:23AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7tjlwm/global_electric) has announced the addition of the "Global Electric Power Steering (EPS) Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The Global Electric Power Steering market to grow at a CAGR of 8.63% over the period 2014-2019 The report, Global Electric Power Steering Market 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. EPS systems are rapidly gaining acceptance among automakers and consumers because of the benefits they offer. They are lightweight and offer more fuel economy, when compared with hydraulic power steering systems. In terms of precision, EPS systems are more precise and reduce the steering effort. Emerging economies such as China, Brazil, and India are experiencing rapid expansion and growth in terms of economy and infrastructure. These economies are poised to become prominent automotive markets globally in the coming years. This is also influencing the demand for vehicles fitted with EPS systems. Many automakers and component manufacturers are increasing their R&D spending to improve their product lines and bring in more technological innovations that would reduce/control emission levels. According to the report, the growth of the market is attributed to the increase in demand for passenger cars fitted with EPS systems. Countries worldwide are implementing stringent regulations to reduce/control vehicle emission levels. The fuel economy of EPS-fitted cars is higher than that of hydraulic steering-fitted cars. Further, the report states that vendors in this market, however, have to grapple with the rising cost of raw materials. This adds to their production costs, but vendors or manufacturers are unable to pass this extra cost on to customers because of the intensely competitive nature of the market. This negatively affects their profit margins.
