What are the key forces behind the all wheel drive market’s growth in recent years?
An increase in demand for electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the all-wheel drive market going forward. Electric vehicles operate on an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine and are powered by a large traction battery pack. All-wheel drive (AWD) enhances traction and stability in electric vehicles to help navigate diverse road and environmental challenges effectively. For instance, in June 2022, according to the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), a US-based association representing all investor-owned electric companies, the projected number of electric vehicles (EVs) on U.S. roads is expected to increase from 2.4 million in 2021 to 26.4 million by 2030. The annual sales of EVs are estimated to reach nearly 5.6 million in 2030, comprising around 32% of total yearly light-duty vehicle sales. Therefore, the increasing demand for electric vehicles will drive the growth of the all-wheel drive market.
