Turbochargers Market Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The turbochargers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.14% from US$14.568 billion in 2021 to US$19.351 billion in 2028.

A turbocharger is an ingenious device that harnesses the energy of exhaust gases to amplify the airflow entering the engine. Turbochargers have broad applications in the automotive, aerospace, marine, and power & energy sectors. They are commonly classified into four types single turbo, twin turbo, twin-scroll turbo, and electric turbo. The bolstering growth in end-users coupled with product innovations and launches are majorly driving the turbochargers market growth.

The growing marine industry bolsters the turbocharger market growth.

Turbochargers enable enhanced power output and improved fuel efficiency, and as ships and vessels strive for higher performance, turbochargers offer a solution by effectively boosting the combustion process, optimizing engine performance, and increasing power density. The marine industry is a key driver for the growth of the turbocharger market. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), the sales of new powerboats experienced a notable increase of 12% in 2020, resulting in an estimated 310, 000 new boats sold.

Automotive sector growth drives the turbocharger market expansion.

With the increasing demand for more powerful and fuel-efficient vehicles, turbochargers enable the downsizing of engines while maintaining the overall engine performance and improving the fuel economy. As stricter regulations on emissions and fuel efficiency continue to shape the automotive industry, turbochargers offer a viable solution to meet these requirements. The rising adoption of turbochargers in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and sports cars has propelled the growth of the turbocharger market. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) report the industry produced around 2, 59, 31, 867 vehicles including Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles, Three Wheelers, Two Wheelers, and Quadricycles in April 2022 to March 2023, as against 2, 30, 40, 066 units in April 2021 to March 2022.

Rising power & energy sector propels the turbocharger market growth.

Turbochargers are extensively utilized in power plants, gas turbines, and renewable energy systems to maximize power output, reduce emissions, and improve overall efficiency. As demands for energy efficiency, sustainability, and power generation increase, turbochargers have emerged as crucial components in optimizing performance and enhancing fuel efficiency.

The asia-Pacific region is expected to account for a significant market share.

Asia Pacific’s strong presence in industries such as power generation, aerospace, and marine further contributes to the turbochargers market's growth in the region. Moreover, the rapidly growing automotive sector in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea is further driving the demand for turbochargers. According to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways. India's coastal and overseas fleet witnessed a growth trajectory from 1, 491 in 2021 to 1, 520 in 2022, reflecting an increase in the total fleet size during this period.

Booming EV demand restrains the turbochargers market growth

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) poses a significant challenge to the turbocharger market. Unlike internal combustion engines, which heavily rely on turbocharging to enhance power and efficiency, EVs do not require turbochargers for these purposes. As the popularity of EVs grows, the automotive sector's demand for turbochargers is expected to decline. According to the International Energy Agency, the first quarter of 2023 witnessed remarkable growth in the electric car market, with over 2.3 million units sold, marking a substantial 25% increase compared to 2022 and indicating sales of approximately 14 million electric cars by the end of 2023.
