A paradigm shift has been there in torque vectoring market due to growing electrification and various governmental initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Further, this factor has increased the sales and penetration of electric vehicles in developed and developing economies. The countries mainly the U.S., China, Germany, UK Japan, and others are focusing on replacing fuel-based vehicle with electric and hybrid as well as autonomous vehicle. As per the data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, the Chinese market shipped 499,573 electric vehicles in 2021. This shift has created a potential room for torque vectoring OEMs, further boosting the market.
The global torque vectoring market is growing rapidly owing to growth in focus of vehicle manufacturers to offer unique and comprehensive approach that enables the efficient control of the energy flow in vehicles. Further, the OEMs are emphasizing to reduce the vehicle weight and reduce components without comprising the efficiency of the vehicle. In such scenario, companies are replacing traditional motors with advanced e-motors along with battery management solutions. This would significantly reduce power dissipation and optimize the vehicle parts that would provide a better control as well as increase lifespan & efficiency gains. Reducing the weight of the vehicle would further reduce pressure on torque and deliver the driver a smooth and safer driving experience.
Despite the growing factors, high costs involved in integrating various sensors, radars, other hardware, and software components to support torque vectoring is hampering market growth. In addition to this, small and medium size players are unable to compete with the giant players in terms of technological innovation due to limited allocation of funds for R&D activities and limited reach to source raw materials and components.
The COVID-19 crisis left an unprecedented impact on many sectors, including tourism, health, and retail. Automotive industry is one of the highly affected sectors. Factory closures, supply chain disruption, and a collapse in demand dramatically hampered the production and sales of the cars. Moreover, with over 80% of the world’s auto supply chain connected to China, production shortfalls were observed. To protect lives, safeguard employees & workers, and reduce the spread of the virus, the manufacturing facilities and plants were completely halted, which created a standstill position for the automotive industry. Further, major investments done by OEMs and other players operating in supply chain to ramp up production of electric vehicles and components were unable to produce due to lockdown announced worldwide. This created stock piling in warehouses and additional overheads to maintain the stocks. Owing to the abovementioned factors, the global torque vectoring market observed a steep downfall, further hampering the overall automotive industry.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, “Torque Vectoring Market," the torque vectoring market was valued at $8.1 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $31.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2022 to 2031.The market is expanding as a result of the rising demand for torque vectoring systems in premium cars and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) with off-roading capabilities. Moreover, rising consumer safety concerns are propelling the torque vectoring market size. size. Further, rapid technological innovations by major manufacturers to reduce vehicles weight by introducing compact torque systems is creating a potential impact on the market. For instance, in October 2019, BorgWarner developed cost-effective torque vectoring dual-clutch system ideal for electric vehicles. This compact design significantly reduces car space and replaces two electric motors with one that are typically found on electric vehicles. This new torque solution minimizes waste of energy, complements the driveline system, and delivers at an effective low price.
Key factors driving the growth of the market includes increase in sales of electric vehicles globally. Regions such as Europe and North America are proactively emphasizing on protecting environment by reducing carbon emissions significantly. Moreover, these regions are stepping ahead aggressively to promote sustainability and build smart cities. In such case, transportation is the upmost sector on which the governmental authorities are focusing to reduce hazardous emissions, especially emitting from vehicles, mainly heavy commercial and light commercial vehicles. Owing to this, vehicle OEMs are focusing on introducing and penetrating heavy & light electric vehicles in these regions, which is further responsible for boosting the torque vectoring solutions market size.
In addition to this, dramatic shift toward electronic control of torque distribution is a significant trend observed for 4WD technologies. Shifting from torque transfer to torque management has been the focus for OEMs and suppliers. This implies a considerable growth in active or On-demand AWD systems, resulting in decrease in volume and value for passive or conventional full time AWD systems. Owing to this, the torque vectoring market is likely to observe significant growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, introduction of autonomous vehicles contributes to the torque vectoring market growth. Autonomous vehicles sense their environment and operate without human involvement.
