The regions are also further sub-segmented on the basis of major countries. Market size estimates and forecast for these segments for the period 2015 to 2025 are provided in terms of USD Mn along with the respective CAGRs for the period 2017 to 2025, considering 2016 as the base year.

The key players covered in automotive turbochargers market are BorgWarner, Inc., Continental AG, Honeywell Turbo Technologies, IHI Charging Systems International GmbH, Turbodyne Technologies, Inc., Cummins Inc., Delphi, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and among others.

Based on the type of fuel, the automotive turbochargers market is segmented into:

• Gasoline
• Diesel

In 2016, diesel accounted for the largest market share of 78.7% of the global automotive turbochargers market. During the forecast period 2017-2025, the demand for gasoline segment is expected to grow at a significant growth rate of 12.4%. Turbocharging is an integral component of the engine design concept especially used in diesel engine. It shapes the characteristics of the engine more than almost any other system, as it affects its economy, dynamics and emission characteristics. Honeywell has roughly doubled its estimate for diesel sales penetration by 2018, to 6% from 3%. By 2018, it expects diesel and gasoline turbo engines combined to account for about 20 to 25% of U.S. new-vehicle sales. The factors driving the global automotive turbochargers market comprises the growing penetration of turbochargers in gasoline vehicles, highest consumption in diesel vehicles, and rising trends towards engine downsizing.

Based on the type of technology, the automotive turbochargers market is segmented into:

• Twin Turbo        
• Variable Geometry Technology (VGT)      
• Wastegate Technology

In 2016, the wastegate technology segment was observed as the largest market due to incessant execution of fuel emission regulations in developing regions, high awareness about fuel efficiency among end-users, and has led to increased use of this technology in commercial vehicles, which is expected to assist the growth of this segment over the forecast period. According to market experts, wastegate technology is the largest market for being cost effective, reliable and durable for low to mid power ranges. It has been also observed that, wastegate turbochargers advance upon fixed geometry units with an overall 3% increase in efficiency, and they can be optimized for various emissions control systems.

Based on the type of vehicle, the automotive turbochargers market is segmented into:

• Heavy Commercial vehicle (HCV)
• Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV)
• Passenger Vehicle (PV) 

Passenger vehicle segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016, the key factors assisting its market growth comprises, these are most widely used vehicles in the world, the engine specifications and fuel efficiency is high preferred by buyers in this segment, impressive drivability is an additional benefit with these turbochargers in passenger vehicle. According to Honeywell International, Inc., by 2020 around 70% of the entire light vehicles worldwide will be boosted by turbo technology. Thus, it makes LCV segment as one of the fastest growing segment in this market. The market experts suggested that, as most of the leading and emerging economies are getting aware about ecofriendly vehicles, automotive manufacturers are being challenged to meet increasingly stringent emissions and fuel efficiency requirements which is ultimately expected to assisit the market growth of turbochargers. Moreover, turbocharging offers one of the most cost-effective routes to achieving the desired results, whether in gasoline, diesel or hybrid powertrains.

For the purpose of this study, the global automotive turbochargers market is categorized into:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America
• Middle East & Africa

Europe was observed as the largest market in 2016, due to developed countries following highly stringent regulatory policies associated with auto emissions, and it’s the largest market of diesel vehicles. Moreover, large demand towards electric and hybrid vehicles have already made Europe a matured market but due to presence of implementation challenges the demand in Europe of turbochargers is expected to dip. However, Europe has been in the lead of assimilating the modern engine boosting technologies into some of the world's most advanced and fuel efficient powertrains - but over last two years, the market for turbochargers has emerged on the U.S., Asia, and the rest of the world as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and consumers focus to gain the energy efficiency benefits that turbocharging provides. Asia Pacific is the second largest automotive turbochargers market for 2016, due to the rising pollution levels in this region has impelled the governments to encourage vehicles with lower emissions and higher fuel efficiency.
