Germany Automotive Turbocharger Market Overview, 2027

Germany is a country located in the heart of Western Europe with a population of 83.15 million people. Germany is famous for its advanced technology in the sectors of automobiles and other businesses. Germany's world-class R&D infrastructure, complete industry value chain integration, and highly qualified and skilled workforce create an internationally peerless automotive environment. In Germany, year by year, innovation takes place in the automobile sector. In Germany, strict pollution control rules and restrictions on high emissions led to the introduction of turbochargers into the market. A turbocharger, or turbo, is a gas compressor that is used to force air into an internal combustion engine. It is a form of forced induction. It also increases the amount of air entering the engine to create more power. A turbocharger has a compressor that is powered by a turbine. Turbochargers have improved the performance of diesel engines in Germany; in fact, turbochargers are now standard equipment in all diesel vehicles. Turbochargers are used to reduce weight and increase efficiency. In Germany, many manufacturing and supplier companies of turbochargers are leading. Some of them are Cummins, Mitsubishi, and BorgWarner. The primary objective behind the enhancement of valves in the automotive turbocharger market is to boost vehicle performance, both in low-as well as high-speed conditions.

According to the report title “Germany Automotive Turbocharger Market Overview, 2027” published by Bonafide Research, the automotive turbocharger market in the Germany is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 13.4% in value market size by the end of the forecast period. The market size of Germany is increasing due to the increasing awareness of the benefits of turbocharging by the customer. The customer becomes more and more conscious about the durability of their automobile engine. The main purpose of the turbocharger is to increase the efficiency of the engine and improve its life cycle also. Due to improvement in the consumption ratio of fuel, the people of Germany are attracted towards this market. As per the report, the turbocharger has many segments. In Germany, the turbocharger used varies from person to person. On the basis of fuel type, there are two types of turbochargers that are used. The first is the diesel turbocharger and the gasoline turbocharger. Diesel turbochargers are also called turbo diesels, and turbocharging a diesel engine increases its efficiency and power output, mainly when used in combination with an intercooler. The extra torque that diesel turbocharger engines generate makes them available for carrying big loads and towing. Larger diesel cars hold better value than those of less efficient gasoline versions.

In a gasoline turbocharger, a turbocharged engine uses a turbine that's powered by the engine's exhaust gas to subsequently force that extra compressed air into the combustion chamber. The compression ratio of a gasoline engine is less than that of a diesel engine. In Germany, the market share of diesel turbochargers is higher than the gasoline turbochargers, and according to the report, it is estimated that the market share of diesel engines will be over 50% by 2027.

In Germany, on the basis of technology, there are mainly three types of turbochargers that are available and have a demand among the people. The three turbochargers are the Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), Wastegate Turbocharger, and Electric Turbocharger. Among all three, the VGT is in high demand among the people of Germany. Variable-geometry turbochargers (VGT), also termed as variable-nozzle turbines (VNT), are turbochargers that are designed to allow the effective aspect ratio of the turbocharger to be altered as conditions change. Wastegate turbochargers are those types of turbochargers in which the wastegate valve is used to control and regulate the exhaust gas to the turbine wheel. It also controls turbine speed and compressor rotating speed. In electrically assisted turbocharging, a turbocharger with an electric compressor delivers power at a low speed when the turbocharger is not working. It is also used for boosting the power and speed of the engine. The robust growth of VGT is expected during the forecasted period.

On the basis of vehicle type, in Germany there are two types of turbochargers: passenger vehicle turbochargers and commercial vehicle turbochargers. In Germany, the market share of passenger vehicle turbochargers is higher than commercial vehicle turbochargers. The turbochargers used in passenger vehicles are suitable for a low range of speed and provide suitable torque to the engine. Passenger vehicles include cars and small vans. As compared to commercial vehicles, a large number of passenger vehicles are present in Germany because commercial vehicles are usually used for business purposes. Commercial vehicles include heavy trucks, heavy loading vans, etc., and the turbochargers used in them are more suitable for high speed and provide high torque to the engine, but they are expensive also. The CAGR of passenger vehicle turbochargers is expected to be higher than in the past.

In Germany on the basis of sales channel there are two types of turbochargers are used by the people, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Aftermarket type of turbocharger. Out of two in Germany, the market for OEM is higher than the aftermarket. OEM provides the original products and spare parts of the automobile. It is only available for purchase through the dealership. It provides superior turbocharger products and is expensive but durable. The aftermarket provides a cheap and inferior quality of turbocharger, and they are at a high risk because the materials used for the manufacturing of turbochargers are not of good quality. It is also available on the e-commerce market. The OEM turbocharger market attractiveness is expected to reach its maximum by 2027.

The technology company Continental is making more of its original equipment turbochargers available to the automotive aftermarket. Starting immediately, it is offering turbochargers for numerous models made by BMW, MINI, and the Volkswagen Group. Continental is now providing the independent spare parts market with more high-efficiency turbochargers that are identical to those installed by manufacturers. In addition to those for Ford, it also supplies products for marques and models of the Volkswagen Group.

The COVID-19 crisis had created uncertainty in the market, causing a slow-down in the supply chain, a fall in business confidence, and an increase in panic among the people of Germany. The government has already announced total lockdown and temporary shutdown of industries, with the overall production and sales being adversely affected. Therefore, the turbocharger market will have a moderate dip in 2020 owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
