This latest edition of Global market review of automotive turbochargers and superchargers - forecasts to 2014 marks something of a watershed. Its the first report from that has reached its fifth edition. This takes off from the last edition and provides an in-depth technical review of turbocharger technology, proprietary forecasts and analysis of the worlds major markets and a review of the main supplier companies.
North America, Europe and Japan car sales currently account for around 33.4m passenger cars and light vehicles a year.
Of this total, diesel sales account for around 10m units, all of which utilise turbocharger technology but the prospects for growth are there. The US is experiencing a severe rise in fuel prices which is causing the consumer to think about the fuel consumption figures of his or her vehicle for the first time. The hybrids have proved to be popular, especially on the East and West coasts; but to put them into perspective, their sales are still less than 2% of the total. North America has a very large engine infrastructure for gasoline, but diesels do look set to grow maybe taking around 15-20% of the market.
In Europe, diesel-powered cars, the majority of which are turbocharged, continued their market domination, accounting for 53.3% of total new car registrations in Western Europe in 2007, up from 13.8% in 1990.
Of the emerging markets, China looks to set the agenda with total annual turbo sales forecasted to be nearly 8.1m units this year and increasing 20% year-on-year for the next five years.
India is a currently small but fast-expanding market with passenger car and light-truck sales this year forecast to be 1.1m sales, 75% of which will be small cars and it is in this segment that is on the verge of experiencing a boom in diesel sales.
"As you look around the world there are increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions requirements that the manufacturers have to meet with their new cars," says Alex Ismail of Honeywell Turbo Technologies, "so the way the turbocharger should be seen is not as a component but as a legislative gain.
"The vehiclemakers are resorting to downsizing their engines but at the same time they need to cope with the increasing weight of the vehicle due to their safety requirements, increased passenger refinement and the onboard electronics. The typical scenario is one where the driver wants to be more environmentally friendly but not at the expense of refinement, performance and overall drivability. The only way the auto manufacturers can deal with that is to have a turbocharger at the centre of the engine which is why you see them becoming such critical devices as they help solve this complex equation."
The report is broken out into the following chapters:
Chapter 1 Executive summary
Provides highlights of what is analysed throughout the report.
Chapter 2 Technical review
This 16-page chapter runs through the various technologies surrounding turbocharger design and innovation. It reviews the latest developments regarding heat issues, bearing and turbine design, multistage turbocharging, electronics and control devices, turbo speed sensors, and future developments.
Chapter 3 Geographical market analysis by region
This chapter breaks the major turbocharger markets up by North America, Europe, Japan, China and The rest of the world.
In it, we provide proprietary volume forecasts by region. Each regional table (covering North America, Europe, Japan, China, and India) provides data year by year from 2008 to 2014, breaking out the following data:
We offer the following separate data rows for passenger cars and for light trucks:
Total passenger car sales
Downsized engines
Turbo-diesel engines
Hybrid engines
Total turbo-diesel engines
Total turbocharger market
We also provide installation rates for European turbocharger demand, in units and percentage.
To summarise the chapter we provide textual analysis to accompany a global volume forecasts table showing volumes by region for both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.
