||||||
预计 2024 年全球无段变速箱 (CVT) 市场规模将达到 202.2 亿美元,2025 年将达到 219.5 亿美元。预计到 2032 年将进一步成长至 439 亿美元,在预测期 (2025-2032) 内将维持 10.4% 的强劲复合年增长率 (CAGR)。
无段变速箱 (CVT) 是一种自动变速箱系统,可实现无段变速,从而实现平顺的动力传输。与传统的齿轮变速箱不同,CVT 使用皮带轮机构来保持最佳引擎转速,从而提高燃油效率、平顺加速和驾驶舒适性。由于机械损耗降低、燃油经济性提高,CVT变速箱在紧凑型轿车、SUV和混合动力汽车的应用日益广泛。
市场扩张的主要推动力是消费者对燃油效率高、环保汽车的需求不断增长、排放控制目标的日益严格以及变速箱系统的技术创新。丰田汽车公司、本田汽车公司、捷特科株式会社、爱信株式会社和Punch Powertrain等领先企业透过持续投入研发,致力于开发轻量化、高效且相容混合动力系统的CVT变速箱,引领全球CVT产业的发展。
市场趋势
CVT产业的一个显着趋势是向先进、轻量化的CVT设计转型。捷特科株式会社于2023年10月发布的 "CVT-XS" 等创新技术正是此发展趋势的体现。 CVT-XS 专为小型和中型前轮驱动车辆设计,传动效率高达 90%,并采用更小的机械油泵、多片离合器和双油泵系统,从而实现更平顺的性能和更低的摩擦损失。
这种轻量化设计的趋势与全球排放法规一致,例如美国的温室气体/CAFE 目标和欧盟的 "Fit for 55" 计划,这些法规都强调减少碳排放和提高燃油经济性。汽车製造商正在开发紧凑、高效的 CVT 单元,以满足性能和环保目标。
市场动态
推动因素:对燃油效率和排放法规合规性的需求不断增长
由于全球二氧化碳排放法规日益严格以及消费者对燃油效率高的车辆的需求,CVT 市场正在扩张。在欧洲, "Fit for 55" 倡议要求到2030年将平均二氧化碳排放量减少55%;在美国,环保署2024年的法规要求到2032年将车队平均温室气体排放量减少约50%。
CVT变速箱透过优化引擎转速和降低油耗,直接支援这些目标的实现,与传统自动变速箱相比,车辆效率最多可提高4%。日产和丰田等汽车製造商正在将CVT变速箱整合到内燃机汽车和混合动力汽车中,以实现其企业永续发展目标。例如,日产和捷特科(JATCO)在英国投资5,000万美元建设的电动车动力总成工厂,正在将CVT技术与电气元件结合,计划在2026年前开发混合动力和轻度混合动力车。
阻碍因素-重型车辆的扭力处理限制
儘管CVT具有效率优势,但在大型SUV和跑车等高扭力、高性能应用中,CVT仍面临挑战。摩擦式皮带或链条机构在重载下容易过热,导致磨损和打滑。虽然像斯巴鲁这样的汽车製造商已经采用了增强型冷却系统来缓解这个问题,但这项技术仍然最适合轻型和中型车辆。
机会-整合到高性能和混合动力汽车中
链条材料、润滑系统和电子控制单元的进步正在拓展CVT在高性能和豪华汽车中的应用。博世的 CVT4EV 专案(2023 年)采用可承受超过 400 牛顿米扭力的钢带,采埃孚的 "CVT-Sport" 软体(2024 年)则模拟平顺换檔,以提升运动驾驶体验,这些创新正在革新整个产业。
e-CVT 在混合动力和插电式混合动力汽车的应用成长带来了更多机会。在欧盟 7 排放法规和日本绿色汽车促进委员会的努力支持下(该委员会将 CVT 定位为向电气化过渡的关键技术),预计到 2027 年,欧洲 43% 的混合动力汽车将采用基于 CVT 的动力系统。

The global Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) market was valued at USD 20.22 billion in 2024, is projected to reach USD 21.95 billion in 2025, and is anticipated to grow to USD 43.90 billion by 2032, registering a robust CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period (2025-2032).
A Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) is an automatic transmission system that provides an infinite range of gear ratios for seamless power delivery. Unlike traditional gear-based transmissions, CVTs use a belt and pulley mechanism that maintains the engine's optimal speed, enhancing fuel efficiency, acceleration smoothness, and driving comfort. Owing to their ability to reduce mechanical losses and improve mileage, CVTs are increasingly used in compact cars, SUVs, and hybrid vehicles.
The market's expansion is primarily driven by rising demand for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles, regulatory emission targets, and technological innovation in transmission systems. Leading companies such as Toyota Motor Corporation, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., JATCO Ltd., Aisin Corporation, and Punch Powertrain dominate the global CVT industry through continuous R&D investments in lightweight, efficient, and hybrid-compatible CVT systems.
Market Trends
A defining trend in the CVT industry is the shift toward advanced, lightweight CVT designs. Innovations such as JATCO's CVT-XS, launched in October 2023, exemplify this evolution. Designed for small and mid-size front-wheel-drive vehicles, the CVT-XS achieves 90% transmission efficiency and incorporates a downsized mechanical oil pump, multi-plate clutch, and twin oil-pump system for smoother performance and reduced friction losses.
This lightweight design trend aligns with global emission mandates, such as the U.S. GHG/CAFE targets and the EU's "Fit for 55" plan, which emphasize reducing carbon emissions and improving fuel economy. Automakers are thus developing compact, high-efficiency CVT units that meet both performance and environmental goals.
Market Dynamics
Drivers - Rising Demand for Fuel Efficiency and Emission Compliance
The CVT market is expanding due to stringent global CO2 regulations and consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. In Europe, the "Fit for 55" initiative mandates a 55% reduction in average CO2 emissions by 2030, while in the U.S., the EPA's 2024 rules call for nearly a 50% cut in fleet-average greenhouse gas emissions by 2032.
CVTs directly support these goals by optimizing engine RPM, reducing fuel consumption, and improving vehicle efficiency by up to 4% compared to traditional automatics. Automakers such as Nissan and Toyota are integrating CVTs in both ICE and hybrid vehicles to meet corporate sustainability targets. For instance, Nissan and JATCO's $50 million investment in a U.K. EV powertrain facility will combine CVT technology with electric components for hybrid and mild-hybrid vehicles by 2026.
Restraints - Limited Torque Handling for Large Vehicles
Despite efficiency benefits, CVTs face challenges in high-torque and performance applications, such as heavy-duty SUVs and sports cars. The friction-based belt or chain mechanisms can overheat under high loads, leading to wear and slippage. Automakers like Subaru have implemented enhanced cooling systems to mitigate this, but the technology remains best suited for light-duty and mid-range vehicles.
Opportunities - Integration in High-Performance and Hybrid Vehicles
Advances in chain materials, lubrication systems, and electronic control units are expanding CVT applicability to performance and luxury vehicles. Innovations such as Bosch's CVT4EV project (2023)-featuring a steel belt that handles 400+ Nm torque-and ZF Friedrichshafen's "CVT-Sport" software (2024), which simulates stepped gear shifts for sporty driving, are revolutionizing the segment.
The growth of e-CVTs in hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) presents additional opportunities. By 2027, 43% of hybrid vehicles in Europe are expected to use CVT-based drivetrains, supported by Euro 7 norms and Japan's Green Vehicle Promotion Council initiatives that position CVTs as a key transitional technology toward electrification.
By Vehicle Type
The passenger vehicle segment, particularly SUVs, dominates the market due to global consumer preference for spacious, fuel-efficient vehicles. Automakers such as Ford and Toyota continue integrating advanced CVTs in crossovers and family cars. Light commercial vehicles are also adopting CVTs to meet fuel economy norms, while heavy commercial vehicles employ hydrostatic CVTs, valued at USD 3 billion in 2024, for industrial and agricultural use.
By Type
The belt-driven CVT segment led the market in 2024, favored for its cost-efficiency, simplicity, and smooth power delivery. It remains the most widely used configuration in passenger vehicles. Meanwhile, the chain-driven CVT segment is growing fastest, supported by demand for high-torque, performance-oriented vehicles such as SUVs.
By Component
Pulleys hold the largest market share, as they are central to adjusting transmission ratios for optimal performance. Belts/chains follow, with new steel and carbon-fiber designs improving durability and torque handling. Control units represent the fastest-growing component, driven by increasing adoption of smart CVT control software featuring adaptive algorithms and real-time diagnostics.
By Propulsion
The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) segment remains dominant in 2025, as CVTs are extensively used in compact and mid-size gasoline vehicles for fuel optimization. The Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) segment, however, is expanding rapidly as e-CVTs support seamless transitions between combustion and electric power. Though smaller, the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) segment is exploring CVTs for smoother power delivery and improved efficiency in specific applications.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific leads the market with a valuation of USD 8.32 billion in 2024, driven by robust automotive manufacturing in Japan, China, and India. Japan remains the hub of CVT innovation, with Toyota, Nissan, and Honda spearheading adoption. China's emissions targets and rising demand for small fuel-efficient cars further strengthen the region's dominance.
North America
North America holds a significant share, led by the U.S., where Nissan, Subaru, and Honda employ CVTs extensively to meet CAFE fuel economy standards. Growth in hybrid SUVs and sedans continues to drive regional expansion, with steady adoption in Canada and Mexico.
Europe
Europe's CVT market is expanding under strict Euro 6 and Euro 7 emission regulations. Germany, France, and the U.K. lead in compact and hybrid CVT-equipped vehicles. The region's fastest-growing segment is hybrid CVTs, which help automakers comply with CO2 reduction targets.
Rest of the World
In Latin America and the Middle East, CVT adoption is moderate but rising, with Brazil showing interest in budget-friendly CVT models. The Middle East & Africa market remains small, favoring traditional automatics for SUVs. However, hybrid-friendly policies may stimulate gradual adoption.
Competitive Landscape
The global CVT market is consolidated, led by JATCO Ltd., Aisin Corporation, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, and BorgWarner Inc..
Recent Developments:
Conclusion
The global CVT market is on a strong growth trajectory through 2032, supported by regulatory pressure for fuel efficiency, hybrid vehicle proliferation, and continuous innovation in transmission design.
