Description

The global continuously variable transmission systems market size reached USD 23.2 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 35.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.69% during 2025-2033.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) system refers to an automatic transmission system that changes through an uninterrupted range of different gear ratios. It has a two-pulley mechanism with variable diameters connected on either end of the engine and the wheels by a belt or chain. Also known as stepless transmission, pulley transmission and single-speed transmission, the CVT system effectively replaces gears with two variable-diameter pulleys. As a result, it offers useable power and driving convenience as compared to automatic transmission systems. Moreover, the CVT system is extremely fuel-efficient and provides maximum speed at low engine speed. They are also light-weighted, compact-sized, and consist of fewer moving parts, making them suitable for diverse automotive applications.

Continuously Variable Transmission Systems Market Trends:

The global CVT system market is driven by various advantages, such as a smooth driving experience and quick acceleration for users. It also offers more useable power and consumes less fuel than conventional and manual transmission systems. As a result, the CVT system finds applications in tractors, snowmobiles, motor scooters, go-carts, and mix harvesters. Nowadays, consumers are shifting toward eco-friendly vehicles, which utilize CVT systems. It also consists of enhanced hydraulic systems, microprocessors, high-strength steel metal belts, and high-speed sensors, which help boost the handling capacity of the engine. Furthermore, several manufacturers, like Toyota, are producing hybrid, electric mid-sized hatchback models, which are equipped with power-split CVT technology. It offers a fixed gear ratio and higher torque handling capability, which are expected to escalate the demand for CVT systems.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
