Fluid Transfer System Market by Propulsion & Component (Petrol/Gasoline, Diesel, CNG, Battery Electric, Plug-In Hybrid Electric), System Type, Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, LCVs, Trucks, and Buses), and Region - Global Forecast to 2032

The fluid transfer system market is projected to reach USD 29.95 billion in 2032, from USD 23.93 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 3.3%.

The fluid transfer system market is poised for steady growth, supported by increased vehicle production, stricter emission standards, and broader adoption of advanced mobility technologies. The demand for fluid transfer systems is also driven by their critical role in managing fuel, air, oil, coolant, and other fluids essential for performance, efficiency, and safety across ICE and electric vehicles. The shift toward premium passenger cars is expanding the use of advanced air conditioning, suspension, and emission control lines, while stricter regulations such as BS-VI and Euro 6 are boosting demand for SCR, DPF, and EVAP lines. Similarly, the growing penetration of EVs is driving new opportunities for thermal management components, including battery, motor, and power electronics cooling lines.

“Suspension systems are expected to show a significant growth rate during the forecast period.”

The suspension systems segment in the fluid transfer system market is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period, driven by rising demand for improved vehicle stability, comfort, and handling. Components related to suspension fluid transfer, such as hydraulic suspension lines, air suspension lines, shock absorber hoses, and anti-roll hoses, are vital for maintaining vehicle stability, minimizing body roll, and allowing adjustable ride height and load management. In passenger cars, trends toward premiumization are accelerating the adoption of air suspension and advanced damping systems, while in commercial vehicles, hydraulic and air suspension lines are essential for durability and load control. The shift to electric buses further boosts demand, as these vehicles increasingly utilize air suspension systems to ensure smoother rides and offset battery weight. As manufacturers invest in advanced suspension technologies to meet consumer expectations for comfort, performance, and safety, the suspension segment is becoming one of the most promising growth areas in the fluid transfer system market.

“Passenger cars are expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period.”

The passenger cars segment is expected to account for the largest share of the fluid transfer system market during the forecast period, driven by both volume growth and rapid adoption of advanced vehicle technologies. Increasing demand for premium and mid-range vehicles is expanding the use of air suspension systems and dual-zone or rear-seat air conditioning, boosting requirements for specialized air suspension and A/C fluid transfer lines. Stricter emission standards worldwide, such as BS-VI in India and Euro 6 in Europe, are accelerating the adoption of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) lines, as well as other exhaust after-treatment components. At the same time, growing penetration of hybrid and electric passenger cars is creating new opportunities for battery, motor, and DC-DC converter coolant hoses, adding to the traditional demand for fuel and lubrication lines. This combined effect of regulatory compliance, rising comfort features, and electrification ensures that the passenger car segment will remain the largest and most dynamic market for fluid transfer systems.

“Europe’s fluid transfer system market is expected to witness notable growth during the forecast period.”

Europe is expected to experience significant growth in the fluid transfer system market during the forecast period, supported by its well-established automotive manufacturing base, leadership in technology, and strict regulatory frameworks. The region is home to top OEMs such as Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Stellantis, Volvo, and Scania, along with Tier-1 suppliers and fluid transfer specialists like TI Fluid Systems, Continental AG, Gates Corporation, and Parker Hannifin, which ensure continuous innovation and large-scale supply capability. Regulatory changes, including the Euro 6d standard and the upcoming Euro 7 regulations, are increasing demand for advanced emission control lines, exhaust gas recirculation pipes, and thermal management hoses to meet tightening CO2 and NOx reduction standards across passenger cars, trucks, and buses. Electrification is rapidly expanding in both passenger vehicles and heavy commercial trucks, creating opportunities for new product categories such as battery coolant hoses, thermal lines for inverters and motors, and specialized EV climate control tubing. Plug-in hybrid vehicles also support dual demands, maintaining requirements for conventional fuel and oil lines while opening up opportunities in EV cooling and heating systems. Europe’s strong truck and bus manufacturing sector, led by Daimler Truck, MAN, Iveco, and Volvo, is further increasing demand for durable high-pressure fuel lines, SCR and EGR assemblies, and thermal hoses, as fleets work to meet stricter emission standards and electrification goals.
