 IAWD system market in the Americas: The recent increase in the sales of SUVs and crossovers will drive the market for IAWD system in the Americas.

According to Abhay Sinha, a lead analyst at Technavio, specializing in research on powertrain, “IAWD systems are largely found on imported light trucks. OEMs are increasingly introducing IAWD systems into the mid-size variants of light trucks and crossovers to boost their sales and attract customers.”

Moreover, most of the light-trucks being rear wheel drives do not require complicated changes in their chassis for installing an IAWD system.

IAWD system market in APAC: Increasing preference for SUVs and crossovers in China is driving the market for IAWD system in APAC. Chinese customers prefer SUVs with smaller engines and mid-sized crossovers as they offer better fuel efficiency and sufficient interior space. Moreover, crossovers and SUVs manufactured by domestic automakers offer less expensive vehicles compared with their foreign counterparts, thus, reducing the switching cost for the Chinese customers.

IAWD system market in EMEA: The automotive industry in Europe has been moving towards an active approach to safety. Multiple driver assistance technologies are being developed that intend to prevent crashes from happening. Along with this, the growing demand for SUVs in Europe is essentially driving the market for IAWD systems in the region.
