Consumers are increasingly interested in vehicle specifications & on-road performance, which are becoming increasingly important to manufacturers to keep their vehicles interesting. Pushed by consumer demand coupled with a reduction in the cost of technology, the industry is witnessing an increasing penetration from sports cars to passenger vehicles.

COVID-19 had a devastating impact on the dual clutch transmission (DCT) market owing to a massive dip in commercial activities and retail spending. The contagious spread of the disease has mandated countries across the globe to formulate new rules and regulations, resulting in strict countrywide lockdown and the formation of micro-containment zones to stop the virus from spreading. Suspending economic activities was the earliest move taken by several governments to reduce the risk of virus spread, resulting in a massive fall in automobile sales followed by a dip in consumer confidence.

Many consumers have also delayed their automotive purchase, and some canceled their existing orders owing to changing proprieties to essential buying. With the establishment of government SOPs and guidelines, trade & travel are expected to resume in a limited capacity, providing a positive outlook for the automobile sector.
