Automotive Axle and Propeller Shaft Market

Global Automotive Axle and Propeller Shaft Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global automotive axle and propeller shaft market was valued at USD 24 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 24.77 billion in 2024 from USD 31.87 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.20% during the forecast period 2024 to 2032.

The axles bear the whole weight of the automotive, cargo, and travelers, and live axles play out the extra errand of giving the torque to the wheels. The capacity of a propeller shaft is transmitting torque and revolution alongside different parts of the drive train.

In the vehicle plan, the vehicle design delineates where on the engine vehicle the motor and drive wheels are found. A few different mixes of driven wheels and engine location are incorporated into practice, and the situation of each is dependent on the use of which the engine automobile will be used. Attributes controlling the arrangement alternative comprise of cost, multifaceted design, constancy, packaging, mass appropriation, and the engine automobile expected to deal with factors.

The worldwide vehicle axle & propeller shaft market is by, and large firmly determined by the increasing automobile production all around and developments in design that is centered on supportability and eco-friendliness. The growth of this market is additionally invigorated by the flourishing aftermarket interest in vehicle axles and propellers in developing nations. Furthermore, a decrease in the general support of the automobile is another factor triggering the worldwide market demand. The interest for vehicle axles and propeller shafts is represented by an increment in production and deals of cars internationally and an increment in client interest for calmer lodge & expanded solace in automobiles.

Market Drivers

The rise in interest in eco-friendly automobiles is likely to offer an opportunity for the major players in this market to offer reduced expense and lightweight items that additionally maximize the fuel efficiency of motors. Furthermore, lessening the maintenance price of the automobile is another variable that fuels the market.

Global Automotive Axle and Propeller Shaft Market Analysis By Type

Single-piece propeller shaft leads the automotive axle and propeller shaft market during the estimated time frame. The variables that fuel the development of this sector are price-effectiveness as well as its whole durability. The single-piece propeller shaft is utilized more than the multi-piece propeller shaft mainly due to its reduced weight with increased fuel efficiency. The single-piece propeller shaft becomes an ideal alternative for the less distance between the motor and the rear axle. 

Live axle is anticipated to account for the most significant share of the market during the foreseen period between 2020 and 2025. Live axle fuels the wheel attached to it alongside supporting the weight of the vehicle. Rising customer preference towards SUVs and RWD passenger vehicles as well as steady development in total automobile manufacture have boosted the growth of the live axles market.

Global Automotive Axle and Propeller Shaft Market Analysis By Vehicle Type

Axle and propeller shaft market for passenger cars is dominating among other automobile types and is estimated to maintain its dominance through the estimated time frame, 2020-2025. This is primarily because of the increment in the number of passenger automobiles in nations, for example, China, India, the U.S., the UK, and Japan.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

RECENT HAPPENINGS IN THE GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE AXLE AND PROPELLER SHAFT MARKET 

• Several hundred new railcars are being furnished with the inventive lightweight ZF gearbox: E-Rail SH 11 F-N. On account of its aluminum lodging, it is 15 percent lighter than the items that are as of now accessible on the North American market. Volume manufacture of the item custom-fitted to satisfy the nearby prerequisites is done in the US.
• MarineShaft provides fix administrations for marine propeller shafts, including straightening. Even the most extreme twists can be set. Regularly similar straightness as another shaft can be accomplished and regardless of where on the planet the propeller/rudder harm happens, a fixing is frequently the most gainful arrangement.
• The Propeller shaft introduced by Jtekt corporation offers a three-partition structure, and slide-type steady speed widespread joints are perceived to enhance serenity.
• The Bosch eAxle is an across-the-board electrical powertrain. Its parts — electric engine, powerful hardware, and transmission — are joined in a single conservative framework. That lessens the number of components, spares space, and makes the powertrain unit less mind-boggling — all of which improves efficiency and cuts expense.
