Factors Affecting the Growth of the Automotive Drive Shaft Industry:
- Rising Demand for EVs
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is transforming the automotive drive shaft market. EVs have lightweight, high-performing drive shafts in order to maximize efficiency and range while reducing weight. Manufacturers are leveraging advanced materials, such as carbon fiber, to meet these requirements. Traditional drive shafts are being re-evaluated as automakers ramp up EV outputs and researchers look to innovate with a better understanding of the requirements for the drive shaft. As the demand for innovative drive shafts increases, manufacturers are investing heavily into R&D because EV compatibility is going to require new designs. In addition, such market conditions are strengthened by the increasing compression of global emission regulations, shifting traditional automotive players toward electrification.
- Lightweight Material Adoption
In an effort to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, automobile manufacturers are choosing lighter weight materials such as aluminum and composites. Drive shafts, designed and made using these materials, have higher strength to weight ratios to improve vehicle performance. This trend is especially prevalent within premium and performance vehicles where reducing weight is paramount. Suppliers are currently developing economically viable manufacturing solutions to make lightweight drive shafts available to a larger number of vehicle manufacturers. As sustainability influences production design, the viability of longer-lasting, more eco-friendly materials will drive consideration of growth in this market.
- Aftermarket Growth
The aftermarket sector of the drive shaft market is growing as a result of the increasing average age of vehicles on the road and the need for wear-and-tear replacements in this segment of the automotive aftermarket. Today, both consumers and fleet operators are seeking aftermarket replacements that represent value and high-quality over original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. As this trend continues to evolve, we expect increasing competition amongst suppliers for durable and affordable alternatives. Additionally, the growing popularity in customization and performance enhancement is driving demand for more specialized aftermarket driveshafts. As the average lifetime of vehicle ownership increases, so does the need for available replacement products that will continue to emerge in the aftermarket drive shaft market. Therefore, the aftermarket sector of the drive shaft market will become an increasing source of demand in the automotive drive shaft market going forward.
