According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Drive Shaft Market is accounted for $5.70 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $10.71 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. Some of the factors such as growing vehicle production, enhanced driving experience, increasing demand for low carbon footprint, and fuel-efficient vehicles are propelling the market growth. However, the fluctuating cost of raw material and growing electric vehicles are hindering the market growth.

Drive Shaft is, also called as driving shaft, propeller shaft or Cardan shaft. It is a mechanical component used to connect with other components of a drive train, which is not possible to connect directly. The growing concern for fuel efficiency motivates the manufacturers to develop lightweight drive shafts without impacting on their performance and rigidness.

Based on the drive shaft type, the multi-piece segment is likely to have a huge demand due to the growing reputation of pick-up trucks, which evidence high penetration of multi-piece drive shafts, thus driving this segment. Furthermore, the penetration of the multi-piece drive shaft is getting higher due to an increase in the command for SUVs and four-wheel drive vehicles. Moreover, a surge in focus toward the development of high performance vehicles and automotive components is expected to drive the multi-piece segment of the market during the forecast period.

By geography, the Asia Pacific is estimated to have a lucrative growth due to the high production of vehicles and a rise in the command for premium and luxury vehicles among developing countries of the region. This market is directly influenced by vehicle production and sales. The availability of major component manufacturers and the presence of major automotive manufacturers in the region are key factors attributed to the notable share held by the Asia Pacific of the global automotive drive shaft market.
