The global automotive drive shaft market size reached US$ 15.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 21.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.97% during 2022-2028.
An automotive drive shaft refers to a motorized component that transfers the power produced by the engine from the gearbox to the rear axle and front axle to move the vehicle. This torque is transferred between components that are separated by distance. It consists of the inboard constant velocity joint, connecting shaft, and outboard fixed joint generally made using steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber. An automotive drive shaft is strong and lightweight and can absorb engine torque, perform well under stress, and withstand extreme temperatures, due to which it is commonly used in commercial and passenger vehicles. Other product benefits include low running costs, smoothness, absence of oil spills, reliability, and clean operation.

Automotive Drive Shaft Market Trends:
The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Automotive drive shaft enhances durability and efficiency while optimizing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance. In line with this, inflating fuel prices and the implementation of various government initiatives to control emission levels are favoring the market growth. Apart from this, manufacturers are inclining toward fiber-reinforced polymer composites over steel to manufacture lightweight automotive drive shafts. Such advancements assist in maintaining the performance and rigidness of the drive shaft, increasing fuel efficiency, and providing higher torque capacity, which is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, key players are adopting clean manufacturing processes, such as electron beam welding, that offer a high level of reliability with no oxidation. This, in turn, is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing demand for hollow shafts, rising disposable incomes, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities in the automotive industry, are supporting the market growth.Key Market Segmentation:
