Expansion of Automotive Half Shaft Market
Vehicle production across the globe declined in 2018 and 2019 as compared to that in 2017; however, consumer preference toward utility vehicles increased. Automakers have registered increased penetration of sports utility vehicles and multi-utility vehicles globally. Furthermore, the advent of vehicle drive technology has prompted automakers to develop vehicles with all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD). The demand for AWD vehicles is increasing, owing to a rise in the demand for stability, safety, and driving dynamics from end users. AWD vehicles offer better traction in harsh weather conditions and off-road applications, along with increase in fuel efficiency as compared to that offered by conventional drivetrains. An increase in the rate of adoption of such vehicles is directly proportional to an increase in the demand for propeller shafts.
Furthermore, it is essential for automakers and suppliers to adopt fuel saving and emission-reduction technologies such as vehicle shafts. Lightweight shafts help automakers comply with stringent emission norms, thereby driving the demand from automakers. This, in turn, is estimated to propel the automotive half shaft market.
Segmentation of Automotive Half Shaft Market
Based on vehicle, utility vehicles is a highly attractive market segment, owing to increase in demand globally. Moreover, utility vehicles have been highly popular in North America and the Middle East; however, demand for these vehicles increased significantly since 2015, thus the segment is likely to be a key consumer of half shafts. Increasing penetration of four-wheel drive vehicles is projected to be a key factor driving the automotive half shaft market. In terms of materials used for the manufacturing of the half shafts, the steel segment followed by the aluminum segment accounted for major share of the global market. The development of various vehicles technologies and lightweight materials coupled with a rise in the demand for vehicle lighting to enhance the performance and efficiency of the vehicle is likely to drive the composite material segment during the forecast period.
