Drive shaft is a component in automotives for transferring the torque from the gearbox to the wheels of the car. The global drive shaft market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) identifies new trends and opportunities for automotive manufacturers owing to safety and damages issues caused by driving on rough and uneven terrains. The report consists of projections for the industry for the forecast period (2020-2027) coupled with effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The global drive shaft market is bound to accrue huge sales over the forecast period owing to increasing production of four-wheeler drive and expansion of the automotive sector. Development of fuel-efficient vehicles and stringent norms for lighter drive shafts to cater to stringent emission norms can drive the global market demand significantly. Launch of BS-6 certified vehicles as well as scrapping of older vehicles can bode well for the market. The use of aluminum for reducing inertia and vibration damping can boost the drive shaft market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the global market demand. The dip in international travel and disruption in trade agreements had cut down global demand in 2020. But the gradual reopening of economies is likely to push business prospects and bode well for the market.
But production of electric vehicles can be a direct threat to market growth. High costs of installation and maintenance charges can also deter the market.
