The global Automotive Propeller Shaft market size is projected to reach approximately USD 49,000 Million by 2030, at a CAGR of 9% from 2022 to 2030. Automotive propeller shafts are mechanical components that act as the link between different parts of a vehicle's drive train. They transmit torque and drive wheels, allowing the vehicle to move in a controlled fashion.
The COVID-19 virus has spread across the globe and has been classified as a pandemic. In March 2022, the announcement of coronavirus as a pandemic led to lockdowns in the majority of countries. Governments of many countries have been passing legislation & implementing policies that have made work outside the office not just manageable, but also downright necessary. However, manufacturers are providing automation and robots to reduce human interaction in the industry which should support the growth of the automotive propeller shaft market. The use of technological advances like AI, robotic machinery, and other innovative machinery during the pandemic is not only helping businesses to be more productive but ensuring their continuity.
The Automotive Propeller Shaft market is expected to grow over the next few years. This is due to increasing demand for propeller shafts and improved engine performance. The market's growth is also driven by environmental concerns such as rising fuel prices, increasing pollution, and air-quality issues. Automotive manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D to innovate their product lines. One of the major focuses for auto manufacturers is to develop lighter materials and reduce fuel consumption. The development of these lighter materials will then drive a market that has been long in need of improvement.
One of the main factors in the growth of this market is technology innovation in materials. Automotive industry growth and vehicle sales all allow for more people to start buying this product. The future of the car propeller shaft is bright and innovative. Technologies that reduce weight in vehicles are advancing, which will revolutionize the automobile market. Sales of new vehicles have been steadily increasing for a while, and this will increase demand for propeller shafts. Propeller shafts are important to the vehicle's movement and can provide enough torque for the vehicle to keep running smoothly.
Propellers are a part of the automotive industry, but their market has been stagnating for the past few years. One factor that has been holding back this market is the high cost of production. As a result, propellers are often made from cheaper materials like plastic and fiberglass which makes them weaker and less durable.
The Automotive Propeller Shaft market has a huge potential in the future because of the increasing demand for electric vehicles, lack of oil reserves, and rising global population. The industry is expected to grow as more people are driving electric cars and developing new types of propulsion systems. The market is driven by factors such as increasing demand for electric vehicles and growing need for affordable hybrid and alternative propulsion systems, increased research and development activities in the automotive industry, and growing infrastructure  Â
