The automotive drive shaft is a motorized element, which is employed to transport the torque from one end of the vehicle to the other end, for example, from the engine prior to the wheels of the vehicle. Automotive drive shaft is made up of steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber. Aluminum is preferred as it is light and sturdy, thereby allowing the drive shafts to be balanced. Therefore, this produces more speed for rotating and also lowers the general weight of the car. Aluminum drive shafts reduce the overall weight of the car and make the vehicle to consume less fuel. Therefore, these overall properties of drive shafts are estimated to fuel the growth of the global automotive drive shafts market over the forecast period.

COVID-19 scenario analysis:
Hollow shafts are expected to witness faster growth with increase in sales of electric vehicles. This is estimated to drive the growth of the automotive drive shaft market during the forecast period. Moreover, increase in adoption of electric vehicles can act as a restraint to the growth of the global automotive drive shaft market. Furthermore, growth in demand for aluminum propeller shaft is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the global automotive drive shaft market.
The global automotive drive shaft market trends are as follows:
Weight reduction in the automotive industry has been a major concerning factor for innovators and manufacturers. A majority of passenger cars use hollow shaft as a drive shaft, owing to the advantages offered by these shafts when compared to solid drive shafts. Hollow drive shaft of same mass as of solid drive shaft performs in same manner without resulting in a failure. Therefore, this is leading to the growth of the global automotive drive shaft market.
Sales of electric vehicles have been projecting a positive growth over the past years, and it is estimated to continue to gain more customers in the coming time. Moreover, many electric vehicle manufacturing companies plan to launch more electric vehicle models in the coming years. In addition, major automotive companies are also shifting their focus toward the electric vehicle segment, owing to their concern for the environment and increasing prices of fuels. Therefore, this is projected to boost the growth of the global automotive drive shaft market.
