Historic Market Outlook for Automotive Axle and Propeller Shaft

The market analysis for automotive axles and shafts from 2018 to 2022 exhibited a historical growth rate of 1.9% CAGR. The global manufacturing of vehicles has decreased in 2020 as a result of the automotive sector losing a sizeable portion of the market due to recent covid limitations and the rising pandemic restrictions. Axles and propeller shafts suffered as a result of the pandemic's significant impact on the manufacturing sector, which also had an adverse effect on the powertrain components such as axles and propeller shafts. Tightening pollution regulations and disruptions in the component supply chain have had an influence on production of vehicles.

However, as a result of increasing dynamic demand for vehicles after the Covid pandemic, automobile production has recovered. The market for electric vehicles will grow as a result of quick technology improvements in the automotive industry, shifting consumer preferences, and supportive regulations. According to the most recent FMI analysis, the market is expected to grow at a rate of 3.7% between 2023 and 2033 and create an absolute dollar opportunity of about US$ 14.3 billion.
