In the transportation sector, CFRP propeller shaft is used to transmit power to wheels or propellers in automobiles. Surging demand for an alternative to steel shafts is projected to create lucrative opportunities for the CFRP propeller shafts in the forthcoming years.

Also, benefits of CFRP propeller shafts such as excellent damping properties, longer shelf life, and high resistance to corrosion are likely to increase their demand in the automotive industry.

With rising usage of composite materials and improvements in the production of propeller shafts, prices of CFRP shafts are projected to decline in the forthcoming years, thereby bolstering the market.

Besides this, growing demand for lightweight and electric vehicles to achieve higher power efficiency and fuel efficiency is estimated to augment sales in the market.

Which are the Factors Bolstering Sales of CFRP Propeller Shafts?

The existing regulations to mitigate environment-related concerns such as carbon emissions are encouraging manufacturers to invest in research and development activities, which is expected to spur demand for advanced CFRP propeller shafts.

The exceptional properties of CFRP propeller shaft such as high tensile strength, stiffness, low weight, and fire resistance are anticipated boost its applications in the aerospace industry. In addition to this, increasing adoption of these shafts in the marine sector to achieve resistance to corrosion, weight reduction, and reduction of overload on engines during stormy weather will fuel sales.

Besides this, increasing demand for renewable sources for power generation is projected to augment the development of wind turbines. This, in turn, is expected to pave way for the application of CFRP propeller shafts in the forthcoming years.

Which Factors are Hindering the Application of CFRP Propeller Shafts?

High conductivity of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and its related consequences might limit sales of CFRP propeller shafts.

Increasing cost of CFRP materials compared to steel is anticipated to restrain the growth in the market. Additionally, the brittleness of CFRP leads to the disintegration of the internal structures, thereby hampering demand for CFRP propeller shafts.

Will Asia Pacific Dominate the Global CFRP Propeller Shaft Market?

Rising vehicular emissions and surging demand for fuel efficiency is encouraging consumers to adopt electric vehicles. CFPR propeller shaft enables weight reduction and power efficiency in electric vehicles. Driven by this, the adoption of CFRP propeller shafts in electric vehicles will increase, thereby augmenting the growth in the market.

Moreover, growing need for a cost-effective alternative to metal shafts in countries such as China and India is expected to increase sales in the region over the assessment period.

Which Factors are Propelling the Demand for CFRP Propeller Shaft in North America?

According to FMI, North America is estimated to hold a significant share in the market during the forecast period. Expansion of the automotive industry in the U.S. is projected to spur demand for CFRP propeller shaft in the region.

Growing government investments in research and development activities in the field of machinery industry or heavy industry are estimated to elevate the use of CFRP propeller shaft.
