Definition And Overview

Automotive drive shafts are motorized components employed for the purpose of providing torque from the transmission to the differential; this torque is then transmitted to the wheels in order to move the vehicle. These components are made up of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber. Drive shafts are used differently in different vehicles such as cars motorcycles, locomotives, and marine vessels. In cars the configurations are different for front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and the front-engine rear-wheel drive.

The increasing demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to augment the growth of the Automotive Side shafts Market during the forecast period. The vehicle manufacturers are putting all their efforts into manufacturing the most efficient electric vehicles. Moreover, driveshaft manufacturers are updating their product list to supply the best products to the OEMs to gain market share.

The increasing demand for lightweight components is anticipated to augment the Global Automotive Side shafts Market in the years to come. This is due to the majority of the present and upcoming electric vehicle models are all-wheel drives (AWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD), which is expected to generate a huge demand for lightweight.

The major factor which is expected to hamper the growth of the Automotive Side shafts sensor market is the high cost associated with the replacement of drive shaft. The drive shaft is the bar that drives the wheels of a vehicle. The rubber gaiters which are located at each end of these shafts prevent the bearings at the end of the drive shaft damaging from water. Once moisture has gone past the gaiter the drive shaft will fail to work and increase the costs of replacements.
