Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/06/2017 -- Increasing operational performance, improving drivability and ensuring safe transport of cargo and passengers is the one of the top priority of automobile manufacturers. With increasing acceptance of hybrid and electric vehicles and integration of smart and connected technologies, manufacturers are concentrating on improving power and drivetrain systems encompassing components such as clutch, transmission, propeller shaft and rear axle. Depending upon its position and application, an axle serves different functions of steering and transmission. A propeller shaft serves the purpose of transmitting torque and rotation along with other drive train components.

Automotive Axle and Propeller Shaft: Market Dynamics

Escalating vehicle production to meet the everyday increasing demand of thriving global population is one of the pivotal factors influencing revenue sales of automotive axle and propeller shaft market. In addition, the growth of automotive axle and propeller shaft market is further propelled by the thriving aftermarket demand for propeller and axles in emerging economies. However, increased component cost and additional vehicle weight are the two factors that can act as a challenge to the automotive axle and propeller shaft market. With vehicle weight pivotally influencing vehicle performance, the adoption of light weight propeller shaft is gaining traction. Apart from body and frame, some of the leading car manufacturers such as Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo, have incorporated carbon fibre propeller shafts in some of their models. With increasing adoption of electric vehicles, critical focus over power train and axle system is expected to bring significant changes in terms of component and system design and material utilization in automotive axle and propeller shaft market during the forecast years.
