Global Side Shaft Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Side Shaft market size is expected to reach $ 7354 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 1.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
The Side Shaft provides the dynamic connection between engine and driving wheels, transmitting power and allowing steering angles whilst accommodating suspension movements and isolating vibrations. Each side shaft has two constant velocity joints – a fixed joint at the wheel end and a plunging joint at the gearbox end, connected by an interconnecting shaft. Automotive Side Shafts play a vital role in the operation of any vehicle. It ensures optimum delivery of power to the wheels of the vehicle. This report is about automobiles using side shaft.
The side shaft market is primarily driven by the global growth in automobile production, particularly in the passenger and electric vehicle segments. As front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive systems become more common, the demand for high-performance side shafts increases to ensure efficient torque transfer and ride stability. Additionally, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicles, which require compact and efficient drivetrain components, has led to increased innovation in lightweight materials, enhanced durability, and advanced CV joint technologies, fueling further market expansion.
Despite positive growth trends, the side shaft market faces several challenges, including cost pressures from automakers seeking more affordable components. The increasing complexity of modern drivetrains—especially in EVs—requires precise engineering and advanced materials, which can raise production costs. Furthermore, supply chain disruptions, fluctuating raw material prices (e.g., steel and alloy metals), and the need for continuous quality assurance create hurdles for manufacturers. Intense competition from aftermarket and low-cost suppliers also puts pressure on established OEM vendors to innovate while maintaining profitability.
