Global Automotive Drive Shafts Category - Procurement Market Intelligence Report
About Automotive Drive Shafts Market
The global automotive drive shaft market deals with automotive mechanical components used to transmit torque and rotation from the engine transmission to the drive axle. This is required because of design restrictions of drive trains, where various components cannot be connected due to relative distance or movement required. Based on the type, the market can be segmented into one-piece drive shaft, two-piece drive shaft, and slip-in tube drive shaft.
The global automotive drive shafts market will experience growth, owing to increased vehicle production, demand for a lightweight drive shaft for better fuel efficiency, and use of composite material that increases the purchase price for buyers.
