A drive shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.

Scope of the Report:
This report focuses on the Automotive Drive-Shaft in global market, especially in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa. This report categorizes the market based on manufacturers, regions, type and application.
Global automotive drive-shaft market is correlated to the rising sales of vehicles across the globe, since all passenger cars and commercial vehicles are equipped with drive-shafts. Major automobile manufacturers already planned to increase their production capacity of vehicles. Automotive industry is facing major challenges from government stringent laws to reduce carbon foot prints and to increase fuel efficiency of vehicles. To overcome the challenges major automotive component manufacturer are spending huge amount of capital on product innovation. Drive-shaft being the major part of drivetrain system of vehicle, automotive component suppliers introduced innovative technology such as carbon composite drive-shaft in order to improve performance and to reduce weight. The nanotechnology used in carbon fiber reduces the overall weight drivetrain system and provide increased torque by increasing shaft's longitudinal and hoop stiffness. Moreover, carbon composite drive-shaft is much more efficient than aluminum drive-shaft and is majorly used in high-end variants and supercars. The aftermarket sales of carbon composite drive-shaft have grown over the past few years, majorly driven by the performance cars enthusiasts.
The worldwide market for Automotive Drive-Shaft is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly xx% over the next five years, will reach xx million US$ in 2023, from xx million US$ in 2017, according to a new study.
