This market research report identifies GKN, American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, and ZF Friedrichshafen as the key vendors in the global commercial vehicle propeller shaft market. This report also presents a detailed analysis of the market by application (LCVs and M&HCVs) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
Overview of the global commercial vehicle propeller shaft market
Technavio’s market research report predicts that the global commercial vehicle propeller shaft market will grow at a CAGR of above 6% during the forecast period. The rising demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is one of the primary drivers for market growth. The shifting prices of fuel and slow growth in the number of freight order has resulted in the larger preference for commercial vehicles that offer higher fuel efficiency. Commercial vehicles fitted with lightweight propeller shafts are will offer 10% more fuel efficiency than the vehicles with heavy propeller shafts and can maintain speed without any additional stress on the engine. Since the huge amount of power required to rotate the drivetrain components will reduce the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, truck fleet operators are conducting several trials and tests to increase the fuel efficiency of vehicles. This will increase the demand for lightweight drivetrain components, which will in turn, fuel the growth of the market since light-weight propeller shafts improve the efficiency of the engine and lower fuel costs.
The rising demand for propeller shafts made of carbon fiber will be one of the latest trends that will contribute to the growth of the commercial vehicle propeller shaft market. Light rotational mass of a carbon fiber propeller shaft provides more engine power to the rear wheels in a commercial vehicle and improves the horsepower of the rear wheels by about 10%. The sturdiness of carbon fiber propeller shafts allows the engine to reach its peak power without any damages to the propeller shaft. Unlike steel and aluminum propeller shafts, carbon fiber propeller shafts allow more engine revs to achieve effective pulling capacity. Moreover, carbon fiber propeller shafts are less susceptible to bends compared to their steel and aluminum counterparts due to their increased torsional spring rate.
