Changing consumer needs, such as better vehicle performance requirements, improved fuel economy, enhanced driving experience and growing stringency of carbon emission regulations and norms have led to tremendous changes and developments in drive shaft market. While fuel efficiency is the major driver for the growth of automotive drive shafts market, other factors, such as customer demand for comfort, driving habits, and initial cost are also affecting the market growth. On the other hand, to meet stringent carbon emission norms, automakers and suppliers are investing heavily in the research & development activities to improve vehicle performance, which is also helping the improvement of side shafts.

Following stringent emissions and fuel efficiency regulations in developed regions, the penetration of hollow drive shafts is estimated to be higher in North America and Europe. The market is further estimated to increase with rising production levels after the economic downturn. Given the customer-preferences for fuel efficiency, the regional adoption is varied in these regions. North America is projected to witness a higher demand for hollow drive shafts by 2020, given the growing demand for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles in this region. The high rate of technological adoption in these regions is also a driving factor for growth of this market.

A related research titled Global and China Automotive Drive Shaft Market Report, 2015 says China needed 62.44 million automotive drive shafts in 2014, of which 79% came from passenger vehicles. Up to now, Chinese automotive drive shaft companies have been capable of developing and producing drive shafts for construction machinery, commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. However, most of domestic drive shaft producers are small sized and focus on low- and mid-range products, compared with a lower proportion of high-precision, high technical content and high value added products, especially high-end constant velocity (CV) drive shaft market, which is still dominated by foreign brands. XuchangYuandong Drive Shaft Co., Ltd. is the largest non-CV drive shaft manufacturer in China, producing mainly drive shafts for varied construction machinery including light, medium-duty and heavy trucks, pickups, SUVs, buses, loaders and cranes. In 2014, the company sold 3.5007 million drive shafts, up 19.06% from 2.9402 million units in 2013, mainly due to significant rise in sales of light drive shaft arising from adjustment in sales structure.

WanxiangQianchao had drive shaft capacity of 4 million units and sold 3.29 million units in 2014. The production of drive shaft is chiefly undertaken by Qianchao Transmission Shaft Co., Ltd., which has 5 factories and 1 research institute, producing mainly drive shafts, steering columns, EPS and other auto parts. Due to a fiercely competitive drive shaft market, the company underwent a decline in drive shaft utilization to 83% in 2014 from 97% in 2013.
