Market Synopsis:, Drive shaft is an essential part of vehicle driveline and is basically a spinning tube that connects to the rear of the transmission and transmits the spinning power that begins in the engine to the back of the vehicle at the differential. Drive shaft is used for carrying the torque from the clutch and transmission as required to driving axle or to rear axle of the vehicle. The drive shaft works as a medium to transfer the power generated by the engine to the wheels, enabling them to turn and drive the vehicle. The drive shafts are manufactured with specific allowance for some small degree of movement at the points where the drive shafts are connected to sustain under a twisting or spinning motion. Additionally, a drive shaft enables the function with an axle and CV joint and allows the transfer of torque from transmission to the wheels. This allows the vehicle to be driven at the required speed., The increasing vehicle sales and the increase in the development of automotive industry are factors expected to boost the demand for drive shafts during the forecast period. Moreover, the increasing demand for light weight drive shafts to meet the demand for fuel efficient vehicles with the stringent norms posed by the international emission control authorities create growth opportunities for the global drive shaft market during the forecast period. However, the increasing demand for electric vehicle, all over the world is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period., Segmentation: Drive Shaft Market, , The global drive shaft market is segmented based on vehicle type, design, position, and region. On the basis of vehicle type, the market has been segmented into passenger cars, light commercial vehicle (LCV), and heavy commercial vehicle (HCV). On the basis of design, the market has been segmented into hollow drive shafts and solid drive shafts. On the basis of position, the market has been segmented into front drive shaft and rear drive shaft., Geographically, the global drive shaft market has been segmented into four major regions, which are North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and t
