Countries such as China, the United States, and Norway are continuing to see stronger demand for electric vehicles. Automakers are planning to launch more electric vehicle models in the coming years. The majority of the present and upcoming electric vehicle models are all-wheel drives (AWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD), which will generate demand for lightweight driveshaft in the forecast period.
Increasing driveshaft recalls and demands from the aftermarket channel due to increasing vehicles in use is driving the market growth. For instance, In December 2020, American Honda will conduct two recalls for around 430,000 Acura and Honda vehicles in the United States. If needed, the company will be replacing their drive shafts for free.
Key Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Electric Vehicles Driving Growth
At the global level, the sales of electric vehicles have been growing positively over the past three years. The global sales of EVs in 2020 increased by 39% year on year to 3.1 million units, where the total passenger car market declined by 14%. China is leading the electric vehicle market. The sales of electric vehicles in China are growing at a rapid pace. Approximately 1.3 million new energy vehicles were sold in 2020, which represents 41% of the global EV sales, just behind Europe with 42% of global EV sales. China is still far ahead of the United States for EV share – in the United States, EV sales represented just 2.4% of sales in 2020.
As the demand for electric vehicle is growing, vehicle manufacturers are putting all their efforts in manufacturing the most efficient electric vehicles, and the driveshaft manufacturers are updating their product list to supply the best products to the OEMs to gain the market share. For instance,
- In February 2021, Volta Trucks, the full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, confirmed the appointment of Meritor as the strategic drivetrain component supplier for the Volta Zero. This major purchasing milestone will support the delivery of Volta Zero vehicles for customer trials during 2021 and the start of series production around 12 months afterward.
- In March 2021, Nexteer Automotive, a leader in intuitive motion control, made an announcement that it continues expanding its Driveline portfolio with new Halfshaft technologies that are tailored to meet the unique demands of electric vehicles (EVs). Nexteer's Halfshaft technologies solve EV challenges by enhancing durability and efficiency while optimizing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance and low mass.
