(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dublin, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Tempered Steel Hollow shaft Market Global Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global tempered steel hollow shaft market is experiencing strong growth, supported by rising demand for lightweight, durable and high-performance power transmission components. The market is projected to increase from $3.44 billion in 2025 to $3.73 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. By 2030, the market is forecast to reach $5.21 billion at a CAGR of 8.7%.
Historical market growth has been driven by the expansion of heavy machinery manufacturing, increasing automotive production and rising demand for durable mechanical power transmission systems. Industrialization, infrastructure development and the continued use of established shaft designs in legacy equipment have also contributed to demand for tempered steel hollow shafts.
During the forecast period, manufacturers are expected to benefit from the shift toward lightweight, energy-efficient mechanical components. Growing adoption of electric vehicles, advanced drivetrain systems, aerospace technologies, robotics and automated manufacturing is creating new opportunities across the tempered steel hollow shaft market. Smart factories and precision engineering applications are also increasing the need for components that provide reliable torque transmission, material efficiency and extended service life.
Key tempered steel hollow shaft market trends include the adoption of lightweight shaft designs that improve automotive fuel and energy efficiency, as well as rising demand for high-strength products used in industrial machinery. Precision-machined hollow shafts are gaining traction in aerospace and robotics applications, while corrosion-resistant materials are becoming increasingly important in harsh operating environments. Advanced heat-treatment processes are also being used to improve mechanical strength, fatigue resistance and overall component durability.
Expansion of the construction and heavy equipment sector is a major market growth driver. Government infrastructure programs, economic development initiatives and investment in mining and large-scale engineering projects are increasing demand for reliable machinery components. Tempered steel hollow shafts provide the strength, reduced weight and load-bearing performance needed to improve the efficiency and operational reliability of construction and heavy equipment. In the United States, total construction spending reached approximately $1.97 trillion in 2023, up from around $1.84 trillion in 2022, according to Construction Coverage. This represented growth of approximately 7% and demonstrated the continued strength of construction activity.
Renewable energy expansion is also supporting tempered steel hollow shaft market growth. Wind turbines and other renewable power systems require durable transmission components capable of operating efficiently under demanding conditions. Tempered steel hollow shafts offer a combination of high strength, lower component weight and long-term reliability, helping renewable energy equipment maintain performance while reducing maintenance requirements. RenewableUK reported that total renewable electricity generation reached a record 144.7 terawatt-hours in 2024, compared with 135.8 terawatt-hours in 2023.
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles is creating additional demand for advanced hollow shaft technologies. Tempered steel hollow shafts are used in electric drivetrains and motor systems to deliver efficient torque transmission, high strength-to-weight performance and improved durability. These characteristics can help manufacturers reduce vehicle weight, enhance energy efficiency and improve overall drivetrain performance. Supportive government incentives, clean mobility policies and stricter emissions regulations continue to encourage electric vehicle adoption. According to the International Energy Agency, global electric car sales surpassed approximately 17 million units in 2024, rising from about 14 million units in 2023.
North America was the largest region in the tempered steel hollow shaft market in 2025, supported by established automotive, industrial machinery, aerospace and construction sectors. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period as manufacturing capacity, infrastructure investment and electric vehicle production expand.
