Market Overview:
The global market for automotive balance axles was estimated at $10,027 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $14,848 million for 2026, with a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2026. Even if the engine is well balanced. An automotive balancer shaft is integrated to compensate for vibrations generated by the engine. A balance shaft is made either by casting or forging. In forging, the shaft is formed by rolling with a steel bar. It should be noted that forged balancer shafts are lighter and more compact and can provide more effective damping than cast balancer shafts.
Market value and expected growth:
It is estimated that the Asia-Pacific region dominates the market, with a market share of around 57% in 2021. China is the main buyer of the equilibrium market in the Asia-Pacific region. The global demand for balance axes in the automotive sector is due to the growing demand for in-line 4-cylinder engines and the increase in trends in fuel efficiency, reduction of CO2 emissions, and reduction of weight. It is estimated that Europe ranks second in the market, with a market share of 19% in 2021. The main operators in this market are Germany, Great Britain, France, and Spain, all of which have a high production of vehicles. The global market for automotive balancing shafts was estimated at $10,027 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $14,848 million by 2026, with a CAGR of 5.58 to 2026.
Market drivers and restrictions:
The demand for "Inline-4 Cylinder Engine" is growing all over the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The demand for environmentally-friendly vehicles is increasing due to strict government regulations on emissions. OEMs in the automotive industry are integrating the balancer shaft into vehicles to provide reduced/insignificant noise, vibration, and hardness to vehicle engines. All of the above factors are driving the growth of the global equilibrium axis market. OEMs are increasingly using aluminum shafts to gain weight and strength.
The growing importance of electric vehicles and the increasing sales of sport utility vehicles and luxury vehicles with high-performance engines are hampering the growth of the global balance shaft market.
