The global automotive axles market size is projected to reach USD 39.78 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Development of advanced axles by companies will be a crucial growth driver for this market, shares Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Automotive Axles Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application Type (Front Axle and Rear Axle), By Axle Type (Drive Axle, Dead Axle, and Lift Axle), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Car, Light Commercial Vehicle, and Heavy Commercial Vehicle) and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027”. Automakers and component manufacturers are constantly exploring new technologies to enhance the efficiency of their vehicles and are giving a high amount of attention to automotive axles.
For example,
in 2017, Bosch introduced its electric axle drive, or e-axle, powertrain, which
unifies three powertrain components in a single unit, ensuring lower
development time for automakers and increased efficiency. Similarly, in 2019,
Kinetic Engineering Limited announced the development of axle assemblies as
well as two-speed gearboxes for electric vehicles, which will be in the form of
a kit, made ready-to-fit onto the vehicles. Thus, the growing presence of such
advanced axle solutions will benefit the market in the long run.

DRIVERS & RESTRAINTS-
Falling Revenues & Plant Closures amid
COVID-19 to Constrain Market Growth
The COVID-19
pandemic has caused a severe downturn in the automotive industry, primarily
because of a drastic decline in market demand for cars and other vehicles as
majority of the working population worldwide has shifted to remote working. As
a result of the steep drop in demand, prominent companies in this market are
grappling with shrinking revenues and reduced profits. For example, ZF
Friedrichshafen announced in May 2020 that it will be slashing 15,000 jobs over
the next five years at its plants across the globe owing to the frozen demand
for cars amid the coronavirus pandemic. Another major market, Dana
Incorporated, reported a loss of USD 174 million in the second quarter of 2020
due to lower sales in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Large
automakers have been hit as well by the pandemic, with several of them being
forced to close some of their plants. Fiat Chrysler, for instance, announced
the closure of its plants in Poland, Serbia, and Italy in March 2020. These unfavorable
developments will inevitably affect the automotive axles market growth as the
coronavirus has disrupted investment plans of most of the players in the
automotive industry.
