Market Definition
Automotive balance shaft is a weighted shaft which has used for balancing the vibrations in vehicle engine. This system involves two shafts having equal weights and rotating in opposite direction to each other, producing a net vertical force. The centrifugal forces produced by shafts cancel out the vertical second-order forces which has generated by engine. Automotive balance shafts are mainly used in piston engines to decrease vibration by cancelling out the unautomotive balanced dynamic forces.
Automotive Balance Shaft Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing need for vehicle engines for reducing harshness, vibration and noise
Vehicle harshness, noise and vibration significantly affect the driving experience and vehicle performance. Many manufacturers of automobiles are consistently looking for the methods to reduce the harshness, noise and vibration in engines. Automotive balance shafts help reduce harshness, noise and vibration in the vehicle engine as it removes out the vertical second-order forces generated by the engine, though improving the performance and comfort of automobiles. Many automotive manufacturers of automotive balance shaft provide innovative solutions to increase the features of the automotive balance shaft to provide lower emissions, enhanced fuel economy and minimized vibrations and noise.
- Rising use of commercial vehicles
The increase in the use of commercial vehicles, such as trailers, buses, trucks, taxicabs and vans, in logistics and transportation is influencing the growth of the market positively. Furthermore, the developing trend of online shopping, along with the increasing global trade, is driving the use of commercial vehicles in logistics for shipments which are expected to enhance the demand of the automotive balance shaft in the market.
- Growing demand of inline 4-cylinder engines
Inline 4-cylinder engines are now a common engine configuration in automobiles. Many vehicles use inline 4-cylinder engines because it enhances engine affordability and fuel economy. However, these engines have second-order vibration which cannot be removed because of asymmetrical movement of connecting rods throughout the crankshaft rotation. These shafts are commonly used in inline 4-cyline engines to decrease these vibrations. Henceforth, a rise in demand for inline 4-cylinder engines is projected to upsurge the demand for the automotive balance shafts, which drives the market's growth.
Opportunities
- Rising the demand for eco-friendly automotive balance shaft
Furthermore, stringent policies which has implemented by governing authorities of many countries to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from vehicles will create immense opportunities for the market growth. This is also encouraging the manufacturers of automotive original equipment to improve fuel efficiency, thermal efficiency, incorporate balance shafts and energy savings of vehicles. Besides this, major market players are focusing on improving the efficiency and design of balance shafts, which is also create beneficial opportunities for the growth of the automotive balance shaft market globally in upcoming years.
Furthermore, the rising demand of the vehicle along with introduction of enhanced automotive balance shafts and increasing applications from emerging countries will further bring lucrative opportunities and will lead to the growth of the automotive balance shaft market in the abovementioned forecast period.
Restraints/ Challenges
- High cost associated with automotive balance shaft
Volatility in the prices of raw materials used to manufacture the automotive balance shafts in high-volume markets and the high cost of replacement will act as market restraint and obstruct the market's growth rate.
