The global automotive constant velocity joint market revenue was around US$ 3 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ 4.9 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2031.

The term "constant velocity joint" (CV joint) refers to a part put on a drive shaft that enables the drive shaft to transmit power across a varied angle while maintaining a constant rotating speed. It is found in all-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

Vehicle production and sales are rising in several developing nations, which is anticipated to stimulate the market.

The desire for lightweight constant velocity joints and the demand for commercial vehicles are the two main reasons propelling the growth of the automotive constant velocity joint market.

Installation problems and varying costs for the raw materials required to make CV joints are predicted to impede the market growth.

Study of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market. Due to the Government enacted a lockdown global supply chains and sales of equipment were halted. However, vaccinations made it possible to ease restrictions on commerce, as well as travel both domestically and abroad. After the removal of the limits, travel swiftly recovered, leading to an increase in vehicle commutation, which is anticipated to drive growth in the market for automotive constant velocity joints.

Regional Insights

Asia-Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue. Due to the robust expansion of the automotive industry across all categories and rising consumer preference for improvements in fuel-efficient automobiles. These factors fuel the market in this region.
