Press Release

Automotive Crankshaft Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.

demand for high-performance engines in passenger and commercial vehicles, growing production volumes of internal combustion engine-based automobiles, and rising advancements in forging and casting technologies are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Automotive Crankshaft Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F”, The Global Automotive Crankshaft Market was valued at USD 3.85 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 5.10 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. The global automotive crankshaft market is gaining momentum due to rising engine manufacturing activities and the increasing number of vehicles being produced and sold globally. Manufacturers are focusing on making engines more efficient, which is pushing crankshaft designs toward lighter, stronger, and more efficient versions. Regulatory requirements concerning emissions have further accelerated this shift in design.

Innovations in metalworking techniques such as forging and precision machining have contributed to better performance and longer lifespan of crankshaft assemblies. Modern materials like micro-alloyed steel are being used more frequently. Turbocharged engines and smaller displacements require components that can endure higher stress while maintaining reduced mass, which is reshaping the manufacturing approach in this segment. Despite the growth, the shift to electric vehicles, which don’t utilize crankshafts, presents a potential obstacle. Yet, the consistent use of internal combustion engines in sectors such as freight and transport in emerging economies keeps demand steady. This opens opportunities for development and regional expansion in the coming years for companies in the crankshaft ecosystem.

Automotive Crankshaft Market Is Segmented by Material, Type, Vehicle Type, and Region.

The market for automotive crankshafts, when segmented by vehicle type, includes passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Each of these segments brings unique engineering and performance demands, leading to varied specifications and production volumes of crankshafts. Passenger vehicles, for instance, often require lightweight and compact crankshaft solutions that enhance fuel efficiency and driving smoothness. As passenger car models increasingly adopt advanced engine configurations such as turbocharging and hybrid technologies, the associated crankshaft designs are evolving to meet stricter performance and emissions standards.

On the other hand, commercial vehicles ranging from light trucks to heavy-duty trucks and buses require more robust and durable crankshafts that can endure high torque and extended operating hours. These applications demand stronger metallurgical compositions and advanced surface treatments to increase component life and reduce wear. Crankshaft producers catering to this segment often prioritize reliability and cost-efficiency, considering the high loads and rigorous use cycles in logistics, construction, and public transportation sectors. Manufacturers and designers are also aligning their product strategies with global trends, such as integrating crankshaft sensors and predictive maintenance features, particularly in commercial fleets. The diversity in application, usage intensity, and powertrain configurations across both vehicle types is shaping the demand, material selection, and manufacturing methodologies within the crankshaft industry.

Asia-Pacific emerged as the fastest-growing region in the automotive crankshaft market in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by an uptick in vehicle production across countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. The rise in domestic automobile manufacturing, coupled with export-driven strategies by several regional automakers, significantly contributed to the heightened demand for crankshafts. Infrastructure development and urbanization further stimulated commercial vehicle sales, reinforcing crankshaft consumption. The ongoing development of localized manufacturing ecosystems and cost-competitive supply chains allowed for large-scale production of crankshaft components within the region. Rapid adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies such as CNC machining and automated forging lines helped reduce production costs and improve quality control, making the region an attractive hub for crankshaft exports as well. Governments across several countries in the Asia-Pacific region have introduced policies to support automotive sector growth, including incentives for hybrid vehicles and internal combustion engine upgrades. These measures contributed to higher investments in component production facilities, including crankshafts. With a strong consumer base, expanding middle-class population, and increasing need for logistics and transport vehicles, the region maintained upward momentum in crankshaft market expansion during the year.
