Automotive Camshaft Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Manufacturing Technology (Cast Camshaft, Forged Camshaft, Assembled Camshaft), By Application Type (Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicles, Heavy Commercial Vehicles) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Rising growth of the automotive sector and also increasing investment in the automotive camshaft companies worldwide is expected to propel the growth of the market. Additionally, the rising trend of the engine downsizing owing to stringent government emission regulations is expected to be a factor for the generation of numerous opportunities for the market players. This is also expected to propel the development of the camshaft with lightweight and advanced capabilities. Increasing sales and production of passenger cars in the developed and developing countries is likely to boost the demand for the camshafts. There is steady growth in the commercial vehicle segment owing to the transformation and use of the advanced camshaft over the conventional camshafts.

For the better performance of vehicles, it is essential for perfect valve openings by the camshaft. So the camshaft is a crucial part of the automotive. The camshaft is manufactured majorly by chilled cast iron and billet steel material. The huge replacement cost of the camshaft and also the high maintenance cost of the camshaft are expected to restrain the growth of the automotive camshaft market over the forecast period.

Key Players Covered in the Automotive Camshaft Market:

Some of the major companies that are present in the automotive camshaft market include MAHLE GmbH, Thyssenkrupp AG, Newman Cams, Piper RS Ltd., Camshaft Machine Company, Schrick, PCL India, among others.

Market Segmentation: 

The global automotive camshaft market has been segmented into manufacturing technology, application, and region. By manufacturing technology, the global automotive camshaft market is segmented into cast camshaft, forged camshaft, and assembled camshaft.
