Automotive Balance Shaft Market Report by Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Commercial Vehicle), Manufacturing Process (Forging, Casting), Engine Type (Inline-3 Cylinder Engine, Inline-4 Cylinder Engine, Inline-5 Cylinder Engine, V6 Engine), and Region 2024-2032


The global automotive balance shaft market size reached US$ 14.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 22.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2024-2032.

An automotive balance shaft is fitted into an internal combustion engine (ICE) to reduce vibration by canceling unbalanced dynamic forces. It has eccentric weights that eliminate the need to balance the engine components while ensuring smooth operations. Nowadays, forged balance shafts are gaining adoption around the world on account of their compact dimension and effective inherent damping.

Automotive Balance Shaft Market Trends:

The boosting sales of passenger vehicles worldwide on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels represent one of the major factors bolstering the market growth. Automotive balance shafts help reduce engine noise, vibration, and harshness and ensure passenger comfort. Apart from this, the rising use of commercial vehicles, such as buses, trucks, taxicabs, trailers, and vans, in transportation and logistics is influencing the market positively. Moreover, the emerging trend of online shopping, along with the expanding global trade, is propelling the utilization of commercial vehicles in logistics for shipments. This, in turn, is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the growing working population is driving the need for interconnected mobility solutions that reduce road traffic and commute times and provide diverse travel options. This is offering lucrative opportunities to manufacturers for expanding their product portfolio and retaining a competitive edge in the market. Furthermore, stringent policies implemented by governing agencies of numerous countries to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from vehicles are impelling the market growth. This is also encouraging automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to incorporate balance shafts and improve fuel efficiency, thermal efficiency, and energy savings of vehicles. Besides this, market players are focusing on improving the design and efficiency of balance shafts, which is anticipated to stimulate the market growth.
