The Asia automotive camshaft market size is expected to reach USD 2.35 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.3% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing adoption of double overhead camshaft engines in passenger cars, coupled with stringent government standards associated with carbon emission, is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Rising pollution levels and the impact of global warming are compelling government authorities in the region to establish strict regulations related to vehicular emissions.
Such rules have enforced component suppliers to produce high-efficiency and lightweight components for domestic and international markets. The Indian government has instituted the Bharat stage emission standards to regulate the emission of air pollutants from various IC engine equipment, including passenger and commercial vehicles. To comply with such emission regulations, automotive manufacturers are increasingly adopting lightweight engines, thus driving the demand for automotive camshaft over the forecast period.
The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected overall automotive production. The range of restrictions announced by governments worldwide to contain the spread of the disease resulted in supply chain disruptions, with several production facilities coming to a halt. The pandemic also negatively affected passenger car and commercial vehicle sales, subsequently impacting the demand for automotive camshafts. However, with the revival of economies and the gradual relaxation of restrictions, the market is likely to witness significant growth over the forecast period.
The East Asia regional segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 42.5% in 2024 and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period. The regional market is projected to expand at the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2030 due to the high demand for passenger vehicles in Mainland China, followed by Japan. The market in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries is likely to witness significant growth due to a surge in disposable incomes and increased demand for passenger cars. Macro-economic factors, such as low-cost labor and tax incentives, are likely to attract investors and funding in these regions.
