The automotive camshaft market is projected to increase from USD 10,662.70 million in 2024 to USD 11,056.49 million by 2034, with an expected CAGR of 3.70% over the next decade.
Market Drivers
Demand for automotive camshafts is anticipated to rise significantly, especially in the emerging economies of Asia. This surge is largely due to a growing interest in and affordability of passenger cars in these markets. Additionally, the increasing availability of funding for the expansion of manufacturing facilities is further contributing to market growth.
The overall expansion of the automotive industry is driving up sales of automotive camshafts. In response to this growing demand, manufacturers are ramping up their production facilities to ensure adequate supply.
Technological Advancements
Leading automotive manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen are rapidly integrating variable valve timing (VVT) technology into their new models to enhance engine performance. The rising demand for high-performance vehicles equipped with VVT technology is expected to further boost camshaft sales.

Latest Developments Shaping the Automotive Camshaft Market
- In July 2023, INNengine, a Spanish company, developed a distinctly small engine, which is claimed to be small but powerful. The company is targeting this ‘one-stroke engine’ in the direction of the EV segment. This engine does not contain camshaft, crankshaft, cylinder head, or valves.
- In March 2022, Allegro MicroSystems Inc. launched two new giant magnetoresistance (GMR) camshaft and crankshaft sensors. These sensors provide manufacturers with a single-vendor solution suitable for hybrid vehicle engines. Its use cases extend to off-road vehicles, two-wheelers, and application designs with the demand for air gap performance. These sensors are expected to help engine designers lower cost and energy consumption and decrease system complexity.
