自動車用クランクシャフトの市場規模、シェア、動向分析レポート：クランクシャフトタイプ別、材料別、製造プロセス別、車種別、地域別、セグメント別予測、2025年～2033年

自動車用クランクシャフト市場の概要

自動車用クランクシャフトの世界市場規模は、2024年に49億8,110万米ドルと推定され、2033年には72億7,940万米ドルに達すると予測され、2025～2033年のCAGRは4.5%で成長すると予測されます。自動車用クランクシャフト市場は、新興市場における内燃機関車（ICE）や商用車の生産台数の増加、軽量かつ高強度なクランクシャフト材料に対する需要の高まり、精密鍛造やCNC機械加工などの先進的製造技術の統合などを背景に、勢いを増しています。

OEMがエンジン効率、耐久性、性能の向上に注力する中、クランクシャフトはより厳しい公差と強化された冶金特性で再設計されています。さらに、高性能合金と表面治療の採用は、メーカーが進化する規制と性能ベンチマークを満たすのに役立っています。ビレットクランクシャフト、特に高性能車やプロトタイプの電気自動車への関心が高まっており、その優れた疲労強度とカスタマイズ性により、大きなビジネス機会がもたらされています。しかし、さまざまな荷重や材料に対して寸法精度と耐疲労性を維持することは、エンジニアリング上の課題となっています。

新興市場における内燃機関車（ICE）と商用車の生産台数の増加が、自動車用クランクシャフトの需要を大きく牽引しています。中国、日本、インドなどの国々では、堅調な内需と輸出の増加に支えられ、自動車製造が堅調に成長しています。India Brand Equity Foundationによると、2023年のインドの年間自動車生産台数は2,590万台に達し、二輪車と乗用車が大半のシェアを占めます。2025年（4月～9月）の自動車生産台数は1,560万台を超え、自動車部門の回復力を反映しています。このように内燃機関車と商用車の生産台数が持続的に伸びているため、クランクシャフト部品に対するニーズが高まっています。

現在、メーカーは燃費の向上、排出ガスの削減、エンジン性能の強化にますます注力しています。鍛造鋼、ビレット鋼、アルミニウム合金などの先端材料を使用することで、エンジンの高負荷に耐える強度と耐久性を維持しながら、大幅な軽量化が可能になります。軽量クランクシャフトは、燃費と運転効率が重要な高性能車、ハイブリッドモデル、商用用途で特に重宝されています。例えば、高性能スポーツカーや高級車では、パワーウェイトレシオを最適化するためにビレットスチールクランクシャフトが採用されることがよくあります。

精密鍛造は、クランクシャフトの機械的特性を向上させ、高い応力下で作動する最新のエンジンに不可欠な耐疲労性と構造的完全性を確保します。CNC機械加工は、より厳しい公差と複雑な形態を可能にし、厳しいOEM仕様を満たすクランクシャフトを生み出します。この技術シフトは、生産サイクルの高速化、コスト効率、多様な車種へのカスタマイズをサポートします。例えば、高性能車メーカーや小型商用車メーカーは、耐久性と軽量化の要件を満たすために精密鍛造クランクシャフトを採用することが増えており、市場拡大を推進する上でこれらの技術の重要性が高まっています。

高強度鋼の塊から機械加工されるビレットクランクシャフトは、耐久性、精度、過酷な条件下での性能に優れ、高馬力用途やモータースポーツに最適です。さらに、自動車メーカーやEV新興企業が高性能な電動パワートレインの開発を進める中、ビレットクランクシャフトは、強度、軽量化、信頼性が重要なハイブリッド車やレンジエクステンダー車への応用が検討されています。この動向は、レース、高級スポーツカー、出力と効率の向上を求める次世代電気自動車やハイブリッド車などのニッチ市場を対象とするクランクシャフト専門メーカーに新たな道を開いています。

クランクシャフトは主にスチール合金を使用して製造されるが、その価格は世界の商品市場の変動により不安定な状態が続いています。例えば、鋼材の世界平均価格は2020年の1トン当たり約500米ドルから2024年には750～800米ドル以上に上昇し、製造コストに大きな影響を与えています。加えて、鍛造プロセスは、特に精密鍛造と熱処理段階において多大なエネルギー投入を必要とし、運営経費をさらに増大させています。こうしたコスト圧力は、中小規模の製造業者にとって特に困難であり、世界市場における競合と拡大性を制限しています。

Automotive Crankshaft Market Summary

The global automotive crankshaft market size was estimated at USD 4981.1 million in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 7279.4 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2025 to 2033. The automotive crankshaft market is gaining momentum, driven by increasing production of internal combustion engine (ICE) and commercial vehicles in emerging markets, rising demand for lightweight yet high-strength crankshaft materials, and the integration of advanced manufacturing technologies such as precision forging and CNC machining.

As OEMs focus on improving engine efficiency, durability, and performance, crankshafts are being redesigned with tighter tolerances and enhanced metallurgical properties. Additionally, the adoption of high-performance alloys and surface treatments is helping manufacturers meet evolving regulatory and performance benchmarks. The growing interest in billet crankshafts, particularly for high-performance and prototype electric vehicles, presents a significant opportunity due to their superior fatigue strength and customizability. However, maintaining dimensional accuracy and fatigue resistance across varying loads and materials continues to pose an engineering challenge.

The increasing production of internal combustion engines (ICE) and commercial vehicles in emerging markets is significantly driving the demand for automotive crankshafts. Countries including China, Japan, and India are witnessing robust growth in vehicle manufacturing, supported by strong domestic demand and rising export activities. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, India's annual automobile production in 2023 reached 25.9 million units, with two-wheelers and passenger cars accounting for the majority share. In 2025 (April-September), total vehicle production surpassed 15.6 million units, reflecting the resilience of the automotive sector. This sustained growth in ICE and commercial vehicle output is boosting the need for crankshaft components, as manufacturers scale up to meet both local and global market requirements.

Today, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and enhancing engine performance. The use of advanced materials such as forged steel, billet steel, and aluminum alloys enables significant weight reduction while maintaining the required strength and durability to withstand high engine loads. Lightweight crankshafts are particularly valuable in performance vehicles, hybrid models, and commercial applications where fuel economy and operational efficiency are critical. For instance, high-performance sports cars and premium vehicles often employ billet steel crankshafts to optimize power-to-weight ratios.

Precision forging enhances the mechanical properties of crankshafts, ensuring greater fatigue resistance and structural integrity, which are essential for modern engines operating under high stress. CNC machining allows for tighter tolerances and complex geometries, resulting in crankshafts that meet stringent OEM specifications. This technological shift supports faster production cycles, cost-efficiency, and customization for diverse vehicle types. For example, high-performance and commercial vehicle manufacturers increasingly adopt precision-forged crankshafts to meet durability and light-weighting requirements, reinforcing the relevance of these technologies in driving market expansion.

Billet crankshafts, machined from a solid piece of high-strength steel, offer superior durability, precision, and performance under extreme conditions, making them ideal for high-horsepower applications and motorsports. Additionally, as automakers and EV start-ups increasingly develop high-performance electric powertrains, billet crankshafts are being explored for hybrid and range-extender applications where strength, weight reduction, and reliability are critical. This trend is opening up new avenues for specialized crankshaft manufacturers targeting niche markets such as racing, luxury sports cars, and next-generation electric or hybrid vehicles seeking enhanced power delivery and efficiency.

Crankshafts are predominantly manufactured using steel alloys, the prices of which have remained volatile due to fluctuations in global commodity markets. For instance, the average global price of steel rose from approximately USD 500 per metric ton in 2020 to over USD 750-800 per metric ton in 2024, significantly impacting manufacturing costs. Additionally, forging processes require substantial energy inputs, particularly in precision forging and heat treatment stages, further adding to operational expenses. These cost pressures are especially challenging for small and mid-sized manufacturers, limiting their competitiveness and scalability in global markets.
