  Camshaft Market: Introduction According to the report, the global  automotive camshaft market  is projected to surpass ~ US$ 27 Bn  by  2027 , expanding at a CAGR of  ~3%  during the forecast period. Asia Pacific and Latin America are anticipated to witness high growth in vehicle production and subsequently, estimated to boost the camshaft market during the forecast period. Expansion of Camshaft Market Increased adoption of double overhead camshaft (DOHC) engines in order to achieve more power is expected to drive the camshaft market. The DOHC type engine utilizes two camshafts per cylinder block, i.e., 2 camshafts in an inline engine and 4 camshafts in v engine. Increase in the number of camshafts per engine, owing to a rise in the demand for DOHC engine is projected to drive the camshaft market. The expansion of the automotive industry in developing countries such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico is boosting the camshaft market. Vehi...

An automotive camshaft is a vital component in an automobile’s engine. It finds immense application in the internal combustion engine. In an automobile, internal combustion engine occurs by allowing small amounts of fuel and air mixture into various parts of an engine at different times through a number of valves. The camshaft is a metal shaft, which rotates continuously and pushes protruding parts such as lobes against the valves carrying the fuel and air mixture. As the camshaft rotates, the movement of the lobes open the valves. The lobes are generally round teardrop shaped or oval. There is one lobe in the camshaft for every valve as each valves are positioned differently to push open each and every specific valves at different times. In order to have a better performance of a vehicle, it is extremely important to have camshafts that can time the opening of valves perfectly. The two major materials used for the manufacturing of camshafts are chilled iron castings and billet s...
