According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global industrial gear market size is expected to grow from USD 2,04.1 billion in 2021 to USD 342.2 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2030. The industrial gear consists of various types of gear such as spur gear, helical gear, planetary gear, worm gear, rack and pinion gear, and many more that has huge application in various industries, including automotive, agricultural machinery, aviation, construction machinery, material handling and many more. Industrial gear provides a wide range of transmission ratios, easy processing, and efficiency in industrial equipment. The key market players are increasing efforts to provide quality and reliable gear types better to serve the huge diversified industrial demand worldwide. Additionally, the growing demand for industrial gear from the automotive and construction industry has tremendously increased the market's growth.
The spread of coronavirus across the globe has resulted in lockdowns in the countries, which has compelled people to stay at home and forced companies to allow their employees to work at home to contain the spread of the epidemic. Every element has been affected, from raw material suppliers to manufacturers and end users. Factories and production facilities have been forced to remain closed due to lockdown and social distancing measures, resulting in a sharp drop in the sales of industrial gears market on a global level. Moreover, it further affects the business of its end-use industries, who opt for such tools as their versatile benefits, which may negatively influence the market growth amidst the pandemic.
Moreover, due to lockdown or limited production, the disruption in the supply chain of materials has affected industrial gears manufacturers due to shortages from China, as most of the materials were imported from China. Additionally, the other countries were looking for supply, which increased the demand, led large suppliers to dominate the market, and prioritized big companies over SMEs at the recovery time. Industrial gear manufacturers rely on the supply chain and over-rely on suppliers of key components, and their weak negotiation power will lead to a casting, high precision components, and others.
However, the market will gain traction with investments in new technologies like gearboxes interface with digitized controls through an ever more sophisticated array of sensors and self-diagnostic devices, fostering the industrial gears market growth. This will further enhance the demand amid advancement in manufacturing industries. Moreover, positive measures and innovative marketing strategies need to practice by companies to build up their business subsequently the post-COVID-19 pandemic.
The key aspect that drives the growth of the global industrial gears market includes the increased demand for gearboxes from the construction industry coupled with the growing building and construction industry. Moreover, the growing demand for industrial gearboxes in the construction industry to enhance the operational efficiency of conveyors, crushers, plastic extruders, etc., further bolstered the market growth. Besides, Spur gearboxes, helical gearboxes, coaxial helical inline gearboxes, and bevel helical gearboxes are some of the most prevalent different products. These devices provide several benefits, including increased operating output, reduced workload, torque maintenance, vibration and noise management, and so forth. As a result, industrial gearboxes are used in a various industry, including metal and mining, construction, food and beverage processing, power generation, marine, material handling, agriculture, and automotive.
Moreover, construction equipment demand will likely rise as ambitious infrastructure programs and advanced ongoing projects. Industrial gear is a necessary component in the production of construction and industrial equipment, and Asia Pacific demand is one of the major factors driving the market. Similarly, advanced technology adoption in the mining, industrial machinery, power plants, and oilfields sectors is expected to boost demand for industrial equipment in the near future.
The gearbox is the most widely used transmission equipment in the field of machinery, thus its normal and smooth operation is difficult. When a gearbox fails, particularly if there are oil leakage issues, it can result in safety accidents and reduced economic benefits for businesses and waste oil use. The impacts of gearbox oil leaks, and the effective control and prevention strategies, are diverse, including leakage issues at the oil leak hole site, leakage of the oil lubrication distribution pipe, breakdown of fastener pre-tightening torque during gearbox maintenance to meet the standard requirements for leakage, and leakage issues that may occur if the reducer that enforces oil bath splash lubrication does not meet the requirements for filling the oil.
The oil leakage problem will arise in various degrees during the continuous load operation of the gearbox due to factors such as design process, production and manufacture, pressure, and vibration. The mechanical industry workers reported that the following elements contributed to the oil spill based on their work experience and the oil leakage issue created by cranes, excavators, and steel-grinding gears.
The emergence of numerous advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, for automated and highly efficient industrial purposes will continue to create opportunities for the global market for industrial gearboxes. The various major players are focusing on the launches of technologically advanced products. For instance, in March 2020, Martin Sprocket & Gear, Inc. assisted customers involved in producing essential products in these challenging times with COVID-19. A chemical company in Georgia received customized items from the company, which will support in the creation of cleaning products. Besides, ABB Ltd plans to extend its product line to suit its customers' needs by offering both customized and standard products. In addition, the company is engaging in strategic collaborations and acquisitions with well-known competitors in order to stay competitive in the market and expand its business operations globally, including in India.
In October 2020, WEG developed the W12 electric motor, designed to satisfy the needs of industrial applications such as gearboxes and pumps with greater efficiency and performance. It is an extremely versatile device since it complies with IEC 56, 63, and 71 housings and allows the connection box to be placed on the side or on the top, all in the same product. The flange alternatives C-90, C-105, and FF115 in polymer and C-80 in aluminium, incorporated in the motor frame, are manufactured by the quick fit system of the feet in the frames (snap fit), dimensioned not to utilize fixing screws. Furthermore, Siemens AG spent around US$ 6.3 billion on research and development in 2019. As a result, the company has developed innovative and long-term solutions for its clients. The company has also revealed its “Vision 2020+” strategy to boost profitability and develop its portfolio through improved innovation and quality-oriented productivity.
The study categorizes the industrial gear market based on product type, distribution channel, and application area at the regional and global levels.
Based on the application, the market is divided into automotive, mining equipment, aviation, agricultural machinery, power plants, construction machinery, material handling, oilfield equipment, pulp and paper, steel and manufacturing, and others.
