The expansion of the automotive industry and the electric vehicle sector is anticipated to drive the growth of markets for speed changers, industrial high-speed drives, and gears in the future. The automotive industry encompasses a range of companies and organizations involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of motor vehicles. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, are automobiles powered by electricity, usually through one or more electric motors, rather than relying on an internal combustion engine that uses gasoline or diesel fuel. Speed changers, industrial high-speed drives, and gears are crucial in the automotive and electric vehicle sectors for enhancing power transmission, boosting vehicle performance, and facilitating efficient energy transfer within drivetrains, transmissions, and electric propulsion systems. For example, MarkLines, a Japan-based provider of automotive industry forecasts, reported that in October 2023, auto sales in the USA rose by 2% compared to the same month in 2022. The sales volume for new vehicles in October 2023 totaled 1,211,141 units, reflecting a 2% increase from October 2022. Additionally, Autocar Professional, a B2B automotive magazine from India, noted that in the first half of 2023, retail sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in India exceeded 700,000 units, reaching a total of 721,971 units, which accounts for 73% of India’s record EV sales in 2022. Thus, the growth of the automotive sector and electric vehicles is significantly contributing to the expansion of the speed changer, industrial high-speed drive, and gear markets.
