The High Flexible Couplings join two shafts end to end in a straight line so that they may rotate at the same speed. Axial movement and shaft misalignment are also possible with these flexible shafts. Misalignment is utilized to soften vibrations and transfer torque from one shaft to another. It is frequently employed in fields such as the oil and gas industry, mining, industrial applications, and others where gearboxes with severe torque are necessary.
The automobile industry uses a variety of tools for testing and connecting a car to a trough. As a result, high flexible couplings are in high demand in this field. In addition, the Increase in use of electric vehicles internationally has expanded the market for high flexible couplings. Furthermore, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that 6.7 million plug-in electric light vehicles (PEVs) were sold in 2021. Moreover, governments have launched several programmed to maintain expansion of the automobile industry. For instance, Egypt adopted a national plan for localizing the automobile sector in June 2022. The plan intends to Increase footprints of Egypt in burgeoning vehicle markets of Africa and forge strong commercial and investment ties with key regional trading partners to achieve sustained development growth for all parties. Such government developments further accelerate the demand for high flexible couplings.
However, high flexible coupling is typically made of metal and specialized materials such as steel and aluminum, owing to their high strength. Any fluctuations in the prices of steel and aluminum thus make it difficult for the market players to stay profitable and decide on the budgets. For instance, the prices of hot rolled steel in the U.S. have Increased by more than 215% to $1,825 Ince March 2020. Prior to that, its prices have been in the range of $500 to $800 from at least 2017. Moreover, the prices of silicon metals Increased two-fold Ince COVID-19. Such fluctuations play an instrumental role in restraining the growth of the highly flexible coupling market.

Executive Summary
The High Flexible Coupling Market is likely to experience a significant growth rate of 3.4% from 2022-2032 owing to increasing market demand from oil & gas sector.The High Flexible Couplings join two shafts end to end in a straight line so that they may rotate at the same speed. Axial movement and shaft misalignment are also possible with these flexible shafts. Misalignment is utilized to soften vibrations and transfer torque from one shaft to another. It is frequently employed in fields such as the oil and gas industry, mining, industrial applications, and others where gearboxes with severe torque are necessary.
The automobile industry uses a variety of tools for testing and connecting a car to a trough. As a result, high flexible couplings are in high demand in this field. In addition, the increase in use of electric vehicles internationally has expanded the market for high flexible couplings.

Moreover, governments have launched several programmed to maintain expansion of the automobile industry. For instance, Egypt adopted a national plan for localizing the automobile sector in June 2022. The plan intends to increase footprints of Egypt in burgeoning vehicle markets of Africa and forge strong commercial and investment ties with key regional trading partners to achieve sustained development growth for all parties. Such government developments further accelerate the demand for high flexible couplings.
In addition, Rise in infrastructure development and construction activities across the globe drives the demand for high flexible coupling market. In addition, these couplings are used in various construction machinery such as excavators, cranes, and concrete pumps, to enable torque transmission and misalignment compensation. Furthermore, an increase in construction activities is anticipated to boost the demand for material-handling devices such as excavators and pullers. Moreover, major players that provide excavators in France include JCB, Volvo AB, and John Deere. For instance, in March 2020, J C Bamford Excavators Ltd launched its new 8025 ZTS mini excavator. It offers a 20.9 Kw Perkin engine with a weighing capacity of 2.8 tons. It also required high flexible coupling for better torque. It is most suitable for construction, and landscaping areas. The market for high flexible coupling is poised for growth with ongoing infrastructure projects in emerging economic and urbanization trends.
Moreover, high flexible coupling components are applicable in a variety of sectors, including steel & metal, electronic, medical, aerospace, defense, and manufacturing industries. Exponential rise in global population has significantly increased the demand for essential products such as electronics, home care, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries across developing nations such as India, China, and Africa. This increase in demand for consumer products has simultaneously fueled the need for manufacturing machinery, which, in turn, propels the use of automation components for production and maintenance of machinery. Moreover, rise in automation and robotics in variety of industries in production lines and other activities creates demand for automation components such as motors, gears, screws, sensors, high flexible coupling, and other components. Major players in the industry such as Bosch Rexroth, Emerson Electric Co., Nidec Corporation, and Parker Hannifin Corporation offer high flexible coupling for small- and large-scale industries. All such instances are expected to drive the highly flexible coupling market.
However, high flexible coupling is typically made of metal and specialized materials such as steel and aluminum, owing to their high strength. Any fluctuations in the prices of steel and aluminum thus make it difficult for the market players to stay profitable and decide on the budgets. For instance, the prices of hot rolled steel in the U.S. have increased by more than 215% to $1,825 since March 2020. Prior to that, its prices have been in the range of $500 to $800 from at least 2017. Moreover, the prices of silicon metals increased two-fold since COVID-19. Such fluctuations play an instrumental role in restraining the growth of the highly flexible coupling market.
In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, various manufacturers in the high flexible couplings market had to stop their business in countries, such as China, the U.S., and India. This break directly impacted the sales of high flexible coupling manufacturing companies. In addition, lack of manpower and raw materials also constricted supply of raw materials for manufacturing the high flexible couplings, which negatively influenced the growth of the market. However, reopening of production facilities and introduction of vaccines for coronavirus disease are gradually leading the high flexible coupling manufacturing companies to resume their regular manufacturing and services. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of companies at their full-scale capacities, that helped the market to recover by the end of 2021.
However, the demand for high flexible coupling is expected to grow with the increase in adoption of industrial automation and robotics. These coupling facilities smooth power transmission and compensate for misalignments in robotics arms, automated assembly lines, and material handling systems. In addition, the emergence of industrial automation and smart robotic applications platforms is an important factor for the overall growth of automation components market in manufacturing, aerospace, and other industries.
