Gear Box and Gear Motor Global Market Report 2024

The gear box and gear motor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.3 billion in 2023 to $17.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the rapid expansion of heavy machinery, early adoption in aviation and aerospace, pioneering industry applications, the impact of world wars and defense machinery, and the ascent of automation and robotics.

The gear box and gear motor market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the demand in the renewable energy sector, expansion in automation and industrial robotics, emphasis on lightweight and compact solutions, the rise in Industry 4.0 implementation, and a growing preference for energy-efficient solutions. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the development of maintenance-free solutions, customization and tailored solutions, a focus on noise reduction and vibration control, the adoption of gearless direct drive systems, and a growing emphasis on electric vehicles (EVs).

The anticipated expansion of the construction industry is poised to drive the growth of the gearbox and gear motor market. The construction industry encompasses activities related to the planning, design, development, renovation, and maintenance of physical structures and infrastructure. Gearboxes and gear motors play a crucial role in heavy construction equipment such as bulldozers and excavators, regulating the speed and torque of hydraulic systems for precise tool and attachment movement. For example, Statistics Poland reported a 3.8% increase in completed residences in the first half of 2022, with developers completing 62,900 homes (up 3.7%) and private investors completing 44,900 dwellings (up 6.0%). This surge in residential building construction is a driving force behind the gearbox and gear motor market's growth.

Increased investments in power generation are also expected to propel the growth of the gearbox and gear motor market. Power generation involves converting various forms of energy into electrical energy for widespread use. Gearboxes and gear motors are integral in this process, efficiently transmitting and converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The International Energy Agency's World Energy Investment report in July 2022 forecasts global energy investments of USD 2.8 trillion in 2023, with over USD 1.7 trillion directed towards clean technologies. The report predicts a 24% increase in yearly clean energy investment between 2021 and 2023, underscoring the positive impact on the gearbox and gear motor market.

Economic instabilities are anticipated to pose challenges to the gearbox and gear motor markets in the forecast period. During economic uncertainty, businesses may curtail capital spending, delaying industrial expansion plans and reducing demand for gearboxes and gear motors. Global supply chain disruptions during economic instability can lead to production slowdowns and increased costs due to component shortages, affecting various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive. The International Monetary Fund's projection of a decline in global growth from 3.4% in 2022 to 2.8% in 2023 highlights the potential impact of economic instabilities on the gearbox and gear motor markets.

Major companies in the gearbox and gear motor market are increasingly focusing on developing customized industrial gearboxes to enhance their market revenues. Customized gearboxes are tailored transmission systems designed to meet specific application or industry requirements. For instance, Dana Incorporated launched the Brevini S-Series industrial planetary gearboxes in January 2022, specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of biogas production and wastewater treatment facilities. These gearboxes, with maximum output torques of up to 290 kNm, facilitate efficient heat transfer and uniform temperatures in digesters for producing fuel-quality biogas. The incorporation of water- and corrosion-resistant seals in these gearboxes enhances their suitability for wastewater treatment plant applications.

In April 2022, Flender AG acquired Moventas for an undisclosed amount, aiming to broaden its product offerings in wind turbine gearboxes and strengthen its position in the wind energy market. Moventas, a Finland-based renewable energy equipment manufacturer, specializes in providing mechanical power transmission equipment, including wind turbine gearboxes.
