Market Overview
The size of the global industrial gearbox market was around USD 29.3 billion in 2023, and it is expected to reach USD 30.5 billion by 2030, advancing at a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period.
One of the important factors that bolster the growth in the market is the escalating tendency of the farmers and the other sectors such as food processing, industrial manufacturing, and so on towards the adoption of these components. Besides, energy-efficient gearboxes are required in less electricity usage to reduce environmental impacts, which in turn will promote the demand for the gearboxes.
Automation technology is contributing to the growth of the robotics industry, which is increasing the industrial gearbox demand as this equipment is used for the accurate control of a robotic arm's speed and torque. The sustained growth of regions that deal with robotics and also new gadgets in the gearbox, thanks to development investments and constant product innovations, is the trend.
To cope with the rising global energy consumption, the executive Government is taking recourse to policies and schemes focused on the power generation sector. The use of industrial gearboxes in wind parks and hydroelectric power plants provides the most robust impetus for the growth of the market. In windmills, they connect the main rotary shaft given the alternator at two ends, while in hydroelectric plants, they are installed between the turbine shaft and the AC generator.
