An industrial gearbox is a closed system designed for the transfer of mechanical energy from one device to another, primarily employed to increase torque while reducing speed.
The main types of industrial gearbox include planetary, helical, bevel, spur, worm, and other variations. The planetary system involves a collection of gravitationally bound non-stellar objects in or out of orbit around a star or system of stars. These gearbox designs encompass parallel axis, angled axis, and other configurations, serving various applications in construction and mining equipment, automotive, industrial, power generation, marine, and other industries.
The industrial gearbox market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides industrial gearbox market statistics, including industrial gearbox industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an industrial gearbox market share, detailed industrial gearbox market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the industrial gearbox industry. This industrial gearbox market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The industrial gearbox market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.39 billion in 2024 to $33.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in the manufacturing industry, strong economic growth in emerging markets, and a growing demand for electric vehicles.
The industrial gearbox market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.55 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising adoption of industrial automation, rising urbanization, and increasing adoption of in-built robots. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on technological advancements, product innovations, faster-digitalized automation in industries, new product launches, and mergers and acquisitions.
The growing adoption of industrial automation has significantly driven the industrial gearbox market. Industrial automation systems are computerized solutions that control and monitor processes, machines, or devices to perform repetitive tasks, designed to operate independently and reduce human labor in businesses. For example, in September 2023, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported that in 2022, robot installations reached an annual total of 290,258 units, surpassing the previous record set in 2021 and reflecting a growth rate of 5%. Therefore, the increasing adoption of industrial automation has been a key factor propelling the industrial gearbox market.
The industrial gearbox market is expected to receive a boost during the forecast period due to the rising adoption of in-built robots. Robotics, an amalgamation of science, engineering, and technology, is witnessing extensive integration into industrial operations. According to Zippia, 88% of businesses in 2022 expressed the intention to invest in incorporating robotics into their operations, with 2.7 million industrial robots currently in operation worldwide. The manufacturing of these robots and their associated products necessitates the use of industrial gearboxes, establishing a substantial driver for the market's growth in the forecast period.
The trend towards faster digitalized automation in industries is another significant factor shaping the industrial gearbox market. This trend involves the accelerated integration of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics, to enhance operational efficiency, boost productivity, and reduce costs. Companies aim to transform their facilities into smart factories where processes are automated and systems are interconnected via IoT. Schneider Electric, a provider of energy management and automation solutions, launched its Industrial Digital Transformation Services to assist industrial enterprises in achieving end-to-end digital automation. This trend is expected to drive the adoption of automated processes and contribute to the increased use of automated equipment, including industrial gearboxes.
Companies are strategically focusing on launching new products with advanced features to cater to diverse end-user industries. Many companies in the gearbox market have introduced new products to meet the growing demand. For instance, in September 2022, Premium Transmission, a gear and gearbox manufacturing company in India, unveiled new products in the industrial gearbox segment, including MI inline vertical agitator geared motor, smart modular bevel helical gearbox, recirculating cooling tower, and pressure safety valve Fluid Coupling.
In March 2022, RNWBL, LLC, a technology company based in the US, acquired Gearbox Express for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to position RNWBL as a provider of field services and technology to the renewable energy industry. Gearbox Express, a US-based gearbox manufacturer, specializes in offering remanufactured gearboxes, main shafts, parts, and related services.
