A gearbox and a gear motor are mechanical devices designed to regulate the speed, torque, and direction of motion in various machines and automatic apparatus. Gearboxes are commonly employed in automobiles to manage speed and enhance torque by transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. Gear motors find widespread use in automated systems, playing a crucial role in conveyor belts, robotic arms, and manufacturing equipment.
The primary types of products included in gearboxes and gear motors are, unsurprisingly, gearboxes and gear motors. A gearbox is a mechanical device used to transmit power and control the speed and torque of a machine or vehicle. Various types of gears are employed, including spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, planetary gears, and cycloidal gears. These products are distributed through various channels, encompassing direct sales and indirect sales, and cater to numerous end-use industries such as wind power, material handling, food and beverage, cement and aggregates, metals and mining, pharmaceuticals, construction power generation, chemicals, marine, and others.
The gear box and gear motor market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides gear box and gear motor market statistics, including gear box and gear motor industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a gear box and gear motor market share, detailed gear box and gear motor market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the gear box and gear motor industry. This gear box and gear motor 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 gear box and gear motor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.22 billion in 2024 to $18.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid growth in heavy machinery, early adoption in aviation and aerospace, pioneering industry applications, world wars and defense machinery, rise 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 $22.03 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand in renewable energy sector, automation and industrial robotics expansion, emphasis on lightweight and compact solutions, rise in industry 4.0 implementation, growing preference for energy-efficient solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include development of maintenance-free solutions, customization and tailored solutions, focus on noise reduction and vibration control, adoption of gearless direct drive systems, growing emphasis on electric vehicles (EVs).
The growth of the construction industry is expected to drive the expansion of the gearbox and gear motor market in the coming years. The construction industry encompasses the economic sector involved in the planning, design, development, construction, renovation, and maintenance of physical structures and infrastructure. Gearboxes and gear motors are commonly utilized in heavy equipment within the construction sector, such as bulldozers and excavators, to control the speed and torque of hydraulic systems, which allows for precise movement of tools and attachments. For example, in July 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a government agency in Australia, reported that during the March quarter of 2023, the number of dwellings under construction increased by 1.3%, reaching a total of 240,813 units, surpassing the previous record of 240,065 units set in the March 2022 quarter. Consequently, the growth in residential building construction is contributing to the expansion of the gearbox and gear motor market.
The anticipated growth in investments in power generation is expected to boost the gearbox and gear motor market in the coming years. Power generation involves converting various forms of energy, such as mechanical, chemical, or thermal energy, into electrical energy for applications in homes, industries, and more. Gearboxes and gear motors are essential in this process, as they efficiently transmit and convert mechanical energy from sources like turbines or engines into electrical energy, ensuring optimal performance and effective power generation. For example, in May 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, projected that global energy investments would reach approximately USD 2.8 trillion in 2023, with more than USD 1.7 trillion earmarked for clean technologies. This includes investments in renewables, electric vehicles, nuclear power, grid and storage solutions, low-emission fuels, efficiency enhancements, and heat pumps. Thus, the increase in investments in power generation is driving the growth of the gearbox and gear motor market.
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.
