Precision gearbox has gained high importance in agriculture industry
Agricultural precision gearboxes and hygienic gearboxes are extremely durable and dependable. The agricultural industry has a harsh environment. These include remote, all-weather outdoor locations, constant moisture, and frequent cleaning. Due to tight deadlines and schedules, down time is not a viable option. During harvest season, the agriculture industry relies heavily on near-constant operation. As a result, agriculture precision gearboxes must be extremely durable and dependable. Furthermore, power transmission necessitates the need for robustness, dependability, and compatibility with the installation environment. Such factors possess dominating impact on the global growth of precision gearbox market in the forecast period.
Market Segmentation
The global precision gearbox market is segmented based on product and application. Product is segmented as planetary, harmonic, and cycloidal. Further, application is segmented as military & aerospace, food, beverage, & tobacco, machine tools, materials handling, packaging, robotics, medical, and others.
Based on product, the planetary precision gearbox segment accounts for the dominating share of market growth from the past and is expected to continue this trend till the forecast period. This is because planetary precision gearboxes are one of the most important transmission devices in industrial automation, as they reduce speed, increase torque, and reduce the load/motor inertia ratio under the premise of ensuring precision transmission. Furthermore, planetary precision gearboxes are required for improved transmission results and extended service life. The aforementioned factors have a positive impact on the overall growth of the precision gearbox market.
Based on application, the robotics segment will account for the dominating share of the overall growth of the precision gearbox market. According to the Frontiers Media S.A. report, robotics are the backbone of several large-scale, traditional manufacturing industries such as automotive or electronics. Currently, the majority of the world's regions see a realistic opportunity to resurrect the manufacturing industry through the use of robots in SMEs and assistive services. A new generation of robotic devices is also altering priorities in the selection of suitable gearboxes. Precision geared product sales to the robotics and machine tool industries accounted for approximately 39% of all precision geared products shipped and are expected to gain a significant market share throughout the forecast period. Instead of extreme precision at high speeds, this influences segmental growth, eventually contributing to the overall growth of the precision gearbox market.
Regional Landscape
Asia Pacific dominates precision gearbox market by recording considerable share
Asia Pacific currently holds the dominating share of the precision gearbox market and will do so for the foreseeable future. Among APAC provinces, China holds a sizable share of the precision gearbox market. Precision gearbox shipments accounted for more than 95% of total shipments in the past due to massive demand for servo-driven machinery and increased access to capital. In addition, significant investment was made in the automotive industry, where demand for industrial robots has been boosted by a sharp increase in precision planetary gearbox shipments. Apart from that, Chinese industrial robot manufacturers are still experimenting with the use of high precision geared products in robots. Such factors have a significant impact on the regional growth of the precision gearbox market.
Precision gearboxes will be in high demand in North America in the coming years. This is due to the presence of a well-established automobile industry, which has resulted in massive demand. Furthermore, increased demand for new luxury vehicles as a result of rising living standards has resulted in a rapid expansion of the country's automotive industry trends.
