Significance of gears in automotive manufacturing industry is paramount. As a matter of fact, there is apparently no other critical component to the performance of an automobile than its transmission, whether automatic or manual. Owing to their high usage in the differential systems of vehicles, automotive gears find major applications across functions. Other factors fuelling the growth of this market include the surge in demand for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles from developing economies, due to the increase in per capita income, standard of living, rapid urbanization, and growing consumer base.
The automotive industry is growing at a significant rate, which acts as a major growth driver for the automotive gears' market. Therefore, the automotive gears market is expected to witness considerable growth in this category in the coming years. According to a recent report, the global automotive gears market is estimated to reach USD 38.32 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of over 6 percent during the forecast period. Increasing vehicle production and sales, increasing installation of automated parts in automobiles, growing technological advancements, and ongoing industrialization are some of the major factors driving the automotive gears segment. Other factors include the rise in vehicle production, enhanced driving experience in terms of smooth gear shifting and improved acceleration, and surge in demand for low carbon footprint technologies.
However, the rapid growth of the electric industry is anticipated to hinder the growth of the automotive gears' market. The penetration of electric vehicles is low at present, constituting only a fraction of the total vehicle sales.
The Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market for automotive gears over the forecast period. The automotive gears in the APAC region are majorly fuelled by the increasing demand for vehicles used for personal transportation. The automotive gears are broadly classified into two types. While automotive gears can be manufactured from a wide range of materials using metallic and non-metallic materials, the material selection for manufacturing these products is based on factors such as reliability, precision, load capacity, and durability. Customers look for quality gears and shafts that would not only meet their requirements but also help in increasing efficiency, fit their budgets, and cost-effective solutions that meet global standards.
