Revenue Analysis of Automotive Gear from 2017-2021 Vs Market Projections for 2022 to 2032

As per Fact.MR, market research and competitive intelligence provider, the global market for Automotive Gear was valued at US$ 4.45 Billion in 2021. Gears play an important role in automotive systems.

Vehicle sales have a direct influence on the expansion of the gears market. Switching to more expensive and energy-efficient equipment, such as seven-speed and eight-speed automatic transmissions, is another factor for market expansion in the automotive sector.

Electric vehicles make little use of gears. The overall number of gears is drastically decreased because there are lesser transmission systems, differentials, and almost no gearboxes. Furthermore, the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and portable auto parts will drive future growth over the next ten years.

Plastic gears reinforced with carbon fiber are an emerging technology, and lightweight gear systems may be viewed as a business investment opportunity. All of these factors are expected to drive the market at a 5.7% CAGR from 2022 to 2032.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Automotive Gear Market?

The upsurge in passenger and vehicle manufacturing has led to a rise in demand for automotive gears

The increment in passenger and vehicle manufacturing has resulted in higher consumption of automotive gears. The burgeoning demand for improved acceleration and a low carbon footprint in automobile engines is driving the automotive gears industry. The growing automotive gear market can also be attributed to the limited product shelf life in conventional gear systems.

Aluminium and composite gears, which are lightweight and highly durable, are expected to gain popularity, with their market expanding significantly during the forecast period. Over the forecast period, parallel shaft gears and skew shaft gears are expected to account for a sizable market share in the overall automotive gears market.

The industry is growing due to the growing demand for automatic transmissions in vehicles

Furthermore, ongoing investments in research and innovation by established gear automakers to accomplish increased vehicle effectiveness and a lesser carbon footprint are anticipated to propel the growth of the automotive gears market throughout the forecast period.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Automotive Gear Market?

The rapidly expanding electric vehicle sector is poised to stifle growth in the automotive gears market in the near future

At the moment, electric vehicle penetration is minimal, accounting for only a small part of total vehicle sales. However, as governments around the globe promote zero-emission vehicles through economic incentives and favorable policies, market growth is expected to slow.

Because electric vehicles have lesser mechanical parts than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, the number of gears used in automobiles is likely to decrease. Furthermore, due to developments in motor drive technology, the automotive gears sector's growth may slow during the projected period.
