Precision Gearbox Market Analysis
Growing consciousness about the product benefits over the broad-spectrum including military & aerospace, machine tools, material handling, robotics, and medical sectors is projected to fuel the industry growth. This industry experiences a drastic drop in the growth rate due to poor demand from the industrial market. The implemented regulatory measures meant that operations stopped across a vast spectrum of industries, and since there were few new installation projects and maintenance and repairs of automation systems, the application of the robotics products market was curbed.
The rising need for precision gearboxes in robotics, automobiles, and industrial equipment is expected to fuel the market growth. Further, the increasing use of renewable energy sources in aerospace-related fields is also likely to boost this market. For instance, in March 2023, Harmonic Drive Systems released a new line of precision gearboxes applicable to wind turbines. Moreover, recent government support and legislation in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are contributing to market conditions. However, challenges like disruption of the supply chain and raw material price for the market are still a challenge to the market
