The size of the global bevel gears market was worth USD 2.80 billion in 2023. The global market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3% from 2024 to 2032 and be worth USD X+X billion by 2032 from USD 3.65 billion in 2024.
Bevel gears have wide applications in mechanical settings. These gears are shaped conically with the tooth-bearing faces and are intersected between two shafts. These are mounted on the shafts with a 90-degree angle and can be designed specially to the required angles. The major advantage of the bevel gears is the transfer of energy from linear to vertical power in the machines.
Bevel gears are important in decreasing or increasing the force between the drive and any accomplished wheels. The automotive industry is massively growing across the globe. Therefore, the demand for bevel gears is increasing with the growing number of automotive industries, especially in developed and developing countries. According to a recent survey, around 80 million motor vehicles are manufactured globally, which is estimated to have potential growth in the number year-on-year.
In addition, the rising focus on producing energy-efficient power systems is driving the market share. Bevel gears are highly efficient in transmitting power and torque with various angles and shaft rotations. Transferring rotational energy to improve overall performance has promoted the demand for bevel gears in various applications such as wind turbines, hydroelectric plants, and solar power systems.
Penetration of the IoT in every industrial application is anticipated to leverage the growth rate of the bevel gears market. The shortage of skilled professionals is enhancing the adoption rate of robots in the industry. According to the International Federation of Robotics survey, nearly 158,000 units of service robots for professional use were sold in 2022. Also, around 553,052 industrial robots have been installed and are expected to grow by 5% during the forecast period. Therefore, the demand to install automation techniques in the industries greatly influences market growth.
The availability of alternate devices to reduce the traditional usage of bevel gears in combustion engines is also expected to hinder the market growth. Rapid technological changes are giving a way to adopt efficient and effective solutions, especially in the automotive industry. The complexity of producing conically shaped bevel gears due to a lack of skilled labour limits the market size.
Increasing support from government authorities through investments in the automotive industry will likely show potential growth opportunities for the bevel gears market. Technological advancements in manufacturing lightweight and high-performance gearboxes are greatly influence the demand for bevel gears. Emerging applications of bevel gears in robotics seem to showcase a potential growth rate for the market.
Lack of proper knowledge of the maintenance of the bevel gears is a major challenge for the key players. With the rapidly changing technology, the demand for traditional systems is decreasing slowly, imposing certain limitations on the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the bevel gears market in 2020. Government authorities followed stringent protocols such as lockdown restrictions and closures of all shops, restaurants, offices, and others to curb the spread of coronavirus. Supply chain disruptions due to travel restrictions have created a huge loss for the automotive industries and declined the demand for bevel gears. With the reduced risk of COVID-19 in almost every country, all the restrictions were lifted by the end of 2020, pushing the market share. The manufacturing process in automotive industries is ramping up the production rate that is esteemed to fuel the market growth rate.
