TENSION CLUTCH MARKET OVERVIEW

he global Tension Clutch Market size is USD 1.7 billion in 2025, is expected to rise to USD 1.8 billion in 2026, and is forecasted to reach USD 2.9 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 6.1% throughout the period 2025-2035.

A mechanical mechanism called a tension clutch engages and disengages power transfer, particularly from one drive shaft to another. Any manual car uses an automobile clutch, a mechanical component, to transmit rotational force from the engine to the wheels. The clutch in a manual transmission car regulates the connection between the engine's output shaft and the shafts that turn the wheels.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered Market Demand 

The Covid-19 pandemic caused supply chain disruptions worldwide. Manufacturing businesses ceased all operations, and numerous businesses remained closed until government authorities issued reopening instructions. In addition, the entire industry saw a significant decline in production as a result of a decrease in the labor force due to social distance norms. The COVID-19 epidemic will undoubtedly have an effect on the tension clutch market, which is primarily driven by rising vehicle sales and production.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Adoption of Transmission System to Fuel Market Growth

Global tension clutch market growth is anticipated to be positively impacted by the developing trend and changing customer preference for manual to semi-automatic or fully automated transmission systems. The demand for passenger automobiles in emerging nations is also anticipated to expand during the projected period, as is consumer preference for more practical modes of transportation.

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 52% of manufacturing-workers in U.S. firms are potentially exposed to advanced automation technologies (2016-18 period).

• According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the standard ‎ISO 7000 – Graphical Symbols for Use on Equipment – includes registered symbols for “Clutch” equipment indicating the increasing global standardisation of clutch and related components.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Investment in Manufacturing Process to Stimulate Market Demand

The global tension clutch market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period as a result of rising investment in the manufacturing of packaging machines, particularly for the food & beverage and pharmaceutical sectors. The many advantages of tension control systems are their affordability, great performance, stability, and ability to successfully maintain constant unwind tension for your process. The increasing need for automated tension control is one of the main reasons propelling the tension clutch market's expansion.

• According to the U.S. Department of Commerce “SelectUSA Automation Report”, in 2018 the manufacturing sector represented 82.3% of all U.S. industrial robot installations—highlighting the strong push for automation, which drives demand for precision components like tension clutches.

• According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond CFO Survey, around 60% of U.S. firms implemented labour-replacing automation in the prior 12 months (and 85% of large firms did) — underscoring the growth of automated processes requiring reliable tension control and clutch systems.

Rapid Progress in Technology to Boost Market Growth

The flexible printing and packaging industry includes a variety of end uses, such as labeling, laminating, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and homecare, and home care. Food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and printing and packaging sectors make the most use of tension control. Machines that are used for flexible printing and packaging must have tension control.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Low Tensile Strength to Restrict Market Expansion

Low tensile strength of the flexible material frequently causes variations in tension in the moving web and can have a significant impact on process quality, resulting in poor printing, erratic packaging, uneven lamination, perforation in packaging, and other problems.

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau analysis via the automation exposure blog, exposure to advanced automation technologies in manufacturing is higher (52%) than in other sectors (28%), which suggests that niche components markets (such as tension clutches) may face slower growth in less automated sectors.

• According to the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) data on machinery trade, U.S. exports of machinery products decreased by $10.5 billion (7.7%) to $127.1 billion in 2020 — this indicates headwinds in upstream machinery markets which may restrain components like tension clutches.
