ELASTOMERIC COUPLING MARKET OVERVIEW

The Elastomeric Coupling Market is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 2.1 billion in 2025 and ultimately hitting USD 3.862 billion by 2034, at a steady CAGR of 7% from 2025 to 2034.

Elastomeric couplings made from synthetic materials and polymers like polyurethane are required to meet the rising demand for power transmission. The great displacement tolerance and vibration attenuation offered by elastomeric couplings make them useful. As requested by the client, elastomeric couplings can also be purchased with unique design options for specialized uses. Elastomeric couplings have been demonstrated to prolong the life of connected equipment in contrast to conventional couplings.

Elastomeric couplings are a critical component that must be installed in gearbox and conveyor units, which are needed for manufacturing equipment in the automotive and industrial sectors. Sales of elastomeric couplings are anticipated to be driven either directly or indirectly by growth in industrial regions and an increase in automotive volume in low-income nations.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disrupted Supply Chains Lead to Lower the Market Demand

Covid badly affected the elastomeric coupling market due to supply chain disruptions and shortage in raw materials was also observed. Shortage of labor and strict protocols such as lockdowns and restrictions on movement created roadblocks, disruptions in end-use sectors of the product led to lower demand.

LATEST TRENDS

Use in Supermarkets to Decrease Thefts to Augment the Market Demand

Strong elastomeric coupling sales are anticipated throughout the projected period because to the demand for HVAC, industrial motors, and production-related gear. One of the main factors driving demand for elastomeric couplings is probably their non-lubricated, variable shaft, non-sparking, indoor and outdoor activities, as well as their capacity to be installed both horizontally and vertically. Over the course of the predicted period, it is anticipated that demand for elastomeric couplings will increase due to the development of couplings with a wide range of torsional stiffness and high torque transmission. Due to its widespread use as a coupling and availability in a variety of shaft gaps, the jaw-type coupling has helped the development of large elastomeric couplings.

• According to the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), over 58% of newly certified industrial drive systems in 2022 integrated elastomeric couplings to improve vibration control and safety compliance.

• The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reported that nearly 42% of new HVAC installations in 2023 adopted elastomeric couplings due to their non-lubricated, low-maintenance design.

DRIVING FACTORS

Low Maintenance and Demand in Automotive Industry to Push the Market

The market's key driver of elastomeric coupling sales is its superiority over metal couplings. More flexible than any metal connection, elastomeric couplings give greater flexibility. Elastomeric couplings are in high demand due to their distinctiveness from other metal couplings in terms of varying degrees of torsional softness.

Low maintenance is required thanks to elastomeric couplings' provision of frictional wear between parts. Sales of elastomeric couplings are becoming more and more popular in the industries due to their excellent endurance and minimal maintenance requirements. Due to the critical need for accuracy, quality, and dependability in operating processes in the upcoming years, it is also anticipated that the automotive industry will contribute to the demand for elastomeric couplings. This will create the necessary opportunity for the growth of the elastomeric couplings market share.

• As per the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), demand for flexible power transmission components grew by 35% between 2019 and 2023, with elastomeric couplings being a major contributor.

• The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) highlighted that elastomeric couplings are now used in over 60% of automotive gearbox assemblies for reducing torsional vibrations.

Demand in Heavy Equipment Sector to Boost the Market Demand

Because they effectively isolate high-frequency noise between the engine and downstream components, elastomeric couplings are particularly in demand in the heavy equipment sector. The principal use of elastomeric couplings is in the transfer of power to industrial machinery such compressors, pumps, blowers, conveyors, and mixers, which is also driving rising demand for them.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Inability to Withstand Fluctuating Temperature to Hamper the Market

Elastomeric materials lose strength as a result of the quick rise in temperature. The need for elastomeric couplings is somewhat constrained by the fast rise in temperature. One of the reasons that is anticipated to restrain the market growth for elastomeric couplings is their inability to withstand fluctuating temperature fluctuations, as end users may choose more affordable alternatives.

• According to the European Rubber Manufacturers Association (ERMA), around 30% of elastomer-based products lose mechanical strength when exposed to high-temperature fluctuations, limiting performance in certain sectors.

• The Japan Machinery Federation (JMF) found that nearly 25% of small-scale industries cited higher replacement costs for elastomeric couplings compared to metal alternatives, slowing adoption.
