GEAR SKIVING MACHINE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Gear Skiving Machine market is projected at approximately USD 0.256 billion in 2025, expected to rise to approximately USD 0.274 billion in 2026, and reach nearly USD 0.446 billion by 2034, advancing at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2025–2034.

The gear skiving machine is a technique of power skiving. This is a combination of gear hobbing and shaping. This is accompanied with continuous hobbing along with axial feed. This performance is considered a high-performance technique. It is capable of high cutting speeds. Also, the number of teeth engaged is significantly more.

There many new techniques that are introduced every single day. The segregation of the gear skiving machines can be considered a new development. The two major types are: vertical gear skiving machine and horizontal gear skiving machine. This is considered as the latest trend in the global and United States gear skiving machine market.

Many factors are responsible for the development of the market. Gear skiving machines form an integral part of the general machinery industry. These machines are highly in demand in the automobile and general machineries industry. This product is highly versatile. These are considered as the factors driving the global and United States gear skiving machine market growth.

Key Findings

COVID-19 impact

Decline in the Demand for The General Machinery Industry Reduced the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Gear skiving machines form an integral part of the general machinery industry. General machinery industry is a regular customer of the gear skiving machines. With the pandemic of COVID-19, the demand for general machineries dropped which negatively impacted the gear skiving market.

A gear skiving machine is primarily specialized that in producing gears. The production of gear involves the removing of materials from a work piece in order to create teeth. The materials are removed from the outer as well as the inner diameter of the work piece. Since the machine is equipped to produce gears, it is highly used in the machinery industry. When there was a decrease in the share of the machinery industry the gear skiving market also experienced a decline in its share.  

LATEST TRENDS

Different Types of Gear Machines Performing Versatile Functions to Increase the Market Growth

There are two main categories of gear skiving machines: They are vertical gear skiving machine and horizontal gear skiving machine. Both of them have different structures and perform different functions. The segregation of the gear skiving machines can be considered a new development.

A horizontal gear skiving machine removes the material directly from the surface of the workpiece. It mainly consists of a rotating cutter. These types of machines are classified depending upon the number of axes present. Whereas the vertical gear skiving machines removes the material from the surface of a gear blank. They help in creating internal and external gears and all the other types of precision components. As these machines are very versatile, they tremendously help in market growth.

• In 2023, approximately 620 units of EV‑optimized gear skiving machines were installed globally, showing rising adoption in electric vehicle gear manufacturing.

• German gear‑cutting and finishing machines recorded 548 million EUR in export orders in 2023, reflecting growing international demand for precision gear machinery.
