HIGH PRECISION PLANETARY GEAR MOTORS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global high precision planetary gear motors market size is forecasted to reach USD 1.87 billion by 2033 from USD 1.04 billion in 2024, growing at a steady CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

An epicyclic gearbox, sometimes known as a high precision planetary gear motors, is a type of gear unit frequently used in drive systems. Planetary components play a crucial role in automatic transmission systems and are extremely adaptable. In essence, the input shaft and the output shaft have a single center of rotation.

Over the forecast period, planetary is anticipated to dominate the worldwide market, and this is due in large part to the expanding number of applications for planetary precision gearboxes because of their advantageous characteristics. Equipment notably servo systems, conveyers, wheeled drives, and coiled tubing injectors use planetary precision gearboxes. These gearboxes have advantageous qualities including high power density and efficiency, among others. As a result, the market for planetary precision gearboxes is expanding quickly, which is fueling this sector's expansion.

COVID-19 IMPACT

National Lockdowns to Diminish Market Share

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, high precision planetary gear motors experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Global supply chains are still facing considerable obstacles as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. National lockdowns hampered manufacturing even in 2022 because they slowed or even completely stopped the movement of supplies and completed items. For supply chains, the outbreak hasn't necessarily brought forth any fresh difficulties. It revealed previously hidden weaknesses in several areas, such as staff shortages and financial losses from closures in the market. However, in general, it has exacerbated and accelerated supply chain issues that already existed.

LATEST TRENDS

Mergers and Acquisitions to Stimulate Market Development

To improve their product offerings, major players in the worldwide market have begun using expansion methods including mergers and acquisitions. For instance, Nidec Corporation announced in March 2019 that it had acquired DESCH Antriebstechnik GmbH and Company. KG plus its affiliated companies. With this acquisition, Nidec-Shimpo Corporation's position has been strengthened in the market for high precision planetary gear motors across Europe for both sales and production. Over the course of the forecast, it is expected that this trend will continue in the market worldwide.

DRIVING FACTORS

High Amount of Efficiency to Aid Market Expansion

In order to finish their processes, many sectors, including sugar, concrete, rubber, and paper, are using more precise gearboxes. High precision planetary gear motors manufacturers are increasingly concentrating on the creation of technologically sophisticated solutions to assist reduce energy costs and enable businesses to effectively support industrial processes. As a result, industrial gearboxes are more efficient, which is driving up demand for this technology. Over the course of the forecast period, these factors are expected to fuel the expansion of the worldwide high precision planetary gear motors market.

Need for Direct-Drive Actuator in Robotics to Foster Industry Progress

Over the course of the forecast period, the global high precision planetary gear motors market is anticipated to see several opportunities due to the growing need for direct-drive actuator in robotics. The need for direct-drive actuator in robotics for industry and non-factory usage is rising quickly because to the advantages of precision gearboxes, such as minimal system complexity, decreased maintenance requirements, and cost efficiency.

The robotic design may run without gears because to new features used in actuators as structural-magnetic synergy, enhanced magnetics, and thermodynamic anomaly. Therefore, during the course of the forecast period, this aspect is anticipated to present opportunities in the worldwide precision gearbox market.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Failures of Gearboxes to Stop Market Evolution 

High precision planetary gear motors might result from unanticipated system interactions or from the effects of operating modes. Instead of the gears, the bearings are typically to blame for these failures. These gearboxes must overcome significant obstacles such misalignment, resonant vibration brought on by elastic deflections, transitory effects of thermal expansion during startup, sealing or breathing setups, and external contaminants brought on by orientation.

Thus, during the course of the forecast period, this factor is anticipated to restrain the expansion of the worldwide high precision planetary gear motors market growth.
