Global Chain Couplings Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global chain couplings market

According to Technavio’s research analysis on the global chain couplings market, the need for less maintenance will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on this market’s growth till 2021. Chain couplings provide increased resistance to wear and tear and rusting due to their strong structural build that are tolerant to heavy moisture and harsh processes. Materials such as stainless steel and nylon are used to manufacture chain couplings. This in turn, ensures the development of chain couplings that do not contaminate under extreme heat or moisture. Also, the utilization of high quality materials to manufacture chain couplings has resulted in low maintenance, encouraging them to be adopted in different facilities. These advantages will drive the demand for chain couplings during the forecast period. Our market research analysts predict that this market will post a revenue growth of more than USD 200 million by 2021.

The APAC region will be the major revenue contributor of the chain couplings market throughout the forecast period. The rapid growth of industrial sector and the increased presence of small and medium-sized organizations in the region will drive the demand for chain couplings. The increasing government initiatives to offer support for industrial growth in the region will also contribute to the market’s growth.
