Global Elastomeric Couplings Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global elastomeric couplings market

Research analysis on the global elastomeric couplings market identifies that the benefits of elastomeric couplings will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will post a revenue of more than 640 million by 2021. Improved flexibility and ability to transmit torque between two shafts using materials such as rubber or urethane drives the demand for elastomeric couplings. Moreover, these flexible couplings offer numerous degree of torsional softness and can prevent misalignment, both in angular and parallel compared to any other coupling. Elastomeric couplings also have no frictional wear between components, providing a minimal need for maintenance and is much quieter in terms of noise than the other metal couplings.

In terms of geographic regions, APAC will be the key contributor of the elastomeric couplings market throughout the forecast period. The increasing demand for automobiles and growing production rates will drive the demand for elastomeric couplings market in the region. Also, the presence of industries such as heavy industry and machine tools will propel the market growth in APAC.
