Global Mechanical Drive Industry Outlook for Mining Industry
According to the mechanical drive market for mining industry analysis, the rise in demand for coal and other metals and minerals 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 grow at a CAGR of almost 3% by 2021. China, the UAE, India, and Brazil are investing heavily in oil and gas production and coal mining activities to meet the energy demand, which will, in turn, drive the demand for mechanical drives. The utilization of coal for electricity production in APAC is more than 50% and coal accounts for almost 80% of the electricity generated in China and India. Additionally, the increased construction activities of buildings, roads, and bridges drive the demand for coal, as it is used in steel and cement manufacturing. This will positively influence the investments in the mining industry, which in turn, will drive the mechanical drives demand for the mining industry.
The advancement in the belt drive technology is one of the latest trends that will contribute to the growth of this market in the forthcoming years. The emergence of new improvements in the belt drive industry will result in the development and introduction of stronger, cleaner, and efficient belts. Some of the major vendors have introduced polyurethane and carbon-reinforced belts that can withstand bulkier materials and have a power transmission capacity that is five times higher than a conventional belt. These high technology polyurethane belts can be used in end-user sectors such as industrial machinery, agriculture, and material handling, in turn, boosting the mechanical drives for mining market growth.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The mechanical drive market for mining industry consists of many international players with customer bases across national borders. The market also has smaller regional vendors who cater to the needs of the local customers. In addition to the major vendors, numerous regional and local vendors have also started manufacturing customized and energy-efficient mechanical drives for the mining industry.
