Global Industrial Helical Gearbox Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies ABB, Bonfiglioli, Dana Brevini Motion Systems, Lenze, and NORD as the key vendors in the global industrial helical gearbox market. This industry research report also presents a comprehensive analysis of the market by product (industrial helical gear helical gearbox and industrial bevel gear helical gearbox), by end-user (chemicals and rubber industry, mining and cement industry, machine tools and steel industry, and others), and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global industrial helical gearbox market

Helical gears have the ability to produce smooth operation avoiding noise and cracks in the gear tooth due to which there is increase in the adoption of helical gears over spur gears. Technavio’s market research report has identified use of helical gears which enables smooth operation as one of the primary factors that will fuel the growth of the industrial helical gearbox market in the coming years. The teeth of helical gear are cut at an angle to face the gear due to which helical gears are not loud while spur gears are loud as the teeth collide while engaging. Helical gears find its application in power transmission between non-parallel shafts. Moreover, helical gears can hold larger loads as compared to spur gears. The teeth of the helical gears are positioned diagonally and are lengthier due to which the operation is smooth during power transmission. Our market research analysts predict that this global market will register a revenue of close to USD 11 billion by 2021.

The emergence of thermoplastic gears will be one of the key trends that will contribute to the growth of the industrial helical gearbox market in the coming years. Thermoplastic materials have the ability to eliminate lubrication leakage when added with carbon fibers and these materials can effectively transmit power without lubricants. The ability of self lubrication by thermoplastic gears helps in maintanence even though the wear and tear in thermoplastic gears are higher than metal gears. Moreover, thermoplastic gears remove the need for disposing the used lubricant, which leads to reduced environmental impact.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The industrial gearbox market is highly fragmented due to the presence of several local, regional, and international players. Players are trying to compete by differentiating their products and innovating new products. The vendors are mainly targeting Chemicals and rubber, cement, pulp and paper, and food and beverage industries as these industries have humungous potential of use of industrial helical gearboxes in these industries. The competition among the existing players in the helical gearbox market are bound to be intense as this is a capital-intensive industry and the threat of substitutes is less.
