Industrial V-Belts Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The increase in replacement activities is notably driving the industrial v-belts market growth, although factors such as threats from alternative products may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the industrial v-belts industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Industrial V-Belts Market Driver
The increase in replacement activities is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global industrial V-belts market. The installation and commissioning of belt drives are significant challenges. The installation tension is critical during the installation of belt drives. Low tension can lead to the slippage of belts or damage the belt teeth. High tension can lead to overloading, which can result in damage to the cord, motor bearings, and shafts. Alignment is also an integral factor when it comes to delivering optimum performance. However, misalignment in the shaft can result in a belt tracking problem and permanent failure. Therefore, misalignment needs to be monitored on a real-time basis. Plant operators must increase their maintenance operations on a timely basis to reduce the problems associated with the installation and commissioning of belts. However, end-users either repair or replace these products over the course of operations. Vendors tend to earn revenues through the maintenance and servicing of belt drives. As these belt drives are relatively inexpensive, end-users are usually less reluctant to opt for the replacement of belt drives. Thus, belt drives are usually replaced. According to vendors, periodic maintenance activities of installed drives are a major source of revenue. This is expected to drive the growth of the global industrial V-belt market.
Key Industrial V-Belts Market Trend
The mechanization of agriculture and farm operations in developing economies will fuel the global industrial V-belts market growth. Mechanization of agriculture and farm operations in developing economies will play an important role in the global industrial V-belt market. This will improve the adoption of agricultural equipment, driving the growth of the global industrial belt drives market during the forecast period. Initiatives by governments in developing countries such as India and China will increase the use of industrial resources for efficient farm operations. Developing countries that are highly dependent on the agricultural sector are expected to adopt industrial machinery. However, Countries with a large populations, such as China, India, and Brazil, are keen on developing agricultural and farming operations with machinery such as harvesters. The subsidization of farm equipment by governments is driving the adoption of farm equipment and related machinery in developing regions, which is positively influencing the respective markets. The increase in investments in assets and improved cash flows among machinery owners will lead to the replacement of older equipment by new machinery. This will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Industrial V-Belts Market Challenge
The threat from alternative products is a major challenge for the global industrial V-belts market growth. The availability of alternate technologies and their low cost and high efficiency compared with belt drives are posing challenges to industrial V-belt vendors. The market has recorded technological transformation, especially with respect to improving the lifespan and efficiency of belt drives. Therefore, market maturity has meant that vendors are limited in terms of product innovation due to traditional user requirements. Alternative technologies such as chain drives and gear drives are used in industrial applications. However, different industries use varying power transmission equipment based on application requirements. At times, industries use a combination of these drives to increase the efficiency of power transmission drive systems. Therefore, the application and the budget are considered before selecting the type of drive. Although belt drives dominate the market, increasing advances and improvements in alternate technologies for power transmission are posing significant challenges to the growth of the market focus.
