汽車齒輪市場

2023 年汽車齒輪市場價值為 51 億美元，預計 2024 年至 2033 年複合年成長率為 4.8%，到 2033 年達到 80 億美元。

汽車齒輪是汽車變速箱中存在的金屬裝置，用於促進從引擎到車輪的動力傳輸。齒輪執行的各種功能包括改變旋轉速度和方向、增加或減少扭力。在變速箱中，不同尺寸的齒輪有多種排列方式。

汽車工業的快速擴張是汽車齒輪市場的主要促進因素。由於內燃機汽車和電動車都需要高效率的齒輪系統，對汽車齒輪的需求正在增加。此外，汽車裝備見證了售後市場行業更換舊車的需求激增，從而促進了市場成長。向永續材料的轉變和廢棄物最小化是新興趨勢，預計將在未來主導市場。製造商現在在齒輪生產中青睞可回收和生物基聚合物，旨在為循環經濟做出貢獻。此外，內部最先進的廢棄物管理系統可協助製造商最大限度地減少廢棄物的產生。

然而，先進齒輪（尤其是混合動力汽車和電動車）的研發和生產總體成本較高，阻礙了汽車齒輪市場的成長。此外，市場上齒輪製造商數量大幅增加，導致競爭激烈和價格壓力高，從而降低了製造商的盈利。價格壓力限制了市場開拓。相比之下，汽車行業的銷售額一直在持續成長，預計將為汽車齒輪市場提供成長機會。根據資料集中平台Worldmetrics.org的統計，到2030年，自動駕駛汽車預計將售出5,800萬輛。此外，該平台預測電動車將佔新車銷量的47%。這些數字的成長預計將為汽車齒輪市場開闢新的途徑。

Automotive Gears Market

The automotive gears market was valued at $5.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $8.0 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2024 to 2033.

Automotive gear is a metallic device present in the gear box of vehicles to facilitate the transmission of power from engine to wheels. The different functions performed by a gear include changing the speed & direction of rotation and increasing or reducing the torque. In a gear box, different sizes of gears are present in diverse arrangements.

Rapid expansion of the automotive industry is a major driver of the automotive gears market. Both internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles require efficient gear systems, hence rising the need for automotive gears. In addition, automotive gears are witnessing a surge in demand from the aftermarket industry for replacement in old vehicles, thereby augmenting the growth of the market. Shift toward sustainable materials and minimization of wastes is an emerging trend anticipated to dominate the market in the future. Manufacturers now prefer recyclable and bio-based polymers to manufacture gears and contribute toward circular economy. Furthermore, in-house cutting-edge waste management systems are aiding the manufacturers to minimize their waste production.

However, the overall high costs of the R&D and production of advanced gears, particularly for hybrid & electric vehicles, hamper the growth of the automotive gears market. Furthermore, the market has witnessed a notable surge in the number of gear manufacturers, resulting in intense competition and high pricing pressures, reducing the profitability for players. The pricing pressure limits the development of the market. Contrarily, the consistently increasing sales of the automotive industry is anticipated to present growth opportunities for the automotive gears market. As per the statistics of Worldmetrics.org-a data aggregation platform-58 million units of autonomous vehicles are projected to be sold by by 2030. In addition, the platform predicts electric vehicles to hold 47% of share from the pool of new automotive sales. These rising figures are expected to present new avenues for the automotive gears market.
