Automotive Spur Gear Global Market Report 2024

The automotive spur gear market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.51 billion in 2023 to $31.63 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to factors such as vehicle production volumes, fuel efficiency standards, trends in automotive design, advancements in materials, and prevailing global economic conditions.

The automotive spur gear market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the adoption of electric vehicles, initiatives aimed at emission reduction, the resilience of supply chains, the rising demand for vehicle customization, and increased research and development investments. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of advanced manufacturing technologies, a focus on noise reduction technologies, the introduction of high-strength and high-performance gears, the adoption of advanced surface coatings, an emphasis on energy-efficient gear design, and the development of gear solutions tailored for electric and hybrid vehicles.

The anticipated surge in electric vehicle (EV) sales is poised to drive the growth of the automotive spur gear market in the foreseeable future. Electric vehicles, powered by electricity from rechargeable batteries or onboard hydrogen fuel cells, rely on automotive spur gears to optimize power transmission, enhance efficiency, and ensure precise control of speed and torque. The International Energy Agency reported a significant increase in EV sales, reaching 6.6 million in 2021, nearly double the figure from 2020, contributing to a total of 16.5 million electric vehicles on the road. Hence, the rising demand for electric vehicles is a key factor propelling the automotive spur gear market.

A growing emphasis on fuel efficiency is expected to be a driving force behind the expansion of the automotive spur gear market. Fuel efficiency, a crucial metric for vehicle performance, is enhanced by automotive spur gears through the reduction of energy losses and promotion of efficient power transmission. Preliminary estimates from the US-based Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in August 2023 indicated a fuel efficiency of 26.4 mpg for new 2022 models. This increasing demand for fuel efficiency serves as a catalyst for the growth of the automotive spur gear market.

The accessibility of alternative gearing systems poses a significant challenge to the automotive spur gear market during the forecast period. While spur gears have their applications, they face competition from other gear types such as bevel gears, which are better suited for specific purposes such as transmitting force or shaft power between crossing shafts at different angles. In August 2023, Dana Incorporated, a US-based manufacturer of gearboxes, launched Brevini EvoMax helical and bevel-helical gearboxes designed for maritime and offshore applications, showcasing the versatility of alternative gearing systems. This accessibility of alternative systems acts as a restraint on the growth of the automotive spur gear market.

Major players in the automotive spur gear market are focusing on innovation by developing automatic gear shift variants to meet customer demands. The automatic gear system, exemplified by Suzuki Motor Corporation's New S-Presso AGS launched in May 2023, allows manual gearboxes to perform automated gear changes without the need for driver intervention. This enhances convenience, performance, and efficiency, complementing the vehicle's design and elegance. Suzuki's AGS variant features a new 1.0L K10C engine and an engine auto stop-start system (EASS) for fuel efficiency, providing a pleasurable ride while saving money.

In January 2022, Schaeffler Group, a Germany-based precision components and systems manufacturer, acquired Melior Motion GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Schaeffler Group's industrial business in precision gears and gearboxes, offering clients in various industries a broader selection of planetary gear and high-precision gearboxes. Melior Motion GmbH, a Germany-based technology company specializing in high-precision gearboxes, including automotive spur gears, aligns with Schaeffler's goals for growth and innovation in the sector.

Automotive spur gears represent a category of mechanical gears widely employed in vehicles, including cars and trucks, for the purpose of transmitting power and motion between rotating shafts. Distinguished by their cylindrical shape and straight teeth aligned parallel to the gear's axis, these gears play a crucial role in the mechanical systems of vehicles.

The primary product classifications of automotive spur gears encompass external spur gears and internal spur gears. An external spur gear is a mechanical gear featuring a cylindrical disk with teeth positioned along its outer circumference. The materials used in the manufacturing of these gears include steel, nylon, aluminum, bronze, phenolic, cast iron, bakelite, and various plastics. These materials cater to diverse vehicle types, spanning from passenger vehicles to commercial vehicles. The distribution of these gears takes place through various sales channels, including OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and aftermarket.
