Global Chain Drives Market - Forecasts from 2018 to 2023

Global chain drives market is estimated to reach US$5.727 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 4.10% over the forecast period from the current estimate of US$4.500 billion in 2017. The method by which mechanical power is transmitted from one place to another is called chain drive. Chain drives do not incur any kind of power loss and are more compact than belt drives. They can operate efficiently at high temperatures and are better suited for slow speed drives. They have easy installation and can withstand chemicals and abrasive conditions. Chains can be efficiently used for reversing drives and are less expensive than gear drives. Failures can occur in the chain drives due to overload, misalignment, greater load fatigue or incorrect lubrication system. Moreover, the wear and tear of chain drive also determine the life expectancy of chain drives.

The global market for chain drives is primarily driven by increasing manufacturing and construction activities across the globe owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Moreover, rising focus and spending over replacement activities in various sectors will further augment the demand for drive chains. The increase in demand for automation in manufacturing activities will further add to the demand for these chains. However, intense completion, increased fragmentation and a high degree of variability are some factors that restrain the market growth.

Geographically, Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the global market for chain drives on account of rising construction activities along with the expansion of end-user industries such as oil and gas, cement, pulp and paper. Rapid industrialization coupled with growing spending power in emerging economies, like India and China, further propels the regional global chain drives market growth.
