Metal Power Transmission Chain Market Report 2026

The metal power transmission chain market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.32 billion in 2025 to $9.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial machinery expansion, growth in heavy manufacturing, rising demand for mechanical power transmission, increased mining and construction activity, automotive production growth.

The metal power transmission chain market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factory automation investments, growth in electric vehicle manufacturing, expansion of food processing facilities, demand for high efficiency drive systems, infrastructure and construction development. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high load bearing power transmission components, increasing adoption of wear resistant metal chains, growing use of precision chains in high speed machinery, expansion of corrosion resistant chains in harsh environments, increasing focus on chain durability and lifecycle performance.

The growth of the metal power transmission chain market is expected to be driven by the rising construction activities. Construction activities include the processes of building, modifying, repairing, or demolishing structures such as buildings, roads, and infrastructure. The increasing demand for construction is largely due to a shift in consumer preferences toward higher spending on renovations, restorations, and retrofits. Metal power transmission chains play a vital role in construction by providing strong and durable components, making them suitable for heavy machinery and equipment. They help ensure reliable power transfer, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime on construction sites. For instance, in June 2024, the US Census Bureau reported that the value of construction activities increased by 10 percent from $1.97 trillion in 2023 to $2.09 trillion in 2024. As a result, the growing construction activities are contributing to the expansion of the metal power transmission chain market.

Companies in the metal power transmission chain market are focusing on the development of compact roller chains designed for efficient power transmission in space-constrained and demanding applications. These compact roller chains are small, yet durable, and designed to provide reliable performance even in confined spaces while maintaining strength and smooth operation. For example, in September 2024, Tsubakimoto Chain Co., a Japanese manufacturer of power transmission products, launched the Epsilon Chain Stainless Steel Series (Model RS6). This chain, with a pitch of just 1.905 mm, about half the size of the RS11 model, offers reliable power transmission in tight spaces. It also provides a long service life with reduced wear, a tensile strength of 0.36 kN, and corrosion resistance due to its stainless-steel construction, making it ideal for use in medical devices, healthcare equipment, and industrial robots.

In June 2023, Rondot Group, a France-based company specializing in consumables, acquired Ramsey Product Corp. for an undisclosed sum. With this acquisition, Rondot Group aims to expand its product offerings by incorporating Ramsey Products’ expertise in silent chain technology. This acquisition enhances Rondot Group’s capabilities in precision motion control and power transmission solutions. Ramsey Product Corp., based in the U.S., manufactures metal power transmission chains.
