Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Drive Assy Market size is anticipated to reach USD 2 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of drive assy was over USD 1 Billion. Electric car drive assemblies are made to optimize performance, power, and economy while reducing emissions. It's a major factor in the growing acceptance of EVs as a greener mode of transportation. Also, the shift in preference towards electric vehicles is rapidly growing worldwide owing to the increasing concern for vehicular pollution. It's anticipated that EV sales will increase significantly through 2023. In the first quarter of this year, sales of electric automobiles exceeded 2.3 million, a 25% increase over the same period the previous year.

Furthermore, government rules and incentives are also a major factor in the drive assy market expansion. For instance, a firm commitment by the government to transition to 100% zero-emission cars in public procurement was made in 2022 with the launch of the Zero Emission Government Fleet Declaration under the EVI. Also, to encourage the use of electric vehicles, numerous nations offer grants, tax credits, and other financial aid. The demand for drive assemblies is rising as a result of manufacturers being forced to create more electric vehicles (EVs) in response to stricter emission laws. Thus, the market is predicted to witness growth in the upcoming years.

Drive Assy Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Demand for Automated Guided Vehicles - Manufacturers of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are in high demand for efficient drive assemblies due to the growing demand for AGVs worldwide. By 2025, it is anticipated that the number of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) on the global drive assy market will exceed 272,700 units. Automated guided vehicles are widely employed in the warehouse and logistics sector due to their ability to enhance efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve safety. These vehicles are designed to transport goods and materials within a facility without the need for human intervention. To enable smooth and precise movement of AGVs, high-quality drive assemblies are required. These drive assemblies provide the necessary power transmission, control, and maneuverability for AGVs to navigate through complex environments, follow designated paths, and avoid obstacles. 
  • Growing Demand for Automation and Robotics - Automation and robotics are becoming increasingly prevalent in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. For instance, in 2023, value added in the manufacturing sector is expected to reach USD 14.83 trillion. Drive assemblies play a crucial role in powering and controlling the movement of automated systems, thus driving the demand for drive assemblies. Furthermore, advancements in drive assembly technology, such as the development of compact and efficient designs, allow for seamless integration into automated systems. These innovations further enhance the performance and capabilities of automation and robotics, driving the need for more advanced drive assemblies.
  • A surge in industrialization - As industrialization continues to expand globally, there is an increasing need for machinery and equipment that require drive assemblies. Industries such as mining, construction, and energy rely on drive assemblies for the efficient operation of heavy machinery and equipment. With industrialization comes the demand for efficient power transmission and control systems, which is where drive assemblies play a vital role. Drive assys including gears and pinions help transmit power and torque, enabling the smooth operation of machinery and equipment.

Challenges

  • High-Cost of the Tools to Restraint the Growth of the Market - The drive assembly market faces cost pressures due to the need for continuous innovation and advancements in technology. Manufacturers need to invest in research and development to stay competitive, which can increase production costs.
  • Technological Complexity of Drive Assy may Hamper the Growth of the Drive Assy Market
  • Environmental Regulations may Hinder the Growth of the Market

Drive Assy Segmentation

Distribution Channel (OEM, Aftermarket)

The OEM segment in the drive assy market is poised to hold a share of 53% during the forecast period. OEMs play a vital role in ensuring quality control and adhering to industry standards. They are responsible for maintaining consistent production standards and delivering reliable drive assemblies to their customers. Also, OEMs work closely with vehicle manufacturers to design and develop drive assemblies that meet specific requirements, such as performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, the expansion of the automotive industry is also propelling the growth of the segment. In 2021, the automotive manufacturing sector brought in over USD 2.86 trillion, with growth in this market predicted for 2022. Also, the growing technological advancements and the demand for customized solutions are escalating the growth of the market. OEMs strive to provide innovative drive assembly solutions that meet the changing needs of vehicle manufacturers.  

Component (Chain & Sprocket, Gear & Pinion, Converters, Motors, Couplings)

The gear & pinion segment in the drive assy market is anticipated to hold a share of 34% during the forecast period. Gear and pinion drives offer a wide range of speed and torque for the same input power, with more precise timing than a chain system, less noise & friction loss, and other advantages over other parts. Since the gear provides positive drive, a high-velocity ratio can be achieved in the least amount of area. Because of the mechanical strength of gears, heavier loads may be lifted. Because of all the advantages, this market segment is widely favored in the drive assy market. Also, the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, and the need for noise reduction. Manufacturers in this segment constantly innovate to develop gears and pinions with improved efficiency, reduced weight, and enhanced performance. Therefore, these factors are propelling the growth of the gear & pinion segment.
