HARMONIC DRIVE PRECISION GEAR REDUCERS MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

Global Harmonic Drive Precision Gear Reducers Market size was USD 0.46 Billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch 1.79 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the harmonic drive precision gear reducers market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

A harmonic drive precision gear reducer is a type of gear reducer that uses a strain wave gear to reduce the speed and increase the torque of a rotating shaft. It is a backlash-free gear reducer, which means that there is no play between the gears, resulting in smooth and precise operation.

They are highly efficient, which helps to improve the overall fuel economy of vehicles and the performance of medical devices. They are compact, which helps to save space in vehicles and medical equipment.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand"

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the harmonic drive precision gear reducers market share. The pandemic led to the shutdown of manufacturing plants in many countries, which in turn disrupted the supply chain of harmonic drive precision gear reducers. The pandemic also led to a reduction in demand for them from various end-use industries such as automotive, robotics, and machine tools. The pandemic also led to an increase in the prices of raw materials used in the manufacturing, which further affected the market. However, the market is expected to recover in the coming years as the global economy recovers from the pandemic
