The development of the gear industry is influenced by multiple intertwined trends

In 2025, the development of the gear industry is influenced by multiple intertwined trends, covering multiple dimensions such as market demand transformation, technological iteration, supply chain restructuring, and policy environment changes. These trends collectively shape the short-term performance and long-term direction of the industry.

In 2025, the development of the gear industry is influenced by multiple intertwined trends, covering multiple dimensions such as market demand transformation, technological iteration, supply chain restructuring, and policy environment changes. These trends collectively shape the short-term performance and long-term direction of the industry.

The structural adjustment of market demand, electrification, and the transformation of new energy are still one of the most significant trends in the industry, although the pace of progress has slowed down compared to previous years. The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and related transmission systems continues to drive gear technology upgrades, with high-precision, low-noise, and lightweight gears (such as planetary gears) becoming a research and development focus. At the same time, the goal of decarbonization is driving the demand for efficient gearboxes in fields such as wind power and railways, and some companies have planned to expand related production capacity through high capital expenditures in the next five years. However, the demand for traditional fuel vehicles is clearly declining, and the contraction of the automotive industry since the second half of 2024 has had a direct impact on gear manufacturers. The transition path from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles is still uncertain due to policy fluctuations, such as the fluctuation of support for the EV market in the United States.

The continuous highlighting of supply chain and cost pressures

The restructuring of the global supply chain is one of the core challenges for the industry in 2025. The trend of offshore outsourcing is beneficial for American companies, and the proximity advantages of local supply chains (such as shortening delivery cycles and reducing logistics risks) are frequently mentioned. However, the problem of insufficient domestic production capacity remains prominent - when the solution to the problem takes several days to arrive, the operational efficiency of the enterprise will be significantly affected.
