Rising Demand for Lightweight Gearing Systems in Electric Vehicles is Boosting Automotive Gears Market
According to our latest market study on "North America Automotive Gears Market Forecast to 2030 – Global Analysis – by Product Type, Material Type, and Application," the market was valued at US$ 7,593.71 million in 2022, and it is expected to reach US$ 10,378.52 million by 2030; it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.0% from 2022 to 2030.
Electric vehicles consist of lightweight gears for the transmission. The rising adoption of lightweight electric vehicles among North American countries has created significant opportunities for the automotive gears market growth. Electric vehicle manufacturers use single-ratio gearbox made with lightweight materials. A single-ratio gearbox changes the speed and torque for different driving conditions in electric vehicle manufacturing. The increase in investments by the key players in expanding electric vehicle manufacturing capacities created a massive demand for lightweight automotive gears. For instance, in June 2023, Ford Motors planned to invest more than US$ 9.2 billion through the United States government program to support green technologies. Ford Motor planned this investment for construction of electric vehicle production plant and its battery manufacturing plant in the US. Also, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, in 2022, leading automotive companies planned to invest more than US$ 210 billion in manufacturing electric vehicles and their components in the United States. Such investment may bolster the North America automotive gears market growth.
