Gear Cutting Machine Market

A gear cutting machine is used for crating gears. A gear cutting machine is a machining tool used for cutting gear racks, gears, and worm gears. It is also used to make spur, herringbone gears, and helical gears. Cutting operations is a substitute to forming processes, such as extruding, forging, sand casting, and investment casting. Gears are commonly made from plastic, metal, and wood. Various plastic and metal gears are made without cutting, by operations such as injection molding or die casting. Gear cutting is a large industry. It is primarily used for fine finish, to rough out & finish gear teeth, round off the ends of gear teeth, and to fit gears.

The automotive industry accounts for the largest share of the gear cutting machines market and is estimated to lead the overall market in the coming years. The automotive industry is the major consumer of machine tools such as gears. The evolution of the automotive industry in developing countries such as China, Japan, and India and others is the primary growth factor for the gear cutting machine market. Furthermore, one of the reasons for growth of the gear cutting machine market is development in the most significant component in automotive sector named transmission gears. Another factor contributing to the growth of the market is 3D printing of gears. 3D printing enables the production of complex geometries that cannot be manufactured using traditional techniques. Improvements in 3D printing technology would result in its increased adoption, thereby leading to the growth of the gear cutting machine market. High initial capital investment, use of exclusive and costly material in the manufacturing of gears, and local regulatory body hurdles might act as restraints to the growth of the gear cutting machine market.

The gear cutting machine market is segmented on the basis of type, application, end-user, and region. Based on type, the market is classified as gear grinding machine, gear hobbing machine, gear shaving machine, gear shaping machine, and others. Based on application, the market is segmented into general industrial gear application, and vehicle gear application.
