An industrial gearbox is a closed system designed for the transfer of mechanical energy from one device to another, primarily employed to increase torque while reducing speed.
The main types of industrial gearbox include planetary, helical, bevel, spur, worm, and other variations. The planetary system involves a collection of gravitationally bound non-stellar objects in or out of orbit around a star or system of stars. These gearbox designs encompass parallel axis, angled axis, and other configurations, serving various applications in construction and mining equipment, automotive, industrial, power generation, marine, and other industries.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are affecting the industrial gearbox market by increasing the cost of imported gears, bearings, housings, shafts, and heat-treated components. Construction, mining, and power generation industries in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported gear systems, while Asia-Pacific exporters face pricing pressure. These tariffs are increasing capital equipment costs and delaying machinery upgrades. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional supply chain development, and innovation in compact and energy-efficient gearbox designs.

The industrial gearbox market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $32.47 billion in 2025 to $34.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial machinery expansion, demand for torque transmission, growth of mining and construction, adoption of mechanical power systems, reliance on gear-driven equipment.
The industrial gearbox market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $42.05 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to industry 4.0 adoption, expansion of wind energy installations, demand for predictive maintenance, growth of automated production lines, efficiency improvement initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of high-efficiency gear systems, growth of automation in machinery, increasing demand for heavy-duty gearboxes, integration of condition monitoring technologies, expansion of renewable energy applications.
The rising adoption of industrial automation has been a key driver of the industrial gearbox market. Industrial automation systems are computerized systems that monitor and control processes, machines, or devices to perform repetitive tasks with minimal human intervention. These systems are designed to operate independently to reduce labor requirements and improve efficiency. Industrial gearboxes support automation by efficiently transmitting power, controlling speed and torque, and ensuring precise, reliable motion in automated machinery and production systems. For instance, in September 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based non-profit organization, factories worldwide installed 541,302 new industrial robots in 2023, marking the second-highest annual total on record. Therefore, the growing adoption of industrial automation is driving the industrial gearbox market.
Major companies in the industrial gearbox market are focusing on advancing digitalized automation solutions, such as faster digitalized automation, to improve operational efficiency, enhance productivity, and reduce costs by automating manual processes. Faster digitalized automation involves the rapid integration of intelligent technologies that connect people, machines, sensors, and devices in real time, enabling traditional facilities to become smart factories. These digital process automation systems enhance responsiveness, strengthen customer-centric operations, and support higher levels of product innovation by allowing companies to adopt more agile and risk-tolerant operating models. For example, in February 2023, Schneider Electric, a global provider of energy management and automation solutions, launched its Industrial Digital Transformation Services at the 27th Annual ARC Industry Leadership Forum. This global service helps industrial enterprises implement end-to-end digital automation that is sustainable, efficient, and future-ready.
In June 2025, Allison Transmission Holdings Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired Dana Incorporated's Off-Highway business for US$2.7 billion. This acquisition enables Allison to expand its commercial-duty powertrain and industrial solutions by integrating Dana's off-highway drivetrain, axle, and propulsion technologies to serve construction, agriculture, mining, and other industrial markets, while leveraging cross-sell and cost-synergy opportunities. Dana Incorporated is a US-based company specializing in industrial gearboxes.
