In a major industry initiative, Gear Technology India’s research team has recently conducted a comprehensive study on the role and performance of gear systems across multiple industrial sectors, including aerospace and defence, energy and power generation, mining and quarrying, marine and shipbuilding, agriculture, food processing, steel, cement, and advanced manufacturing.
This exclusive research publication highlights how gears continue to serve as the silent backbone of modern industry, enabling motion, power transmission, and precision across critical infrastructure and production systems. With the global industrial gear market valued at nearly USD 222 billion in 2025 (as per Mordor Intelligence report), the research reflects the growing strategic importance of gear technology in driving efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability.
Drawing upon engineering expertise, industry data, and field-level insights, the study examines extreme performance demands—from high power-density aerospace gearboxes to ultra-high torque systems in sugar mills and mining machinery. It presents how modern material science, advanced surface treatments, and precision CNC manufacturing are enabling gears to perform under harsh operating environments and heavy load conditions.
A strong emphasis is placed on compliance with international standards established by bodies such as the American Gear Manufacturers Association and the International Organisation for Standardisation, outlining their influence on quality assurance, benchmarking, and global competitiveness.
The report also highlights India’s emergence as one of the world’s leading gearbox markets, supported by established manufacturers including Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd., Elecon Engineering Company Ltd., and Shanthi Gears Ltd. These companies continue to deliver critical solutions for power, defence, marine, and infrastructure projects in India and overseas.
Aligned with Industry 4.0, the research highlights the industry’s shift towards intelligent gear systems driven by IoT, artificial intelligence, and predictive maintenance technologies. It also examines emerging sustainability and electrification trends, marked by the growing use of electric and low-emission equipment, along with increased localisation supported by public-sector procurement initiatives involving Coal India Limited.
With detailed technical tables, industry benchmarks, and India-focused case studies, this research serves as a strategic knowledge resource for engineers, plant heads, technology consultants, procurement leaders, and policymakers. It reflects GTI’s commitment to strengthening the manufacturing ecosystem through high-quality, actionable research.
