Development status of gear and drive components manufacturing industry in China

Gears, transmissions and drive components enable the transmission of power and motion from the prime mover to the actuator, and are used primarily in a variety of mechanical devices to adjust torque, adjust speed, and change the mode of motion. As the intermediate link of the power source and actuator of mechanical products, the application of transmission equipment is very extensive. For products applied in different fields, there are different requirements for accuracy, smoothness, and longevity. Because of its extensiveness and diversity, we must pay great attention to the manufacture of gears, transmissions and drive components in the process of revitalizing China's equipment manufacturing industry. In 2009, the manufacture of gears, transmissions and drive components in China underwent the adverse effects of the international financial crisis. The industry continued to maintain stable growth. Although the growth rate has fallen sharply from the previous year, it has been affected by the financial crisis in developed countries such as the United States and Japan. Under the circumstances that led to the reduction of industrial sales, the steady growth of China's manufacturing of gears, transmissions, and drive components is still attracting worldwide attention. China has become a global leader in the production of gears and other transmission equipment.

Gears, transmissions and drive components are among the most basic components in mechanical equipment. There are a large number of companies producing gear components in various countries. In foreign countries, the production of drive-driven components is based on specialization. The general enterprise scale is medium and small, and the number of people is from tens to hundreds; there are also many companies that are global and have their production and sales in all countries of the world. Service outlets; some other drive-drive parts companies are part of the larger group companies. China now ranks among the world's largest producers of transmission-driven components, but it mainly focuses on mid- to low-end products. At present, several countries or regions with the largest global market share of transmission drive components are Germany, North America, Japan, South Korea, and some European countries such as Italy and France, as well as China.

The rapid development of China's national economy and the adjustment of the industrial structure of foreign developed countries have brought opportunities for growth in China's gear, transmission, and drive components industries. The ever-increasing domestic and foreign market demand has driven the rapid development of the entire industry and has enabled the industry to increase its production capacity rapidly. The total production volume has increased substantially.
