Global Harmonic Drive Market Overview
The Global Harmonic Drive market size at around USD 210 million in 2019 and is estimated to reach over USD 330 million in 2026, a CAGR of about 7.5%. The rising demand for robots in diverse applications ranging from industrial to medical has boosted the harmonic drive in the robotics industry. Additionally, the disruption of the healthcare industry due to the extensive usage of medical robots and the need for Strain wave gearing, cycloidal drive, and torque transmission are highly benefitting the market growth. The growing automation in the healthcare and industrial sector has increased the demand for robots. Further, the usage of robots for better performing operations resulting in scanning vital signs, the patient's pulse, and others boost the market growth. These main drivers will anticipate the market growth in the robotics industry during the upcoming years. But, the significant challenges which is hindering the adoption of robotics are the cost and lack of skilled people operating the robots.
The increasing use of surgical robots in the healthcare sector, worldwide. Surgical robots playing the role of assisting in surgeries. Currently, a number of hospitals are rapidly adopting surgical robots as is mainly dominated by surgical procedures. Thus, increasing use of surgical robots for providing noteworthy benefits will increase the demand for high precision harmonic drive for robotics. Rising demand for flexibility, compact and precise robots from the industrial sector. Thus, this has also developed the need for actuators and gear which should have compactness, light-weight, precision, and provide maximum performance that can be used in complex robotics. Thus, it will further drive the harmonic drive in the robotics market. The latest trend is the rising adoption of medical robotic globally is likely to open a new window of opportunity in the upcoming years.
