A spate of technological developments use of CAD/CAM for designing and production, and intense R&D are changing the landscape in the worldwide gears industry. The automotive industry accounts for most part of the world demand for gears, drives & speed changers. Other end-use sectors include aerospace, marine and industrial markets. There is an ongoing effort to come up with product enhancements that can meet technological challenges to deliver better performance, yet at a cost that the end-user can afford. Although facing a threat from rising penetration of continuous variable transmission (CVT), the market for advanced gear technology is growing impressively.
