Unprecedented double-digit annual growth of the global geared product market was experienced during 2007, which resulted in market value for gearboxes and geared motors exceeding $9 billion by the end of the year. This high growth continued well into 2008. However, a sudden fall in investment on the back of such high-growth years ensured that the first few months of 2009 witnessed almost a complete ‘freeze’ of various areas of the market. This report investigates the extent to which each area of the market for geared products will decline in 2009, and to identify when investment levels within each market sector are expected to have recovered.

The report provides separate market size estimates and forecasts to 2013 for helical, bevel, worm and planetary gearboxes and geared motors, by product design, product size, industry application, torque output, sales channel and geographic region. An analysis of the competitive environment is also provided, which includes market shares for 2007, and 2008, as well as a matrix of over 80 companies active in the market. IMS’ aim in writing this report is to provide marketing and technical executives with an up-to-date comprehensive description of the market for these products and to identify the trends that will affect this market over the next five years. The full world report is comprised of three regional volumes, EMEA, Americas, and Asia Pacific, which constitute separate chapters of the study; however, these chapters are available individually as required

The report can be purchased either as a complete study, or in each of three sections as follows:

• The Americas Market for Gearboxes and Geared Motors
• The EMEA Market for Gearboxes and Geared Motors
• The Asia Pacific and Japanese Market for Gearboxes and Geared Motors
