Gears to 2011 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

US demand for gears will grow 3.3 percent annually through 2011. The best prospects will come from the aerospace industry, which will post the fastest advances. Due to the dominant size of the motor vehicle market, vehicular gear assemblies will remain the largest segment, with individual types such as helical and bevel gears leading gains.

This study analyzes the $24.9 billion US gear industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1996, 2001 and 2006 and forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by material, gear product (e.g., vehicular gear assemblies, speed reducers and changers, gearmotors, helical, spur, bevel); and market (e.g., motor vehicles, machinery, aerospace, marine).

The study also considers market environment factors, evaluates company market share and profiles 31 major players including General Motors, Ford, Eaton, DaimlerChrysler, American Axle.& Manufacturing, and Honda.
