The inverted roller screw segment is expected to contribute second-largest revenue share in the target market.

Analysis by End User/Applications:

Among all the end user/applications segments, automotive industry segment is estimated to account for majority revenue share, and is expected to register CAGR of over 6% over the forecast period.

Analysis by Region/countries:

The market in Europe accounted for highest revenue share in 2018, and is expected to register a CAGR of above 6% over the forecast period (2019–2028). The growth of the market in Europe is driven by rapidly growing automotive industry.

Increasing demand for electric vehicles globally is expected to result in increasing production capacity as well as uptake of raw materials used for electric vehicles. Various prominent car manufacturers, as well as domestic players, are focusing on introducing and setting–up plants and manufacturing facilities, which is expected to create profitable opportunities for roller screw manufacturers to acquire a competitive edge in the target market. For instance, in June 2018, Kia Motor Corporation announced plans to set-up a manufacturing plant at Andhra Pradesh, India, aimed to manufacturing electric and hybrid vehicles in order to enhance its presence in the country and Asia Pacific region.

Increasing demand for improved productivity and high operational duty for mechanical applications such as machine presses, factory automation etc. is expected to drive growth of the global roller screw market. Roller screws serve as substitute for hydraulics systems, and have greater load and cycle capabilities. These screws are used in various industries and sectors, and for a range of applications, which is estimated to drive growth of the global roller screw market. These screws provide more elasticity in terms of motion-control competences regarding velocity, position (multiple positions, accuracy), output force, acceleration, and compound control on motion in variable circumstances among conventional systems, which is expected to propel growth of the global roller screw market.

Rapid growth of the automotive industry, along with increasing demand for roller screws for automobile manufacturing are major factors expected to drive growth of the roller screw market during the forecast period. In addition, increasing demand for roller screws for various operations such as plastic injection and blow molding machines, forming and pressing operations, bulk mixing, cutting operations, machine tool feeds, test friction welding, die cutting etc. are factors expected to augment growth of global roller screw market.

Increasing industrial application such as for production of plastic machinery, in the atomic sector, and for machine tools is one of the key factor expected to drive growth of the roller screw. Roller screws are frequently used in the oil & gas industry, owing to availability in compact design, high reliability & efficiency and capability to bear high temperatures. This is major factor expected to drive the growth of roller screw market over the next 10 years.

Increasing production of electric vehicles is expected to increase the demand for electromechanical actuator which in turn is expected to increase deamnd of roller screws in near future.
