Global Harmonic Drive Precision Gear Reducers Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Harmonic Drive Precision Gear Reducers market size was valued at US$ 440 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 682 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.2% during review period.

A harmonic drive, also known as a strain wave gear, is a precision speed reduction mechanism that utilizes the elastic deformation of a flexible (or flexspline) wheel meshing with a rigid (or circular spline) wheel and a wave generator to transmit motion and torque. Its operation principle is based on the theory of strain wave transmission, where the wave generator induces a controlled elastic deformation in the flexible wheel, creating a tooth meshing disparity that results in speed reduction and torque multiplication. Characterized by high reduction ratios, compactness, lightweight, high rotational accuracy, and quick response, harmonic drives find extensive applications in industrial robots, precision machinery, aerospace, and more.

From a global perspective, Japan currently holds the core technology of Harmonic Drive and forms a technical barrier to high-performance reducers. It is difficult for companies in other regions to reach their technical level. Due to the strong market demand in China, more and more Chinese companies have entered the industry, and many companies have expansion plans. For example, Shenzhen Han's Motion Technology is a good new entrant. In 2023, the sales volume of harmonic reducers has reached 80,390 units. In the United States, Germany and South Korea also have R&D and production companies.

According to the report, global revenue for Strain-Wave Gearing for Precision Motion Control market was valued at $ 427.35 million in 2023, and is expected to generate revenue of $ 668.94 million by end of 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.37% between 2024 and 2030.

China holds the largest consumption market share. And its Harmonic Drive sales volume was 1,323.20 K Units in 2023, followed by Japan. Our analysts estimate that China is to lead the global market for Harmonic Drive during the forecast period, due to the rapid growth of the demand market in China. This region will account for a market share of 74.34% by 2030.

Worldwide, Industry Robot Industry was the largest consumer of Harmonic Drive, which is responsible for 84.09% of Harmonic Drive consumption volume in 2023. The remaining 15.91% was consumed for Automotive, Semiconductor Equipment Industry, Flat Panel Equipment and Machine Tools Industry among others.
