Global Timing Belt Market Driven by Consistent Demand from Replacement Segment

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Timing Belt Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027”, the global timing belt market reached a value of US$ 6.51 Billion in 2021. A timing belt is a part of an engine that is used to create sync between the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. It aids in opening and closing engine valves during the intake and exhaust strokes of each cylinder. It is a synthetic rubber strap consisting of fiber strands that offer strength and nylon-reinforced cords that assist in extending its lifespan. It also comprises teeth on the inner surface which fit into the grooves on the end of the camshaft and crankshaft to avoid slipping. Apart from being used in automobiles, it is also employed in water and oil pumps and balance shafts.

Market Trends:

Rising sales of new automobiles owing to escalating global population and inflating income levels is catalyzing the demand for automotive timing belts. Moreover, these belts require frequent replacement as their expected lifespan is approximately 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Consequently, there is a proliferating demand for these belts from the replacement segment. Apart from this, manufacturers are continually investing in research and development activities in order to introduce improved variants. For instance, the newly launched timing belts come with fiber-reinforced materials containing glass-fiber which offers relatively more durability, strength and corrosion resistance. Owing to the aforementioned factors, the global timing belt market is estimated to reach a value of US$ 8.80 Billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.0% during 2022-2027.
