KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
The global Ball Screw Market is projected to grow from USD 1648.76 million in 2021 to USD 2468.63 million by 2028 at a CAGR of 5.20% during the forecast period.
A ball screw is an inclined plane that revolves around a cylinder made of a variety of materials. The screw is a cylinder with a sild head on one end and a pointy tip on the other end, similar to a nail, and most significantly, ridges winding around it. The thread is the ridges that go around the cylinder. The ball screw is only utilized in specialized industries. The ball screw's main function is to convert rotary motion into linear motion, which is used in a variety of tasks. The ball screw assembly consists of a ball nut and a ball screw with recirculating ball bearings.
The Ball Screw Market is driven by increasing demand for ball screws in cutting-edge technology products. Ball screws are utilized in a variety of applications, including machine tools, semiconductors, medical equipment, and laboratory equipment. Ball screws are also utilized in operations such as the PAXWAY aircraft passenger boarding bridge at airports, the control system for nuclear power plant control rods, and the control system for chemical plant pipework. The market for ball screws is primarily driven by the aforementioned applications during the forecast period.
COVID-19 ANALYSIS
Over the previous 18 months, almost every industry in the world has suffered a setback. This can be ascribed to severe disruptions in their respective manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of various precautionary lockdowns and other limitations imposed by governments all over the world. The global Ball Screw market is no exception. Furthermore, consumer demand has decreased as people are now more focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets since the general economic situation of most people has been badly impacted by the outbreak. Over the forecast period, the aforementioned factors are likely to weigh on the worldwide Ball Screw market's revenue trajectory. The global Ball Screw market is likely to revive as regional government agencies begin to abolish these enforced lockdowns.
