The study encompassed four primary tasks to determine the present scope of the automotive gears market. Initially, extensive secondary research was conducted to gather data on the market, its related sectors, and overarching industries. Subsequently, these findings and assumptions were corroborated and validated through primary research involving industry experts across the value chain. Employing both bottom-up and top-down methodologies, the complete market size was estimated. Following this, a market breakdown and data triangulation approach were utilized to determine the size of specific segments and subsegments within the market.
Secondary Research
The secondary sources referred to for the study of the automotive gears market are directly dependent on end-use industry growth. Market sales and end-use industry demand are derived through secondary sources such as the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), Japan Automobiles Manufacturers Association (JAMA), corporate filings such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements, and paid repository. Historical production data has been collected and analyzed, and the industry trend is considered to arrive at the forecast, further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the market. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as CXOs, vice presidents, directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from various key companies. Various system integrators, industry associations, independent consultants/industry veterans, and key opinion leaders were also interviewed.
Primary interviews have been conducted to gather insights such as automotive gears market sizing estimation and forecast, future technology trends, and upcoming technologies in the market. Data triangulation of all these points was done using the information gathered from secondary research and model mapping. Stakeholders from the demand and supply sides have been interviewed to understand their views on the aforementioned points.
Primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand-side (end-use industries) and supply-side (automotive gears providers) across four regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Approximately 50% and 50% of the primary interviews were conducted on the OEMs and component manufacturer sides. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. After communicating with primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales and operations, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report. After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This and the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions have led us to the conclusions described in the remainder of this report.

Market Definition
Automotive Gear: A gear is a roller-shaped component with teeth along its outer edge, used in machines to transfer speed and torque between vehicle shafts. Gears enable different torque and speed ratios and can change the direction of the driven or driving shaft—the teeth on the gear wheel interlock to facilitate the transfer of speed and torque. Automotive Gears are mainly used in automotive transmissions, differentials, steering systems, and other applications.
