Abstract
Description
The global market for linear motion components was estimated to be almost
$2.8billion in 2005, with over a quarter of all products sold into the machine
tool industry. The market for pre-assembled rodless linear actuators was
estimated to be much smaller in comparison but expected to show high levels of
growth over the next few years as a result of sustained penetration of these
products into an increasingly broad range of industries
These are some of the many findings from the latest IMS study of the worldwide
market for linear motion products. The report provides market size estimates
and forecasts to 2011 for ball screws, linear guides, rodless linear
actuators, and linear tables, and shows market segmentation by product design,
product size, industry, accuracy, and geographic region.
An analysis of the competitive environment is also provided, which includes
market shares for 2005, as well as a matrix of over 80 companies active in the
market.
IMS' aim in writing this report is to provide marketing and technical
executives with an up-to-date comprehensive description of the market for
these products and to identify the trends that will affect this market over
the next five years. The full world report is comprised of three regional
volumes, EMEA, Americas, and Asia Pacific, which constitute separate Chapter s
of the study; however, these Chapter s are available individually when
required.
