Rubber Transmission Belts Market Segment Analysis – By Product Type

V-belts held the largest share in the rubber transmission belts market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. V-belts are used in various industries depending on the application and purpose. V-belts are made of polyesters and are widely used in internal combustion engines to rotate the wheels. Moreover, V-belts are they are suitable for high power transmission in short rotations. The V-belt angle is usually between 30 inches to 40 inches. To increase power output, a few V-belts may work side by side so that the load is evenly distributed between them.
The major pros of V-belts are that they have high transmission capacity with high, the performance of the belt and pulley is smooth, provides tightness due to the small distance between the centers of the pulleys, the axis can be horizontal, vertical or curved, V-belts can reduce vibration. Specialty belts can be designed with customizations so that they can be used in specific applications. The aforementioned wide adaptability of V-belts is expected to drive the market segment in the forecasted period.

Rubber Transmission Belts Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The industrial segment held a significant share of around 46.5% in the Rubber transmission belts market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.
