COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth restrained by the Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The global lockdowns and restrictions limited the accessibility to factories and restricted the workforce availability in manufacturing slip rings. Product supply chains of electronic components and raw materials were disturbed, therefore shortages and greater lead times were recorded. Confinements in transport and logistics especially impacted the delivery of the components and the finished products.

LATEST TRENDS

"Advancements in Materials and Design to Propel Market Growth"

Improvement in material and design can be seen as another factor that influences the development of the slip ring market as users demand higher performance, longer service life and better efficiency. Contemporary slip rings are produced using materials like gold alloys and advanced composites due to their high conductivity, low wear and long durability as compared to the conventional materials. These materials are useful in reducing the extent of maintenance activities and time, on a basis that is essential for industries that require reliability.

SLIP RING MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Electric slip ring, Fluid slip ring and Smooth ring.

• Electric Slip Ring- Electric slip rings are also called electrical rotary joints, rotary electrical interfaces, or rotary electrical connectors; the main function of this element is to supply electrical power and transfer various signals between a fixed structure and a rotating structure.

• Fluid Slip Ring- Liquid seal-less rotary acquisitions are called slip rings which are used to supply the fluids or gasses in revolutionary parts from a nonrotating supply. They ere vital in cases where rotation is associated with the delivery of fluids such as in the hydraulic equipment, coolant and pneumatic apparatus.

• Smooth Ring- Pancake slip rings also called smooth slip rings or flat slip rings are in fact a special category of electrical slip rings that have the form of smooth flat discs. They are created to be employed where axial space is rather restricted.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Aerospace, Military defense, Industrial production and manufacturing, Security, Wind power, Medical and Other.

• Aerospace- In aerospace, slip rings are applied to avionic systems and satellites whereby they enable the continuous flow of data and power coprocessors in facilities that rotate continuously for instance radar and imaging facilities.

• Military Defense- In military defense applications, turret and weapon systems need slip rings for controlling and offering functional communication between the fixed and the rotating aspects in unfavorable circumstances.

• Industrial Production and Manufacturing- Today, slip rings find application in industries, particularly in the manufacturing of robots or automation of machinery so that rotation of joints and conveyors is smooth and this reduces wear on cables.

• Security- In security systems, slip rings are applied in surveillance cameras and in rotary sensors hence circulating power and data continuously for constant monitoring.

• Wind Power- Slip rings are also intensively employed within the wind power applications through wind turbines converting the power acquired from the spinning blades to the stationary nacelle; hence, enhancing power generation.

• Medical- Another important application which is related to the medical field involves the use of slip rings in the equipment such as MRI and CT scanners in the continuous rotation of image parts to give high quality images.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Industrial Automation and Robotics to Drive Market Advancement"

One of the key driving factors in the Slip Ring market growth is Industrial Automation and Robotics. Two key end-user industries in the slip ring market are industrial automation and robotics; they require constant and secure power and signal connection in rotating equipment. Since organizations are implementing automation in their processes to improve efficiency, accuracy, and output, there is a higher need for sophisticated robotic structures to execute difficult operations with accuracy. The systems use slip rings since they allow the rotation of robotic arms, joints, and other system elements without the drawbacks of wires that may degrade or have restricted mobility.

"Telecommunications and Data Transmission to Expand the Market"

Electronic applications are prominent due to the growing emphasis on efficient and highly reliable data transmission systems in the telecommunications sector. In the specific context of the telecommunications industry, slip rings play a critical part within rotating systems such as; antennas, radar, as well as satellite communication equipment where they act as power couplers and high-frequency signal feed-throughs. As there is an increase in the size of the need for high speed data and bandwidth especially with the introduction of 5G and even the generations to come, the need for enhanced slip rings that can efficiently accommodate these high speed data transmissions becomes so vital.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Costs Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth "

The large initial costs for slip rings act as a strong restraint in the market. Slip rings which are used for transmitting power and signals in electromechanical systems that are in rotary applications are usually characterized by their development costs since their construction is complicated and the manufacturing is elaborate. These costs include, for instance, the type of metals to use in construction and the insulation materials to use in addition to the engineering and the highly technical processes involved in the making of these structures.
