Critical Dependencies
Harmonic Drive Systems is a Japanese maker of strain-wave (harmonic) gears — compact, zero-backlash precision reducers that power articulated joints in industrial robots, collaborative robots and increasingly humanoid robots. The global robot harmonic-drive reduction-gear market is projected to grow from roughly $2.06 billion in 2026 to $4.50 billion by 2034 (10.2% CAGR), while the narrower humanoid-robot harmonic-reducer market alone was valued at $482.5 million in 2025 and is projected to reach nearly $15.7 billion by 2032; Harmonic Drive Systems and Nabtesco are positioned as the two anchor suppliers of this category as humanoid robot production scales.
