Bearing Market Statistics

Market Overview

Bearings refer to mechanical components that ensure a smooth movement and rotation between machinery and tools. Bearings are found in almost every piece of equipment and machinery, from vehicle parts to household appliances. The increasing need for high-performance bearings drives the market. The rising demand from the automotive sector is one of the major factors driving the market growth. Rising vehicle production and the demand for construction equipment are expected to propel the market growth over the studied period.

Highlights of the Bearing Market Report

  • Based on product, the roller bearings segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2023 due to their increased adoption in heavy-duty machinery. Exceptional high load bearing capacity of these bearings make them suitable for use in multiple applications. They are effective in reducing rotational friction. Moreover, these bearings are cost-effective compared to others. 
  • Based on material, the metal segment led the market in 2023. This is mainly due to the high usage of metal bearings due to their corrosion resistance and high durability. Materials such as stainless steel and chrome steel are widely used materials to manufacture bearings due to their excellent load carrying capacity, making them suitable for milling machines and construction equipment. 
  • On the basis of application, the automotive segment dominated the market with the largest share in 2023. This is mainly due to the heightened adoption of bearings in manufacturing vehicles to reduce their weight. The ability of bearings to rotate at high speeds with precision and to reduce noise and vibration makes them suitable for vehicles. 
  • Technological advancements: Due to the increased need for high-performance bearings, key market players have begun incorporating advanced sensor units into their products. Sensor modules help digitally monitor the product's acceleration, deceleration, rotation speed, and load-carrying capacity. These advancements help reduce maintenance costs, making them suitable for new businesses. 
  • Focus on sustainability and energy efficiency: The rising focus on enhancing energy efficiency is one of the major factors boosting the demand for bearings in various equipment. Bearings further reduce maintenance requirements, improve efficiency, and extend equipment's service life. 
  • Rising demand from the railway sector: The railway sector is focusing on cost reduction and extending the life of rails. Bearings are used in railway gearboxes to absorb the shocks and vibrations created by the force exerted by the traction motor and the wheels as they travel down the tracks. As a result, difficult operating circumstances increase engine maintenance and downtime. 
  • The surge in demand for precision bearings: The growing need for precise bearings as a result of automation is likely to boost the bearing market. Precision bearings are being more widely used in various industries, including aerospace and automotive. As a result, the surge in demand for precision bearings is driving the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
