Automotive Industry to account for 50% of Bearing Sales, Concludes Fact.MR

Bearing

According to a new Fact.MR report, the worldwide bearing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% between 2022 and 2032. According to the report, the sector is predicted to reach US$ 270 Billion by the end of the projection year. Extensive applicability in the construction and automotive industries is projected to support market demand significantly.

According to the analysis, the market grew at a CAGR of 6% between 2015 and 2021, reaching an anticipated worth of US$ 130 billion. Advances in seal and lubrication technologies, as well as the use of lightweight materials in high-performance products, are offering enormous potential for bearing producers.

The sale of automotive bearings is directly proportionate to the rise in vehicle manufacturing. Global passenger car manufacturing reached 69.3 million units in 2018, up 2.25% from the previous year, according to figures from the International Organization of Motor Car Manufacturers (OICA). Similarly, the introduction of smart sensor-based technologies, such as SKF’s InsightTM integrated wireless technology, is causing significant advancements in the worldwide bearings business.
