Competitive Landscape
Manufacturers in the bearing industry are more motivated to produce unique patented goods in order to meet the growing demand for optimum materials and designs.
Another key reason that is expected to enhance bearing demand throughout the forecast period is the Industry 4.0 movement, which is gaining traction in manufacturing and industrial automation. Market participants are progressively working on refining their goods’ interior designs while also maximizing other elements such as cage design, among others.
Consistent developments in bearing technology, particularly for high-speed applications, are expected to drive market expansion. Leading bearing manufacturers are aiming to exploit important growth tactics, which include introducing new product lines, creating strategic alliances with current manufacturers, acquiring rivals, and obtaining collaborations with major organizations.
- For instance, NTN Corporation has launched mass production and distribution of the “ULTAGE Tapered Roller Bearing for Vehicle Application” beginning October 2020, which is designed for automotive gearboxes and differentials.
- NSK Ltd. produced a third-generation ultra-high-speed ball bearing for electric vehicle (EV) motors that can function at over 1.8 million dmN*1 in April 2021. It is the world’s quickest grease-lubricated deep groove ball bearing for automotive applications.
- AB SKF announced in March 2021 that it will invest SEK 400 million (US$ 45 million) in expanding and renovating its production site in Airasca, Italy. This investment will almost certainly introduce super-precision bearings (SuPBs) for industrial applications to Italy.
