Revival of the construction industry post economic slowdown is one of the major factors driving the global bearings market. Increased industrial production and agricultural mechanization coupled with the growing demand from aerospace and automotive sectors is also influencing the market demand. These factors are expected to contribute towards a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% during the forecast period 2016 – 2023. However, issues such as lack of product differentiation resulting in price wars and profit crunching pose moderate challenge to the market growth. The global bearings market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2016 to 2023, exceeding US$ 141.3 Bn by 2022.

On the basis of product type, the global bearings market is categorized into following segments:
In terms of revenue, ball bearings dominated the global bearings market in the base year of 2015. The segment accounted for over 39% of the global bearings market revenue in the same year. Ball bearings are further classified into thrust ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, radial deep grove ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings and wheel hub ball bearing units. Ball bearings have comparatively smaller surface contact, which, in turn helps to minimize friction to a large extent. In addition, their ability to rotate evenly and exhibit continual raceway makes them a preferred choice to be used with radial and thrust loading. On the other hand, roller bearings are presumed to witness strong growth during the forecast period 2016 – 2023 on account of growing use across heavy load applications. Plain bearing and jewel bearings are also expected to exhibit steady growth over the forecast period.
On the basis of application, the global bearings market is categorized into following segments:
The contribution of these applications to the global bearings market in 2015 and 2023 is as shown in the figure below
As of 2015, the global bearings market was led by the industrial heavy machinery (construction and mining, agriculture) segment in terms of revenue. The segment accounted for over 30% of the global bearings market revenue in the same year and is expected to exhibit steady growth during the forecast period led by the revival of the construction industry post economic recovery. In addition, growing farm mechanization, especially in emerging agrarian economies has favored the market demand. The automotive was the second largest end-user market, which accounts for around one-fourth of the global market revenue. The market for automotive bearings is expected to be driven by growing demand and production of off-highway and two-wheeler vehicles. Other segments including aerospace and transportation (ex- railway) are all set to witness robust growth over the forecast period 2016 – 2023.
On the basis of geography, the global bearings market is segmented into following regions and countries.
The contribution of these regions (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW) to the global bearings market in 2015 is as shown in the figure below
In the base year of 2015, Asia Pacific was the largest bearings market in terms of both revenue and volume. The region accounted for over 39% of the global bearings market revenue in the same year and is expected to exhibit strong growth led by demand from China. China is currently the largest producer and consumer of bearings in Asia Pacific followed by India. The trend shall prolong and the region is poised to retain its leading position throughout the forecast period 2016 – 2023. The demand for bearings in the region is also attributed to the flourishing construction and industrial sectors. Developed markets including North America and Europe witnessed lackluster growth in recent years due to economic slowdown. However, with markets showing economic stability, the industrial and construction sector in these regions is poised to regain its original growth levels, offering the necessary traction to the market growth.
