The global bearing market was estimated to be US$ 108.43 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 289.05 Billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 10.3%.

High mechanical strength, ease of operation & manufacturing, and strong demand from wide applications are the key factors driving the growth of the global bearing market.

A bearing is a simple mechanical component used in a machinery or an equipment to facilitate smooth mechanical operations through reduced friction between moving parts. Bearings have evolved from hand manufactured mechanical element to sophisticated machinery component designed with advanced tools such as CAD or CAM and manufactured with the help of industrial automation.

The demand for bearings has increased significantly during latter half of the past century owing to increased adoption across wide industrial and residential applications. The bearings facilitate smooth or friction less operation of equipments and thus, extends the operational life of an equipment. Additionally, bearings contribute towards improving the efficiency of an equipment and reducing energy consumption. With expanding application base around the globe, the global bearing market is anticipated to witness prominent growth during the forecast period.

North America contributed the largest share to the global bearing market in 2019 owing to increased demand from heavy machinery manufacturing and aerospace & defense industry. Additionally, increasing investment in development or green energy solutions and aerospace and defense equipment manufacturing is anticipated to bolster the growth of the North America bearing market during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period owing to expanding manufacturing industry. Growth in automotive, heavy machinery, process equipment, and consumer goods industry is anticipated to contribute towards the healthy growth of bearing market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
