According to Nova one advisor, the global Bearing market size is expected to hit around USD 243.09 billion by 2030 from valued at USD 121.35 billion in 2021 and growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2030.
A bearing is a machine component that constrains relative motion and reduces friction between moving parts of a machine. Ball bearings, roller bearings, spherical bearings, and sleeve bearings are the different bearing types, used in automotive, construction, and aerospace applications. Bearings used in diverse machinery need to be monitored continuously to ensure the efficiency, reliability, and consistency of operations. Upcoming technologies, such as smart bearings, are likely to help manufacturers monitor bearing operations constantly. The opportunity for the bearing market to expand is influenced by an increase in the demand for bearings from the automobile industry. The various types of bearings used in automobiles include automotive mounted bearings, and air bearings, which comprise car hub unit bearings, truck hub units, belt tensioner units, water pump spindles, clutch release bearings, propeller shaft support bearings, propeller shaft centering bearings, suspension bearings, and free wheel clutches. Growth in demand for specialized bearing solutions that meet different industry-specific requirements is projected to boost the market during the forecast period.

Rapid Growth in Automotive Sector to Drive Global Bearing Market
In terms of application, the global bearing market has been classified into automotive, construction, aerospace, power transmission, oil & gas, agriculture, and others. The automotive segment held major share of the bearing market in 2021. This is due to increase in demand for bearings in automotive parts of the vehicle. Increase in production of vehicles across the globe is directly fueling the demand for bearings used in automotive parts. Thrust bearings or helical gears are the most common bearing utilized in modern automobile gearboxes (in cars) for forward gears, which improve smoothness and ensure noise reduction but produce axial forces that must be managed. Radio antenna masts may include thrust bearings to lighten the weight of an antenna rotator. Bearings are the most important part of machines to provide motion and to help run machines/vehicles smoothly and more efficiently, which is also encouraging the growth of the global bearing market. Increase in industrialization has been one of the major factors leading to rise in vehicle production, which has propelled the adoption of bearings. Globally, sales of electric vehicles have also boosted the demand for bearings in the automotive sector. Therefore, development of the automotive sector is expected to augment the global bearing market during the forecast period.
Significant Usage of Bearings in Defense and Aerospace Industry to Augment Global Bearing Market
Various countries globally are revving up their defense infrastructure, which in turn is likely to increase the demand for bearings. Specialized bearings such as thrust bearings and linear bearings are needed for mission-critical uses in aerospace equipment. Companies such as SKF create specialist energy-efficient ball bearings with specific lubricants that decrease friction. These bearings have far lower bearing temperatures, longer grease life, and longer service intervals, besides using less energy. Smart bearings have in-built sensors to provide data about their surroundings, such as vibration, temperature, direction, speed, load, amounts of debris, and other elements. The data collected by smart bearings is sent to a control system that keeps track of the specific bearing activity; for instance, smart bearings used in automobile wheel applications to track speed information. The future of bearings is likely to depend on technologies that are expected to aid producers in continuously monitoring bearing functions, such as smart bearings, and magnetic bearings.
Increase in Preference for Low Cost and Easily Replaceable Ball Bearings
In terms of product, the bearing market has been segmented into ball bearing, roller bearing, plain bearing, and others (air bearings, magnetic bearings, etc.). The ball bearing segment held major share of the global bearing market in 2021, and it is expected to maintain its leading position in the market during the forecast period. Light vehicle and heavy vehicle manufacturers opt for ball bearings. This is expected to boost the segment during the forecast period. Production of light vehicles is projected to rise, globally, in the next few years due to demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Ball bearings can handle lesser loads at a faster speed as compared to linear bearings. Under shock and impact loads, linear bearings function better. Typically, ball bearings are offered in assemblies, and they are easily replaced as single parts and available at a lower cost. Furthermore, the compact nature of ball bearings is enhancing their utility among end-users. All these factors are expected to boost the global bearing market during the forecast period.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 41.01% in 2021. The region is also anticipated to witness the fastest growth in terms of revenue, accounting for over USD 98.70 billion by 2030. China is one of the major markets, and sale in the country is expected to catapult over the foreseeable years stimulated by the rapid expansion of machinery and motor vehicle production coupled with a strong aftermarket for industrial equipment and motor vehicle repair. Moreover, the robust construction and mining equipment market in India is estimated to facilitate market growth through 2030.
In Europe, the market is anticipated to witness favorable growth during the forecast period, owing to sustainable economic growth and increased investment. Furthermore, in the mature markets of the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan, the demand is driven by the rebounding production of motor vehicles and a healthy fixed investment environment. Increased sales of high-value bearings, such as large-diameter, custom-built used in heavy machinery, and wind turbines are also expected to drive the market in North America. In the Middle East and Africa, the rapid development of city infrastructures is positively influencing overall growth.
