Market Overview:

The global ball bearing market size reached US$ 41.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 54.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% during 2023-2028.

A ball bearing is a rolling element comprising two ring-like tracks with small rotating metal balls. It is durable and provides a smooth and low friction motion that supports axial and radial loads. It helps maintain an appropriate gap between the rotating parts while offering support to obtain the desired motion. Besides this, it aids in supporting weight, facilitating efficient power transmission, and ensuring proper alignment of movable components. As a result, it is extensively used in the manufacturing of high-speed and rotatory automobile parts, farm and medical equipment, and defense machinery.

Ball Bearing Market Trends

The expanding construction activities in the residential and commercial sectors on account of the rising global population and inflating income levels are catalyzing the demand for ball bearings in construction equipment. Apart from this, the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) due to rising environmental concerns is driving the sales of ball bearings worldwide. Additionally, the expansion of windmill farms is escalating the demand for ball bearings as they help improve the reliability, efficiency, and performance of wind turbines. Furthermore, leading manufacturers are focusing on upgrading the functional capacity of ball bearings at lower costs. They are also enhancing the features of the existing bearings, such as lowering torque, reducing weight, decreasing energy consumption, increasing temperature range, strengthening the lifecycle, and refining friction resistance, which is propelling the market growth. Apart from this, the growing awareness about the benefits of ball bearings, such as low maintenance requirement, rigidity, high frictional resistance, and longer life span, is anticipated to expand their application in various end use industries, including aerospace, transportation, and mining.
