A mounted bearing comprises a bearing enclosed within a mounting unit, typically including a housing or pillow block that supports, protects, and provides mounting surfaces for the bearing. These bearings find widespread application in industrial settings such as conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, and machinery, where they are essential for shaft support and alignment.
Mounted bearings primarily consist of ball bearings and roller bearings. A ball bearing utilizes balls to maintain separation between its bearing races, serving various equipment such as ball mill drives, fans, blowers, gearboxes, conveyors, crushers, and mixer drives. They are available in different housing configurations such as Plummer blocks, flanged blocks, and take-up blocks. These bearings are sold by original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers and are utilized across diverse industries including food and beverages, agriculture, construction, mining, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, general industrial machinery, and pulp and paper.
The mounted bearing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides mounted bearing market statistics, including mounted bearing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a mounted bearing market share, detailed mounted bearing market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the mounted bearing industry. This mounted bearing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The mounted bearing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.45 billion in 2023 to $1.54 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The historical growth can be credited to industrialization, the expansion of heavy industries, rising investments, increased machinery capacity and speed, and the growing demand for specialized bearings.
The mounted bearing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.00 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. Projected growth is expected due to population growth, the increasing adoption of automation and robotics, greater focus on environmentally friendly and sustainable practices, the rise of electric vehicles, and the globalization of manufacturing. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in materials and coatings, smart and connected bearings, the electrification of transportation, automation and robotics, and the demand for application-specific solutions.
The growth of the mounted bearing market is expected to be propelled by the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles, powered by electricity stored in batteries, are gaining popularity due to their environmental advantages and lower operational costs, making them an attractive option for consumers and businesses alike. Mounted bearings play a crucial role in EVs by supporting essential functions such as motor operation, drivetrain efficiency, wheel rotation, and overall vehicle performance. For example, the Global EV Outlook 2023 report published by the International Energy Agency noted a significant increase in electric car sales, rising by 3.5 million in 2023 compared to 2022, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. This underscores the pivotal role of electric vehicle demand in driving the growth of the mounted bearing market.
Leading companies in the mounted bearing sector are focusing on innovation to enhance performance and meet the growing demand for durable, high-precision bearings across various industries. Spherical roller bearings, for instance, are a type of bearing capable of accommodating both radial and axial loads, designed specifically to handle heavy loads and misalignments. For instance, in September 2021, AB SKF introduced a new spherical roller bearing tailored for continuous steel casting operations. These bearings are engineered to endure extreme conditions prevalent in steel manufacturing, including high temperatures, static loads, and contamination from scale, dust, and water. By addressing these operational challenges, SKF's bearings aim to minimize unplanned equipment downtime and exemplify the company's commitment to ongoing innovation in bearing technology.
In February 2023, Timken Company, a US-based manufacturer specializing in bearings and power transmission products, completed the acquisition of American Roller Bearing Company for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move aims to strengthen Timken's portfolio of engineered bearing solutions, expand its market reach to $1 trillion, and capitalize on American Roller Bearing Company's U.S. installed base and aftermarket business. The acquisition underscores Timken's commitment to growth and strategic opportunities, enhancing its competitive edge and creating value for stakeholders. American Roller Bearing Company, based in the US, is renowned for its manufacturing of roller and ball bearings.
