Mounted Bearing Market worth $1.9 billion by 2025

Friday 9 October 2020, Amsterdam

The report "Mounted Bearing Market by Product, Market Channel, Housing, Equipment, End-use Industry (Agri, Transportation, Construction & Mining, F&B, Chemical & Pharma, Energy, General Industrial, Pulp & Paper, Others) and Region - Global Forecast to 2025", size is projected to grow from USD 1.4 billion in 2020 to USD  1.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.8%. Mounted units provide a multitude of application and service options to end users. A mounted unit is typically a ball or roller bearing set into a housing. These units can be designed for standard ball bearings, roller bearings, and even split bearings that allow easier mounting. They are primarily employed in both, light- and heavy-duty industries ranging from construction and mining to conveyors on a food processing line.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have slight impact on the mounted bearing market. Mounted bearings have huge potential in the process industry, paper industry, and furniture industries. Companies such as Greenply, Action Tesa and Asahi Glass are immensely reliant upon mounted bearing for material transfer and handling. Impact of COVID-19 will be higher on bigger bearings and lower on smaller bearings since the production and sales in discrete industries like cement, mining, etc have been slow lately due to lockdowns all around the world.

Asia Oceania is expected to be the largest market during the forecast
China is the largest automobile market in the world. OEMs such as Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Daimler, and Nissan have large-scale production bases in the country. Increasing focus on innovation has encouraged OEMs to address a wide array of consumer preferences in the region.

Growing focus on infrastructure developments to accommodate the growing population would represent a suitable business environment for manufacturers in the steel, cement, and metal processing sectors. As a result, industrial machinery producers would witness major growth opportunities post 2020 as the economy in the region rebounds. Major economies are expected to outline economic packages to boost the growth of small and medium companies to combat the downward economic trend due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Food & beverage segment is expected to have the largets market during the forecast
Food & beaverage industry is estimated to be the largest market of mounted bearing by end-use industry type owing to the sustainable growth of the industry, the increasing adoption of equipment, and growing automation in food processing and packaging. Equipment such as gearbox & transmission, fans & blowers, conveyors, and mixer drives are used in the food processing & packing industry. The demand for such equipment is expected to grow owing to the increasing automation, development of advanced equipment, and efforts to increase production efficiency and reduce errors in the food & beverage industry. Customized or specific mounted bearings are widely used in the food & beverage industry.

Ball bearing segment is expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period
Mounted ball bearings are composed of rolling elements that separate the inner and outer rings of a bearing. These bearings enable smooth operation, high-speed motion, and reduced friction and can sustain both, radial and axial loads. Mounted ball bearings are developed for varying applications, load types, and speeds. The mounted ball bearings segment is projected to grow at a significant rate in the coming years. Asia Oceania is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing regional market during the forecast period. The growth of the market here is driven by sustainable growth in the food & beverage and agriculture industries.

The global mounted bearing market is dominated by major players such as SKF (Sweden), Schaeffler (Germany), THE TIMKEN COMPANY (US), NSK (Japan), and ABB (Switzerland).
