The Europe Automotive Bearings Market would witness market growth of 6.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
A bearing is a machine component that limits relative motion to the intended movement and reduces friction between moving parts. Automobile bearings are essential for the vehicle’s efficient and seamless operation. Their primary function is to facilitate linear or rotational motion and to withstand extreme stress. In the automotive industry, various varieties of bearings are utilized, including engine bearings, steering system bearings, transmission system bearings, and air conditioner bearings. Bearings are used in two-wheeled vehicles, personal automobiles, three-wheeled vehicles, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
The development of the market is fueled by the increasing emphasis on reducing vehicle weight, the increase in automobile production, and the rise in automobile sales. Moreover, the emergence of sensor bearing units and the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies and materials for the production of bearings are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for market participants operating in the automotive bearings industry.
Integrating sensors into automotive bearings will likely create lucrative prospects for industry suppliers. Intelligent tires rely on sensor bearings to operate smoothly. Bearing performance, durability, and dependability are monitored by sensors. Vendors employ simulation software to enhance and alter the design of vehicle bearings to the operating environment.
The expansion of the automotive industry is vital to the European economy. The automotive industry in the European Union employs 2.6 million individuals or 8.5% of all manufacturing employment. In addition, the EU is one of the world’s leading manufacturers, and the automotive industry is the largest private investor in research and development (R&D). Consequently, the European Commission encourages technical harmony and finances R&D to increase competitiveness and maintain the technological leadership of the automotive sector. The expansion of the automotive industry is anticipated to contribute to the development of the regional market.
