The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Automotive Bearings Market would witness market growth of 8.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Friction causes wear and strain on bearing elements. This is compelling original equipment manufacturers to produce bearing devices that can withstand varying friction levels. Consequently, their participation in research and development activities is growing. The launch of ultra-low-friction sealed ball bearings has been recognized as one of the key trends that will fuel the development of the market over the forecast period.
Bearings for automobiles are produced via cutting-edge technologies and advanced materials. Due to its low price and sturdiness, high-carbon chromium steel is used to manufacture bearings. In addition to ceramics, stainless steel and plastic are used to manufacture bearings. Principal varieties of automotive rolling element bearings are tapered roller, needle roller, spherical roller, and cylindrical/straight roller. These bearings are extensively used in vehicle systems, particularly in the engine, transmission, and wheels (needle rollers for wheel bearings are excluded).
The growth of the market is driven by factors such as an increase in vehicle production, efforts to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, an increase in demand for luxury features in vehicles, a rise in disposable income, and a surge in sales of luxury vehicles in developing nations. Moreover, the increase in safety & comfort features in vehicles, the emergence of sensor bearing units, and the growth of technologies for additive manufacturing to manufacture bearings are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for market participants.
