Global Engine Bearings Market is valued at approximately USD 2.91 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 3.5% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Engine bearings are critical components in internal combustion engines that facilitate the smooth and efficient rotation of various engine parts. These bearings provide essential support and reduce friction between moving components, such as the crankshaft and connecting rods, allowing them to rotate with minimal resistance. The primary function of engine bearings is to support the rotating shafts while ensuring proper alignment and reducing wear on the engine components. The Engine Bearings Market is expanding because of factors such as the expansion of the automotive industry, the growing industrial machinery sector, growing global industrialization and infrastructure development.
The steady rise in global vehicle production, fueled by increasing consumer demand, economic growth, and urbanization, directly impacts the demand for engine bearings. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers benefit from higher production volumes. The International Energy Agency estimates that there were more than 16.5 million electric vehicles in use worldwide in 2021, an increase of 61% is 10.2 million units in the year 2020. Moreover, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, In the year 2022, around 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced worldwide which indicated an increase of 5.7% compared to the year 2021. In addition, increased focus on electric vehicles and ongoing advancements in materials and manufacturing technologies are creating new opportunities for market growth. However, fluctuating raw material prices stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Engine Bearings Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022. The Engine Bearings Market in this region benefits from the significant presence of major automotive suppliers and robust automotive production.
