Bearing Market Dynamics

Driver: Increased Application Of High-Capacity Bearings In Wind Turbines

Bearing industry is shifting toward developing new types of application-specific bearings for the wind energy segment as the world is becoming more concerned about the environment. Wind turbines generate power without carbon-dioxide emissions and have gained widespread acceptance as the cleanest and eco-friendly source of energy. These turbines require large, high-quality, maintenance-free bearings for saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. Utilization of proper bearing solution in wind turbines helps in reducing lubricant consumption, increasing energy production, and enhancing turbine performance & reliability.

Due to the rising number of wind installations worldwide, the product demand has increased significantly. The increasing demand for energy efficiency in a range of applications is continuously leading to an improvement in wind turbine components, including bearing designs. Moreover, countries have accelerated their investments globally in installing offshore wind farms, despite their costly and complex maintenance operations.

Driver: Increasing Demand For Bearings In Energy-Efficient Vehicles

Most of the major vehicle manufacturers have introduced some electric vehicle (EV) in recent years. The rising adoption of energy-efficient vehicles has led to innovations in bearings as well. Reduced energy consumption is one of the most imperative objectives in order to save the environment, which can be achieved by reducing friction. So, energy-saving and bearings go hand-in-hand. The main objective is to save energy by reducing the friction caused between mechanical parts, be it during the rotation of shafts of a transmission or the wheel of a vehicle.

A bearing is a key machine element with respect to improving the energy efficiency of a vehicle. Energy-efficient bearings help in increasing mileage for energy-efficient vehicles. Bearings help in lowering the levels of friction and heat dissipation as well as in supporting higher efficiency and operating speeds of an electric motor, thereby addressing the particular requirements of high power density electric motors for electric and hybrid vehicles.

Restraint: Counterfeit Products

Counterfeiters create counterfeit packaging with identical serial numbers, company logos, and even UPCs of bearings, which is a major restraint. The parts are cheaply manufactured using suspect labor practices and poor-quality materials or are old refurbished bearings. Asian countries, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, are big market for these counterfeit bearings. Infrastructure development and widespread industrialization in the region have resulted in China dominating the bearings manufacturing market. Since counterfeiting hinders the growth of genuine manufacturing, local authorities and international anti-counterfeiting organizations are working together to combat the issue.

Research Methodology

A three-pronged approach was followed for deducing the bearing market estimates and forecasts. The process has three steps: information procurement, analysis, and validation. The whole process is cyclical, and steps repeat until the estimates are validated. The three steps are explained in detail below:

Information procurement: Information procurement is one of the most extensive and important stages in our research process, and quality data is critical for accurate analysis. We followed a multi-channel data collection process for bearing market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.

  • We buy access to paid databases such as Hoover’s and Factiva for company financials, industry information, white papers, industry journals, SME journals, and more.
  • We tap into Grand View’s proprietary database of data points and insights from active and archived monitoring and reporting.
  • We conduct primary research with industry experts through questionnaires and one-on-one phone interviews.
  • We pull from reliable secondary sources such as white papers and government statistics, published by organizations like WHO, NGOs, World Bank, etc., Key Opinion Leaders (KoL) publications, company filings, investor documents, and more.
  • We purchase and review investor analyst reports, broker reports, academic commentary, government quotes, and wealth management publications for insightful third-party perspectives.

Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of bearing market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.

  • Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.

  • Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.

  • Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.

  • Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.

Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.

  • Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.

  • Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.

  • This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.

  • Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
