Super Precision Bearing Market Size, Share & Growth by 2028

The super precision bearing market size is expected to grow from US$ 8,780.12 million in 2022 to US$ 13,100.28 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2028.

The super precision bearing market growth in North America is attributed to the increasing demand for super precision bearings in automotive applications. In automotive applications, super precision bearings help reduce vibration and noise, increase vehicle service life, and reduce maintenance. Due to the benefits offered by super precision bearings, their demand in the automotive industry is growing in North America. Also, roller bearings are used in transmissions, clutches, differentials, and constant velocity joints, whereas ball bearings are used in steering systems, air conditioning systems, and wheel bearings. Thus, the rising use of these bearings in vehicles is fueling the growth of super precision bearing market.

Furthermore, the changing preference for electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles will increase the demand for super precision bearings in the market. In addition, it is also seen that the government authorities have taken various initiatives to promote electric vehicles in the region. Several US states have implemented financial incentives, which include tax credits, rebates, and registration fee reductions to promote electric vehicle adoption. For instance, Colorado offered a US$ 4,000 tax credit through 2021 on the purchase of a light-duty electric vehicle. Similarly, Connecticut allows for a reduced biennial vehicle registration fee of US$ 38 for electric vehicles. Thus, government initiatives in the region will increase the demand for electric vehicles, further boosting the super precision bearing market.

Super precision bearings are used in the manufacturing of automobiles. As per the US Department of Energy, considering data from the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), the new registration of EVs increased from 1,019,260 units in 2020 to 1,454,480 units in December 2021 with a Y-o-Y growth rate of 42.70%. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the US registered a sale of 1,000 electric trucks in 2021. The government of the US plans to minimize purchases of gasoline-powered vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and preserve the environment. Through the Washington State bill in April 2022, the US government announced the ban on nonelectric car models by 2030. Owing to this initiative, the total carbon emissions will be reduced by 65% by 2030. Such government initiatives are accelerating the sales of electric vehicles. Therefore, the growing demand for electric passenger cars, trucks, buses, and other electric vehicles and supportive government regulations for banning ICE vehicles will increase the need for super precision bearings across the US in the coming years, which will drive the market during the forecast period.

Super Precision Bearing Market - Strategic Insights

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Super Precision Bearing Market Growth 

North America is an early adopter of emerging technologies due to favorable government policies to boost innovation and reinforce infrastructure capabilities. The automotive industry in North America potentially influences the country’s economy. Unfortunately, the US was one of the worst-affected countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the crisis led to a cascading impact on multiple industries. The operations of the automotive industry were put on hold, which hampered the business dynamics in the first half of 2020. In North America, 43 states reported lower auto exports in 2020 than in 2019. According to umlaut, several airlines canceled orders for new aircraft and equipment, and Airbus and Boeing reported a drop in aircraft production. Supply chain disruptions due to travel restrictions were limiting the supply and production activities of super precision bearing solutions during the pandemic.

Since 2021, automotive and aerospace industries have been improving rapidly. Factories are churning out, and many manufacturing plants are nearly back to production levels after a temporary shutdown during the pandemic. Thus, the restart in the automotive manufacturing activities will fuel the growth of the super precision bearing market during the forecast period.
