Surging Demand for Innovative Components to Augment the Global Automotive Connecting Rod Bearing Market Size

Surging usage of advanced materials to increase the lifespan of automotive connecting rod bearings is anticipated to propel the market. Increasing demand for performance-oriented components with high reliability and durability is another major factor that is expected to bode well for the global automotive connecting rod bearing market growth in the assessment period.

High demand for passenger cars and commercial vehicles is also expected to push the market. Aftermarket sales of automotive connecting rod bearings are likely to surge at a rapid pace as regular oil and oil filter changes lower the wear of bearings.

According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2021, approximately 82,684,788 vehicles were sold across the globe. The number is anticipated to increase in future, thereby propelling the global market.

Declining Battery Prices to Hamper the Global Automotive Connecting Rod Bearing Market Growth

Increasing production of battery electric vehicles across the globe may hamper the demand for automotive connecting rod bearing. High research & development expenditure and ongoing technological advancements are expected to decline the prices of batteries.

Governments of various countries are also investing huge sums in the development of charging station infrastructure worldwide. Besides, need to reduce carbon emission from conventional vehicles is likely to push sales of electric vehicles and obstruct the market.
