The purpose of bearings is to enable rotational or linear movement and to reduce unnecessary friction between two mating parts. Bearings are used in various assemblies in automobiles. Wheel bearings are specifically used in the Wheel Hub Assembly. The main function of automotive wheel bearings is to guide and support shafts and axles.
Automotive wheel bearings are also used to guide wheels and absorb axial and radial forces. There are mainly two types of automotive wheel bearings – roller bearings and ball bearings. Ball bearings are hardened spherical balls that decrease friction between moving parts. However, they offer low load carrying capacity as the area of contact is point only.
On the other hand, roller bearings offer high load carrying capacity as the area of contact is of line type and the load is thus distributed on a larger area. Due to advancements in area such as the advent of lubrication technology, seal technology and lightweight materials, the automotive wheel bearings market has become very competitive and is creating enormous opportunities for companies which are in automotive wheel bearings business.
Growing demand for automobile and automobile components in the world have fueled the growth of automotive wheel bearings market. The rising demand for two wheelers in the developing countries has also facilitated the growth of the global automotive wheel bearings market.
The demand for commercial vehicles has significantly increased over the past few years. Due to this, the global automotive wheel bearings market is experiencing substantial growth opportunities. Also, the production of passenger vehicles has increased worldwide due to high demand. This has also fueled the demand for global automotive wheel bearings. Furthermore, rapid industrialization in developing and under-developed economies is also boosting the market for global automotive wheel bearings.
As vehicle performance is greatly dependent on the performance of bearings, it has become necessary for the manufacturers to design technologically advanced automotive wheel bearings. Going by the latest trends, manufacturers are incorporating automotive wheel bearings with various sensors that monitor the performance of the bearings. This trend has become one of the important driving force for the global automotive wheel bearings market.
Nowadays, most of the automotive companies are focused on cost reduction. This has led the automotive wheel bearings industry to produce integrated bearings which do not only improve the efficiency of the vehicle but also reduce the cost of production.
