High Growth Forecasted for the World Bearings Market

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report related to
the Industrial equipment industry is available in its catalogue.

World Bearings Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p091960/World-Bearings-Market.html

Global demand to rise 6.4% annually through 2012

Global demand for ball, roller and plain bearings is forecast to climb
6.4 percent annually through 2012 to $66.2 billion. Aftermarket sales
gains will be limited by increases in average bearing life, reflecting
the use of improved product designs, better-quality materials and better
lubricants. However, growing demand for more expensive, better performing
bearings will provide a counterbalance, supported in part by high energy
prices, which are making highly efficient bearings a more attractive
investment.

Gains to occur in both developing, developed areas

Product demand in developing parts of Asia/Pacific, Eastern Europe,
Africa/ Mideast and Latin America will outpace sales in the US, Western
Europe and Japan through 2012. Market advances in developing areas will
be fueled by healthy economic growth, ongoing industrialization efforts
and rising personal income levels, bolstering manufacturing output and
fixed investment expenditures. In addition, higher living standards will
help stimulate demand for automobiles and other bearing-containing
durable goods, boosting both OEM and MRO bearing sales. China, India and
Russia are expected to record some of the strongest gains, followed by
lowervolume markets like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Romania.

Bearing demand in the US, Western Europe and Japan will rise as well.
Advances will be spurred by largely favorable economic climates and
higher per capita income, resulting in increased manufacturing activity
and consumer spending for durable goods. Although representing mature
markets, these areas will remain the most intensive users of bearing
products because of the advanced industrial and technological nature of
their economies, as well as the large numbers of bearing-containing
equipment in use -- supporting substantial aftermarket bearing demand.

More Details

Unmounted roller bearings to be fastest growing type

Unmounted roller bearings will register the strongest market gains
through 2012, driven by increased output of products such as construction
and mining machinery, conveyors, machine tools and wind turbines. Demand
for mounted and combined ball/roller bearings is also expected to climb
at an above-average rate, fueled by world economic and manufacturing
sector growth, bolstering both OEM and MRO product demand. Sales of
unmounted ball and plain bearings will expand at a somewhat slower pace,
although suppliers will benefit from increased output of items like
electrical and electronic equipment, motor vehicles and aerospace
equipment.

Aerospace equipment, electronics, medical devices among best prospects

Bearings used in non-automotive, nonindustrial machinery settings will
post the most robust sales gains through 2012, benefitting from the
healthy outlook for a number of products included here, such as aerospace
equipment, electronic devices and medical instruments. Growth in
industrial machinery bearing demand is also expected to be healthy,
stimulated by increases in global manufacturing activity, helping to spur
associated fixed investment expenditures. Demand for bearings used in
motor vehicle applications will rise at a slower rate, constrained by a
shift in the product mix toward smaller cars and the greater longevity of
newer bearing products.
