*India Boasts a Strong Aftermarket Sales of Bearings, Growing at a Staggering CAGR of 14.7% *

India has emerged as the fastest growing aftermarket consumer of bearings, driven by a combination of factors. The country's massive vehicle fleet, comprising over 340 million registered vehicles, generates significant demand for replacement bearings. Moreover, the average age of vehicles in India is relatively high, with nearly 50% of cars on Indian roads being over 8 years old, necessitating frequent bearing replacements due to wear and tear. The challenging road conditions in India, with many unpaved and pothole-ridden roads, accelerate bearing wear and giving a boost to the bearings market in India. A survey revealed that 75% of truck drivers in India reported facing issues due to bad road conditions, leading to increased bearing failures. Additionally, inadequate maintenance practices, such as improper lubrication and overloading of vehicles, contribute to premature bearing failures. A study found that over 60% of truck breakdowns in India were due to inadequate maintenance, including bearing failures.

India's cost-conscious market further fuels the demand for affordable aftermarket bearings. In 2023, India imported over $1.2 billion worth of bearings, with a significant portion being low-cost aftermarket parts. The country's vast industrial base, large agricultural sector, and thriving bearing remanufacturing industry also contribute to the high aftermarket consumption. As the world's largest tractor market, with annual sales of over 10,11,697 units (2023), India drives significant demand for agricultural machinery bearings.

*About 60% Revenue of India Bearings market Comes from Automotive Industry *

India's automotive sector is not only vast, with over 340 million registered vehicles in 2023, but also a dynamic force in global manufacturing. As the world's largest producer of two-wheelers in 2023 and strong domestic sales figures of 19.5 million two-wheelers in FY 2023, the demand for bearings is substantial. This demand extends to the broader automotive market, where India produced 25.93 million vehicles in FY 2023. Considering an average of 36 bearings per car, the sheer volume of vehicle production translates into an enormous bearing requirement. Recent trends in passenger vehicle (PV) sales further support this. Increases in PV sales, such as the 4.3% year-over-year (YoY) growth to 288,062 units in November 2023, directly correlate to increased bearing demand.

Moreover, automotive market leaders like Maruti Suzuki, with over 46% market share, and manufacturers experiencing significant sales growth (like Mahindra with a 24.6% YoY increase in November 2023), all contribute to the thriving bearings market. Tata Motors' strength in the commercial vehicle segment also signifies a considerable need for bearings. The dominance of Hero MotoCorp in two-wheeler manufacturing further reinforces the high bearing demand within this segment.

*Ball Bearing to Overtake India Bearings market by Surpassing Roller Bearing’s Dominance, Projected to Capture Over 36.0% Revenue Share*

Ball bearings are gaining significant momentum in India. Their versatility, reliability, and friction-reducing properties make them suitable for a multitude of applications. One key factor driving the adoption of ball bearings is their ability to perform well in high-speed applications compared to roller bearings. This makes them ideal for use within automotive engines, electric motors, and high-speed machine tooling equipment. Additionally, the compact design and space efficiency of ball bearings, especially needle roller bearings, are highly advantageous in settings with limited space and radial space constraints.

The popularity of certain types of ball bearings in the India bearings market, such as self-aligning bearings, can be attributed to their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Furthermore, the growing demand for high-precision ball bearings stems from the increasing adoption of precision engineering techniques in manufacturing sectors like aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, and energy.

While roller bearings offer their own benefits, ball bearings are poised to dominate the Indian market. Their versatility, wide range of applications across industries, and efficiency boost contribute to their potential dominance. Moreover, ball bearings offer the flexibility of handling both radial and axial loads. Self-aligning ball bearings have the added advantage of tolerating small angular misalignments, making them more adaptable than roller bearings. Lastly, the simpler design of ball bearings translates to greater durability and easier maintenance requirements.
