“Rising Vehicle Production Boosts Global Demand For Plain Bearings”
- One prominent trend in the advancement of Plain Bearings is the rising vehicle production and sales across both passenger and commercial segments, which is directly boosting demand for these components in automotive systems
- Plain Bearings offer key functional benefits such as low friction, wear resistance, and support for high-load applications, making them essential for automotive, aerospace, construction, and energy sectors as industrial demand rises globally
- For instance, with the surge in automotive production in countries like China, India, and Mexico, manufacturers are increasingly using plain bearings in high-speed and heavy-duty applications such as wheel axles, suspension systems, and traction motors to improve efficiency and reduce maintenance costs
- The widespread adoption of these bearings across end-use industries improves equipment reliability, reduces maintenance frequency, and enhances overall operational efficiency—especially in infrastructure, agricultural, and oilfield machinery
- These developments are transforming industrial operations, accelerating the shift toward more durable, energy-efficient mechanical systems, and aligning with global trends such as smart manufacturing, digital integration, and sustainable industrial growth
