The global aerospace bearing market size was US$ 7.1 billion in 2021. The global aerospace bearing market is forecast to grow to US$ 13 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Aerospace bearings are used in aircraft to lower radial and axial stresses on rotating parts. Thus, it improves the aircraft's fuel efficiency dramatically. These aerospace bearings are also designed to lower aircraft maintenance costs and timelines. Different types of bearings are ball bearings, plain bearings, and roller bearings, are already. All aircraft, including wide-body planes, narrow-body planes, freighters, and regional jets, use aerospace bearings.
Factors Affecting the Aerospace Bearing Industry
The aerospace bearing market is forecast to grow due to the rapid expansion of the aviation industry globally. In addition, rising global air passenger traffic and enhanced aircraft movements are expected to boost the aerospace bearing market during the study period.
Market players in the aerospace bearings industry are highly focused on introducing lightweight and fuel-efficient solutions. Thus, it will contribute to market growth.
Increased demand for new aircraft for long-haul and short-haul flights is expected to propel the aerospace bearing market forward over the forecast period.
