In year 2020, the thin section ball bearings market is expected to witness a decline owing to the outbreak of COVID-19. The pandemic has rapidly and seriously affected and increased the risk of shortages of the global supply chain of thin section ball bearings. Leading raw material manufacturers and market exporters face several challenges, including the reduction in supplies of raw materials and the export of goods as a result of transport shortages.
As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Akshata Ahire, “The Global Thin Section Ball Bearings Market is anticipated to witness significant growth during forecast period 2020-2027, mainly driven by increasing automation and use of robotics across several industries. Additionally, the preference towards light weight applications is resulting in the expansion of the market. However, high prices associated with the market price of thin section ball bearings is a major factor hindering the global market. Key players in the market are actively focusing on R&D activities to make developments and advancements in thin section ball bearings.”
Key Takeaways from the Study
- Top four market participants hold approximately one third of market share of global thin section ball bearings market in year 2019.
- North America accounts for a major share of the market, followed by Europe, and Asia Pacific. The market in Europe is projected to expand at significant CAGR during the forecast period.
- The robotics segment is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The use of thin section ball bearings in robotics improves the resistance, speed, and precision, ultimately leading to high demand for these bearings in robotics applications.
