What are the top drivers to the rising demand in the needle roller bearings market?
The rising popularity of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the needle roller bearings market going forward. Electric vehicles are vehicles powered by electric motors using energy stored in rechargeable batteries instead of traditional internal combustion engines. They offer eco-friendly transportation by producing zero emissions during operation. The popularity of electric vehicles is due to sustainable transportation, energy efficiency, lower operating costs, reduced noise pollution, and smart charging solutions. Needle roller bearings are used in electric vehicles to reduce friction, support high loads, and enhance the efficiency and compactness of electric motors, transmissions, and other vital components. Their use helps optimize the vehicle’s performance, durability, and energy consumption, critical for extending battery life and range. For instance, in January 2024, according to a report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based federal agency that provides independent, comprehensive data, analysis, and forecasts related to energy in the United States, the combined sales of hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the United States accounted for 16.3% of all new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales in 2023, up from 12.9% in 2022. Therefore, the rising popularity of electric vehicles is driving the needle roller bearings market.
