Pumps for receiving and discharging LNG to road tanks are LNG pumps. The bearing operating conditions of these pumps can be extremely harsh, as the temperature can reach -162°C, and the bearing must operate without external lubrication. For instance, MONTON designed new LNG Pump Bearings to meet these stringent performance standards. For the LNG market, 2020 was a watershed moment. The LNG market was already on the verge of oversupply in 2020 and 2021, even before the COVID-19 outbreak, as new projects continued to expand capacity well beyond consistent demand growth. Due to the pandemic, reduced gas consumption has added to excess supply, causing market instability. According to a poll conducted by the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, LNG bunker fuel is predicted to account for 13% of the entire bunker fuel market by 2030, up from 3-5% now. These changes in the LNG market's value chain necessitate the employment of cryogenic systems for LNG storage, handling, and transportation, generating the demand for low temperature bearings. Thus, the increasing demand for low-temperature bearings across the entire LNG value chain is bolstering the low temperature bearings market.
By introducing new features and technologies, vendors in the North America low temperature bearing market can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
