Mounted Bearing Market Report 2026

The mounted bearing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.62 billion in 2025 to $1.72 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of industrial machinery usage, expansion of conveyor based material handling, demand for reliable shaft support systems, growth in agricultural mechanization, increased use of mounted bearings in mining equipment.

The mounted bearing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.14 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing automation in manufacturing plants, rising demand for low maintenance bearing solutions, growth in food processing and packaging industries, expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, demand for high performance bearings in harsh environments. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for heavy duty mounted bearings, growth in self aligning bearing units, increasing adoption of sealed and lubricated for life bearings, expansion of mounted bearings in conveyor systems, demand for corrosion resistant housing materials.

The growth of the mounted bearing market is expected to be propelled by the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles, powered by electricity stored in batteries, are gaining popularity due to their environmental advantages and lower operational costs, making them an attractive option for consumers and businesses alike. Mounted bearings play a crucial role in EVs by supporting essential functions such as motor operation, drivetrain efficiency, wheel rotation, and overall vehicle performance. For example, the Global EV Outlook 2023 report published by the International Energy Agency noted a significant increase in electric car sales, rising by 3.5 million in 2023 compared to 2022, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. This underscores the pivotal role of electric vehicle demand in driving the growth of the mounted bearing market.

Leading companies in the mounted bearing market are increasingly focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as high-performance bearings for rocket propulsion, to address critical industry demands. These advanced bearings play a vital role in rocket propulsion by ensuring reliability, supporting high-speed rotors, handling substantial loads, and enduring extreme operational conditions. For example, in January 2024, Carter Americas, a US-based bearing supplier, introduced specialized bearing solutions for rocket propulsion as part of the Launch Canada initiative. This initiative supports Canada’s expanding aerospace sector by providing innovative bearing technologies that improve rocket system performance and reliability. Designed to withstand the intense conditions of rocket launches, these bearings ensure optimal functionality and safety during missions. This launch underscores Carter Americas' commitment to advancing aerospace technology and supporting Canada’s growth in space exploration.

In February 2023, Timken Company, a US-based manufacturer specializing in bearings and power transmission products, completed the acquisition of American Roller Bearing Company for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move aims to strengthen Timken's portfolio of engineered bearing solutions, expand its market reach to $1 trillion, and capitalize on American Roller Bearing Company's U.S. installed base and aftermarket business. The acquisition underscores Timken's commitment to growth and strategic opportunities, enhancing its competitive edge and creating value for stakeholders. American Roller Bearing Company, based in the US, is renowned for its manufacturing of roller and ball bearings.
