Market Overview

of Global Self-Lubricating Bearing market:
According to our latest research, the global Self-Lubricating Bearing market looks promising in the next 5 years. As of 2022, the global Self-Lubricating Bearing market was estimated at USD 4984.58 million, and it’s anticipated to reach USD 8177.34 million in 2028, with a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast years.

A self-lubricating bearing is a metallic component with high porosity (20-25% in volume), impregnated in a lubricant oil. It is manufactured from a pressed metal powder that forms a porous bearing material and is also called sintered bearing. The oil contained in the porosity provides a constant lubrication between bearing and shaft, so the system does not need any additional external lubricant.

Raw material price fluctuations
Steel is one of the main raw materials for self-lubricating bearings. With the global spread of COVID-19, major countries in the world have adopted traffic restrictions and blockade measures. Affected by this, most manufacturing industries have been forced to shut down. This directly led to a decline in the demand for steel. In response to the reduced demand caused by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, major steel companies have adopted some measures to temporarily adjust production. However, as the situation of the epidemic gradually improved, many places were reopened, and supply could not keep up with demand, leading to price increases. The prices of other raw materials are more or less affected by the pandemic and fluctuate.

Broad downstream demand
Bearings are parts that carry shafts and are called "mechanical joints". They are an indispensable basic component in modern mechanical equipment. Rolling bearings are currently the dominant type in the bearing industry. With the continuous development of self-lubricating technology, self-lubricating bearings have gradually replaced rolling bearings in some areas and slowly entered all mechanical manufacturing fields. Some top manufacturers have begun to use self-lubricating bearings to replace rolling bearings in some subdivisions (such as marine engines, aerospace, etc.). For example, when the temperature exceeds 250°C, the magnetron bearings and engineering high-temperature valve bearings in the aerospace field use self-lubricating bearing. The application industry of self-lubricating bearing itself is wide, and its application field is still expanding. With the development of new application fields, the future market space of self-lubricating bearing industry will be broader. The huge demand market has brought strong growth momentum to the self-lubricating industry.

High new entrants’ barriers
The market concentration of mid-to-high-end products of self-lubricating bearings is relatively high. Some top manufacturers rely on high technology and scale to gain profitability and other competitive advantages, which have established high industry barriers and limited the number of new entrants. The initial investment in the self-lubricating bearing industry is also large, requiring a large amount of capital to purchase equipment and renting workshops, etc., and it is not easy to transform, and has a high industry threshold.
