Global and Japan Slide Bearings Market Insights, Forecast to 2027

Slide bearings, also referred to as sliding or plain, bearings encompass a range of mechanical components that go by various names but are generally grouped as fluid-film bearings, whose purpose is to reduce friction between rotating, reciprocating, or sliding surfaces such as shafts and stationary surfaces such as housings. The lubricating film is generally oil, although water is sometimes used in special situations, and “dry running” bearings attain their slipperiness by way of PTFE or other low-friction materials. Slide bearings differ from ball and roller bearings which use rolling elements to reduce friction but in both instances, the goal is the same.
The Slide Bearings industry is relatively concentrated. The top five producers account for about 36% of the revenue market in 2019. Daido Metal, Tenneco (Federal-Mogul), Rheinmetall Automotive, RBC Bearings are the leading companies in the market.
At Present, the Slide Bearing market mainly concentrated in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Among them, Asia-Pacific is the largest consumption region with a market share of 36.15% in terms of revenue in 2019, and it also has the highest growth rate.
