Market.us announces publication of its most recently generated research report titled, “Global Linear Bearings Market by Product Type (Plain Linear Bearings and Rolling Linear Bearings), By Application (Automotive Industry, Machinery & Equipment, Medical Devices, Aerospace & Defence and Other Applications), and by Region – Global Forecast to 2028.”, which offers a holistic view of the global Linear Bearings market through systematic segmentation that covers every aspect of the target market.

The global Linear Bearings market was valued at US$ 4,512 Mn in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ 8,670.7 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 6.8%.

Linear bearings are bearings used to provide free motion to the load on a rail in one direction. These bearings are practically used in almost all kinds of machineries. Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy. The object may also need to be returned to its origin with high repeatability. Linear bearings come in a variety of styles and have wide load capacities. A roller bearing, carries a load by placing rolling balls or rollers between two bearing rings called races. These bearings are comprised of an outer ring and several rows of balls retained by cages. Roller bearings are manufactured in two styles namely – ball slides and roller slides. Various types of linear bearings are designed according to the machining requirement. For instance, miniature linear bearings might work well moving a biologic slide sample just a few millimeters beneath a microscope lens, while industrial-bearings on injection molding machines carry tooling of several tons. Linear bearing is mounted on either a square or round rail depending on requirements of the application. The rolling element of the bearing, whether it be ball or roller slides, helps move a load with ease.

Favorable government initiatives such as “Make in India”, “Made in China 2025” towards growth of domestic manufacturing sector of several emerging economies, is expected to increase focus manufacturing activities, thereby fueling demand for linear bearings in coming years.

Global Linear Bearings Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2018–2028 

However, high cost of linear bearings, as compared to its counterpart, is expected to restrain growth of the global linear bearings market to a certain extent. Nonetheless, introduction of smart bearings from several key manufacturers is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the players in the market. Smart bearings contain universally self-aligning bearing plates, which eliminates the need for derating factors commonly required for linear guides, as well as provide enhanced load capacity. This factor is further expected to augment market for global linear bearings market.
