Global High Heat Bearing Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Significance of High Heat Bearings in Construction Sector Bolsters Market Growth

Automotive is a continuously thriving sector, with improvements in engine economy and performance being constant areas of focus. Components incorporated in engine systems, exhaust systems, turbochargers, and transmissions must endure high-temperature environments. Thus, growing automotive sales and production volumes benefit the high heat bearing market. In 2023, some consumers began to make previously postponed purchases, resulting in increasing car sales. In the EU, new passenger car registrations registered a 17% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in April 2023; the total rise was 18% in the first 4 months of that year. Total automobile sales in the US showed a 9% y-o-y surge in the first quarter of 2023. Further, the Indian automotive sector experienced a stunning rise in retail sales in October 2024, with a 32% y-o-y rise in overall vehicle sales, owing to the convergence of major festivals and strong demand from rural areas. According to figures issued by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), total vehicle retail sales reached 2.8 million units in October 2024, up from 2.14 million units recorded in October 2023. The growth of the automotive sector in various countries can be associated with the increasing popularity of shared mobility, integration of telematics, and consumer demand for individualized transportation alternatives.

Metal processing is a critical component of modern industrial production, as it involves the transformation of raw metals into finished products that are used across a wide range of industries. Governments provide significant support for the metals industry, in turn, favoring the growth of metal processing businesses. Various enterprises also make investments in metal processing plants. For example, in May 2024, BENTELER invested US$ 21 million to build a new metal processing plant in Louisiana. In another example, Nupur Recyclers Limited (NRL) announced plans in November 2024 to expand its operations with the inclusion of metal trash and lithium-ion battery recycling processing facilities. Thus, this strategic decision to broaden operations demonstrates NRL's commitment to serving changing consumer needs. As part of this expansion project, the company intends to build an innovative factory for the treatment and recycling of metal waste and lithium-ion batteries by 2027. In the metal processing sector, high heat bearing materials are critical for assuring efficiency, durability, and optimal performance in metal forming, heat treatment, casting, and welding operations.
