Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market – Overview

A slewing bearing, also known as a turntable bearing, is a specialized type of bearing that allows rotation of heavy loads with minimal friction. It is a large, low-speed bearing that is designed to support axial, radial, and moment loads at the same time. Slewing bearings are typically used in applications that require 360-degree continuous rotation, such as cranes, excavators, wind turbines, and other heavy machinery. Slewing bearings are typically composed of an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements (balls or rollers), and a cage that holds the rolling elements in place. They can be designed with a variety of mounting options, including flanged, geared, and non-geared configurations. The most common types of slewing bearings are ball slewing bearings and roller slewing bearings.

Growth Drivers

Growing Demand for Slewing Bearings from Thriving Construction, Renewable Energy, and Mining Industries

The construction, renewable energy, and mining industries are some of the key drivers of the growing demand for slewing bearings in Asia Pacific. Slewing bearings are widely used in construction machinery, such as cranes, excavators, and concrete pumps, to enable rotation and support heavy loads. As construction activities continue to increase in Asia Pacific, particularly in China and India, the demand for slewing bearings is also growing. For example, China is currently investing heavily in infrastructure projects, such as high-speed railways and airports, which require the use of heavy machinery that relies on slewing bearings. Slewing bearings are also used in wind turbines and solar trackers, which are key components of renewable energy systems. As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow in Asia Pacific, particularly in countries such as China and India, the demand for slewing bearings is expected to increase as well. For example, China is currently the world's largest market for wind turbines, which rely heavily on slewing bearings for rotation.

Expansion of E-commerce and Industrial Automation in Asia Pacific

The expanding e-commerce and industrial automation in Asia Pacific is a major driver of the growing demand for slewing bearings. The e-commerce industry has led to an increase in demand for logistics and material handling equipment, such as automated storage and retrieval systems and automated guided vehicles, which rely on slewing bearings to enable rotation and movement. As e-commerce continues to grow rapidly in countries such as China and India, the demand for these types of equipment is also expected to increase, further driving the demand for slewing bearings. Industrial automation is also a major driver of the growing demand for slewing bearings. Slewing bearings are used in various automated machinery and robotics applications, and as the adoption of industrial automation continues to increase in Asia Pacific, particularly in countries such as China and Japan, the demand for slewing bearings in these applications is also expected to grow. With the increasing use of automation and robotics in manufacturing and other industries, the demand for high-quality slewing bearings is likely to rise further. According to Volza's India Import statistics, 5.4K slewing bearing import shipments in India were imported by 584 India Importers from 449 Suppliers. India is the world's top importer of slewing bearings, importing the majority of them from China, Germany, and Italy.

Restraints

High Cost of Slewing Bearings

The high cost of slewing bearings is a significant challenge that may limit the growth of the Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market. The manufacturing process of slewing bearings is complex and requires precision engineering, resulting in high manufacturing costs. Moreover, the raw materials used in the production of slewing bearings, such as steel and other metals, are expensive. This, in turn, leads to higher selling prices for the bearings. In addition to the manufacturing cost, the cost of maintenance of slewing bearings is also high. Regular maintenance is required to ensure proper functioning, and the cost of replacing worn-out or damaged bearings can be significant. This can make owning and operating slewing bearings expensive, which may discourage potential buyers from investing in them.

Impact of COVID-19 on Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearings Market

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions in global supply chains, leading to shortages of raw materials and components required for manufacturing slewing bearings. This resulted in delays in production and increased costs for manufacturers, which affected the availability of slewing bearings in the market. In addition, travel restrictions and lockdowns imposed by governments affected the supply chain and distribution networks of slewing bearing manufacturers, further exacerbating the problem. On the other hand, the pandemic also created new opportunities for slewing bearing manufacturers. The increased demand for medical equipment, such as ventilators and CT scanners, has driven the demand for slewing bearings used in these applications. The pandemic also led to an increase in demand for logistics and material handling equipment used in e-commerce and healthcare industries, which rely on slewing bearings to enable rotation and movement. This has created new market opportunities for slewing bearing manufacturers in Asia Pacific.

Segmental Coverage

Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market - By Product

Based on product, the Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing market is segmented into non-gear type slewing bearings, internal gear type slewing bearings, and external gear type slewing bearings. The external gear type slewing bearings segment holds the highest market share and is projected to record significant revenue throughout the forecast period. Processes like defect identification and gear meshing inspection are simplified. Furthermore, the unique gear ratio of these bearings significantly reduces circumferential stress and torque on the pinion. Internal gear type slewing bearings have the greatest CAGR and are likely to create significant revenue throughout the forecast period. The internal gear type slewing bearing may reduce friction while improving turbine and pitch control performance. Additionally, lower friction in these bearings aids in energy generation. Moreover, these bearings have reduced operating and maintenance expenses.

Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market - By Design

Based on design, the Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market is segmented into cross roller slewing ring bearing, double-row ball slewing ring bearings, three-row roller slewing ring bearings, bi-angular roller or taper, four and eight-point contact ball, and single-row four-point contact ball slewing ring bearing. During the forecast period, the four and eight-point contact ball segment holds a significant share of the market in the market. These bearings are ideal for applications requiring less bearing stiffness and precision, such as construction machinery, small metalworking machines, and wind power equipment. Furthermore, these bearings are cost-effective, with benefits such as reduced maintenance and speedier installation. The market for cross roller slewing ring bearings is expected to witness tremendous expansion. Crossed roller bearings may withstand more stress than four-point contact balls. They perform admirably under strong radial stresses and moderate axial and tilting moment loads.

Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market - By Country

China holds the highest share in the Asia-Pacific Slewing Bearing Market. The country has a well-established manufacturing industry, with a strong focus on heavy industries such as construction, mining, and renewable energy. This has resulted in a high demand for slewing bearings in these industries, and China has been able to meet this demand due to its strong manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, China has a large domestic market for slewing bearings, which has helped to drive demand in the region. The country has a large number of construction and mining projects, and the renewable energy sector is also growing rapidly, which has created a significant demand for slewing bearings.
