Automotive bearings are accountable for smooth, economical and frictionless running of automobiles. They are present in almost every part of the automobile to ensure movement safety, load handling as well as balance. Several types of bearings are used in automobiles. To name a few, thrust bearings, ball bearings, roller bearings, housed units, needle roller bearings, plummer blocks, plain bearings, spherical roller bearings, slim section bearings, ball thrust bearings, tapered roller bearings and specialized bearings are used. These bearings are made up of different material such as metal-polymers, engineered plastics, metals and bimetals and fibre reinforced composite. The growth of the automotive bearing market is driven by various aspects such as rising technological developments, increasing production of vehicles across the globe, increasing demand for advanced bearings from emerging economies, increasing use of bearings in luxury cars etc. However, high pricing and counterfeiting are main challenges faced by the global market for automotive bearings.
