The market growth is primarily driven by growing automotive industry coupled with increasing focus toward vehicle weight reduction. Several manufacturers are focusing to improve vehicle efficiency by reducing weight of the vehicle. For this, they are focusing on lightweight bearings employing high durability and stiffness.

Thus, the increased focus on reducing the weight of the vehicle is resulting in growing adoption rate of advanced bearings, which sequentially, is propelling the growth of the market.
*Request to get the sample pages of the report: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/automotive-bearing-market/report-sample*
On the basis of bearing type, the automotive bearing market has been categorized into ball bearing, roller bearing, and plain bearing. Among these, ball bearing is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2018 with around 50% of the total market share in terms of volume. This is due to the high usage of ball bearings in passenger cars and two-wheelers. However, during the forecast period, the market share of ball bearing is anticipated to decrease, while the share of roller bearing is expected to increase, owing to the growth in manufacturing and sales of heavy-duty vehicles.
Based on vehicle type, the automotive bearing market has been categorized into two-wheeler, passenger car, commercial vehicle, and electric vehicle. Of these, the market for automotive bearings in electric vehicle showcased the fastest growth, in terms of volume, during the historical period. Increased government support in form of subsidies and regulations, and public acceptance of electric vehicles drove the demand for these vehicles, which in turn, boosted the market growth, globally.

These increase the bearings demand in the OEM category, which in turn, boost the growth of the automotive bearing market.
Geographically, the APAC region is estimated to hold the largest share in the global automotive bearing market, accounting for more than 45% sales volume in 2018. Among the countries, China is expected to remain the market leader for automotive bearings, due to the rising regional demand for the automotive vehicles. Exports of low-end and small-sized bearings significantly drive the automotive bearing industry in China.

On the basis of bearing type, the automotive bearing market has been categorized into ball bearing, roller bearing, and plain bearing. Among these, ball bearing is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2018 with around 50% of the total market share in terms of volume. This is due to the high usage of ball bearings in passenger cars and two-wheelers. However, during the forecast period, the market share of ball bearing is anticipated to decrease, while the share of roller bearing is expected to increase, owing to the growth in manufacturing and sales of heavy-duty vehicles.
Based on vehicle type, the automotive bearing market has been categorized into two-wheeler, passenger car, commercial vehicle, and electric vehicle. Of these, the market for automotive bearings in electric vehicle showcased the fastest growth, in terms of volume, during the historical period. Increased government support in form of subsidies and regulations, and public acceptance of electric vehicles drove the demand for these vehicles, which in turn, boosted the market growth, globally.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — An Australian state government on Tuesday announced plans to mechanically pump oxygen into lakes and rivers after hundreds of thousands of fish have died in heatwave conditions. Up to a million dead fish were found floating last week in the Darling River in western New South Wales state and the state government announced that 1,800 more rotting fish had since been found in Lake Hume in the state's south. Minister for Regional Water Niall Blair said 16 battery-powered aerators had been bought and would be placed in various drought-affected waterways after they are delivered by Wednesday. "They are a Band-Aid solution; we admit that," Blair told reporters.
