Agriculture Bearings Market Report

Market Highlights

Agricultural use currently dominates around one-third of the earth's surface and ever since the first agricultural activities started, technological developments have consistently contributed to the increased productivity and yield in order to feed an ever-increasing population. At present, the demand for solutions that will keep farmers' equipment in the field running constantly is bigger than it has ever been. Farmers are using equipment longer, faster, and harder than ever before in order to maximize output. Agriculture equipment must meet a variety of performance and environmental demands that change not only with the type of crop but also with geographic location. Bearing plays a pivotal role in the smooth functioning of these agricultural equipment. As the demand for reliable and technologically advanced agricultural equipment is growing, bearing manufacturers are continuously advancing their product offering to meet the rising challenges of OEMs.

As a result of the pandemic, most global economies contracted sharply in 2020. The global crisis left the agriculture industry in disarray. Lower consumer demand and subsequent price plunge led to a reduction in agricultural and agriculture equipment production. The agriculture bearings market typically relies on the growth of the agriculture industry. Key challenges that arose in front of the industry stakeholders on account of the pandemic were lack of new orders, supply chain disruptions due to lockdowns, and uncertain future demand.

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as harvester, tractor, tillage & sowing/seeding, mowing, and others. Harvester is projected to be the leading segment of the market during the forecast period. Harvesters carry out some of the most intense jobs in agriculture. Bearings in harvester have to operate in presence of debris and massive radial loads and provide efficient motion with as little friction as possible. The tractor segment is expected to register consequential growth during the forecast period. Bearings enable the rotations in tractor wheels, engine, transmission, etc.

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest market for agriculture bearings owing to the rising demand for high-powered tractors, a burgeoning horticultural industry, along with financial incentives from the government towards procuring agricultural equipment. Various government programs to promote agriculture mechanization and precision agriculture are further expected to boost the product demand in the region. Europe and North America are also likely to witness healthy growth rates owing to the high adoption of agriculture equipment in the region due to the unavailability and high cost of labor.
