Increasing demand for polymer bearings in industrial sectors such as medical & pharmaceutical, automotive, textiles, food processing, among others is expected to be a major factor driving the growth of the polymer bearing market. After automobiles, the automotive industry is the second largest consumer of polymers. According to the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association, about 1/3 of the 30,000 auto parts are made of plastic. Automobiles are made of about 39 different types of plastics and polymers. But more than 70% of plastics used in automobiles are composed of four polymers, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Increased Demand from Automotive Industry: This is anticipated to boost the global polymer bearing market owing to the characteristics of these bearings, such as their grease-free nature, high corrosion and fatigue resistance in textiles, materials a used in packaging, food and packaging applications. Polymer bearings extensive end -use industries are fueling the growth of the global polymer bearing market. Moreover, polymer bearings are in demand in a wide range of industries due to their friction excellent low density and high wear resistance due to which besides, the 3D Advancement in printing technology is anticipated to provide growth opportunities in the global polymer holder market. Custom 3D printed plain bearings made of high-performance polymers last longer than conventional 3D printed materials. 3D printing gives bearing manufacturers a way to innovate, creating bearings that increase performance. The increasing popularity of 3D printing is expected to boost the industrial applications of polymer bearings.

Asia-Pacific dominates the global polymer bearing market owing to the rapidly developing technologies in the region. Potential growth lies in emerging markets such as India and South Korea. The Asia-Pacific polymer bearing market has witnessed a steady growth owing to the increasing demand for polymer bearings in the food, beverage, distribution and logistics industries.
