Market Dynamics

How thriving demand for ceramic bearings to flourish the market for bicycle bearings

Bearings are frequently formed of steel and are found in pedals, wheel hubs, bottom brackets, headsets, and jockey wheels. Currently, ceramic bearings have been in the focus and several market players are including ceramic bearings into their portfolio. In contrast to conventional bearings, which are constructed of stainless steel, ceramic bearings are built of ceramic silicon nitride (Si2N4), where the primary benefit of ceramic bearings is rolling resistance.

Reducing friction by making smoother surfaces, more uniform sizes, and rounder shapes, cranks and wheels may be spun with less energy. A ceramic bearing should also requires less maintenance as ceramic bearings are rustfree. Ceramic bearings are used in a variety of bike parts, including the hubs, bottom brackets, pulley wheels, and headsets, to reduce friction and extend their lifespan.

The bottom bracket of a bicycle is among the sites where ceramic bearings often are frequently used. Ceramic bearings are generally hybrid bearings, using steel bearing races with ceramic balls, these are suitable for off-road and on-road disciplines. The addition of larger pulleys or the upgrade of the jockey wheels, to ceramic bearings are two further ways to decrease energy waste on the rear derailleur.

How significant market traction for bicycles to create ample space for bicycle bearings demand generation?

Due to the growing public acceptance of bicycles as a way to improve health-related activities, the demand for bicycles has significantly grown. Bicycles have been utilized for transit and recreational purposes in addition to health and wellness, which is fueling the global growth in bicycles and component sales. Cycling is frequently advised as an aerobic activity since it helps fend off various illnesses, including arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, some cancers, high blood pressure, stress, and some forms of obesity.

Cycling is also used to manage, maintain, and lose weight. Many people opt for the use of bicycle to decrease carbon emissions at individual level, which is being observed in certain European countries. Sales volume of bicycle to remain prominent from India and China, owing to high population and higher preferce for bicycle.

Will Lack of Dedicated Cycling Tracks to Plunge the Demand Growth?

Bicycle market over the projected period depends upon a well-connected road network across several regions. This remains a key challenge as government authorities and manufacturers are still striving to lay cycling tracks and create a good network for cycles. Developing economies are focusing on creating a bicycle friendly infrastructure with suitable and safe cycling tracks witn no or minimum number of accident cases and injuries to consumers and safety.

In countries, like India, Indonesia, and Brazil, where the population is higher, very few dedicated cycling tracks are being so far constructed by the authorities. Subsequently, lack of dedicated cycling tracks hampers the demand for new bicycles sales and thereby impacting the bicycle components market.

How does China is contributing to the growth of the Bicycle Bearings Market?

China market for bicycle bearings is anticipated to advance at a steady growth over the forecast period. China's demand for e-bikes has increased as a result of the country's rising preference for eco-friendly and a fast transportation which is bolstering the demand bearings demand in bicycles. China is among the key manufacturer and consumer of bicycles and bicycle components worldwide.

Expanding fleet of bicycles spurred on by people using electric bicycles for transportation and recreation in public infrastructures such as parks is surging the demand for bicycles which has propel the demand. Development of the infrastructure, road connectivity and substantial population resulted in predominant sales of bicycle bearing accounting for around 48% of the global market share.

What is the market scenario of Bicycle Bearings in the Indian market?

The bicycle industry in India is estimated to be the second largest in the global market. In India, bicycles such as, standard, premium, kids, and exports are the four categories that make up the industry. Government purchases are the main source of demand for standard bicycles, which is the highest of all. These bicycles are acquired by government agencies through a tendering procedure and distributed as part of various welfare programs. Fitness and leisure requirements are what fuel the demand for premium bicycles.

The automobile sector in India is significantly developed and are witnessing ample growth. Bicycles are therefore quickly becoming recognized by governments and other authorities as a powerful tool for reducing pollution levels. All this demand surge in the sales of bicycles across India is flourishing the market for bicycle bearings and the market is expected to create around US$ 524.9 million of absolute dollar opportunities over the period of 2023 and 2033.

How does the ball bearings segment contribute to the bicycle bearings market?

Bicycle bearings sales was dominated by the ball bearings segment over past several years. A ball bearing is a type of rolling element bearing in which the bearing races are kept apart by the use of balls. A ball bearing's main functions are to support axial and radial loads and lessen rotational friction. Ball bearings can move in any direction and take relatively little effort to do so because of the low friction they experience.

The segment is estimated to witness a growth rate of around 7.0% over the forecast period. Bicycles employs ball bearing to lessen the friction when the wheel rotates. Ball bearings experience rolling friction, which is always lower than sliding friction. Less energy is lost because there is less friction. This allows for a prolonged motion while conserving the rider's energy.

Which sector of the economy is expected to be a prominent bicycle type for bicycle bearings?

Electric bike held a significant share in the global market. A combination of numerous macroeconomic and microeconomic factors is continuously shaping the demand for the segment. Ball bearings are substantially used in electric bicycles and the segment is expected to witness an increase in 530 basis point share in between the forecast period.

The demand for bicycle bearings appropriate for use with electric bicycles is expanding as electric bikes gain popularity and contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions globally. Cycling is adaptive, flexible, and good for the environment mode of transportation.

Competitive Landscape

Past few years remains dynamic owing to growing tendency in the bicycle bearings industry for integrated bearings, in which the bearing's supporting components are integrated into the bearing itself. Customers' interest is being stoked by the growing global need for application-specific solutions. Advanced simulation software tools are being used by bicycle bearing manufacturers to better align bearing designs with actual operating circumstances.

Consequently, bearing manufacturers are providing specialty bearings to meet particular needs in applications in the bicycle industry. Spending on R&D appears to be a strategic choice to be at the forefront of the market as the worldwide bicycle bearing sector battles regulatory requirements of emission, lighter goods with lower friction and noise, greater safety rules, increased reliability expectations, and global steel price changes.

Several manufacturing firms also keep putting their attention on precise sales forecasts and integrating technology in manufacturing to acquire a competitive edge globally.

For instance,

  • In Nov 2022, Schaeffler and the CERATIZIT Group have a deal in place for the purchase of CERASPIN. CERASPIN has more than 25 years of experience in the design and production of premium ceramic materials, the majority of which are transformed into rolling components for different bearing applications.
  • In Feb 2022, Schaeffler develops bearings for electromobility and expands its bearings business. Compared to normal bearings with two ball-bearing rows, the Schaeffler TriFinity triple-row bearing is more robust and has a longer service life. The face spline design paves the possibility for large bearing diameter reductions.
