Composite bearings are design and manufacture to insure that the equipment operates more effectively and efficiently. Composite bearings provides benefits such as high-load capacity/highshock load capability, low coefficient of friction, dimensionally stable in fluids, flexible material design, thick-wall availability, self-lubricating design, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and low weight/high strength. And these bearings can be used in applications such as agriculture (e.g., earth moving equipment), automotive, construction, marine, railroad, material handling equipment and many others.

Market Dynamic - United States Composite Bearings Market

The United States composite bearings market is presently being driven by several driving factors. Increasing use of composite bearings in application such as steering linkages, hydraulic cylinder pivots, king pin bearings, boom lifts, scissor lifts, cranes, hoists, lift gates, backhoes, trenchers, skid steers loaders, and front-end loaders among others is major factor that driving the market growth. 

In addition, growing construction industry and high investment in this industry is further likely to expand market growth. For instance, according to the Associated General Contractors of America, the construction sector is a major contributor to the U.S. economy. The sector has over 680,000 employers with more than 7 million employees and generates approximately USD 1.3 trillion worth of structures each year. And the sector is one of the largest customers for mining, manufacturing, and various services.

United States Composite Bearings Market Segmental Overview

The study analyses United States composite bearings market based on product type, material, end use industry and country. 

Composite Bearings Market by Product Type

Two major product types such as metal matrix and fiber matrix are covered in the global composite bearing market. Metal matrix segment is witnessing fastest growth. Metal matrix composites bearings widely used as structural materials in high-tech fields, such as defense, aerospace, civil engineering and automotive. It provides benefits such as high thermal conductivity, high-temperature capability, high specific stiffness, low CTE, and high strength, which are making them more demandable in aforementioned sectors. This is in turn impelling the market growth.

Composite Bearings Market by Material

Based on material, the market is segmented into PTFE composite (poly tetra fluoro ethylene) and POM composite (poly oxy methylene). The PTEF composite segment likely to dominate the market. However, POM composite segment is witnessing fastest growth. PTEF composite bearings are capable of bearing vertical load and have good dimensional stability and thermal conductivity. Huge demand for this bearing in applications such as road, auditoriums, bridge, skywalks and others is accredited to the segment growth.
