Polymer Bearing Market Report Scope & Overview:

The Polymer Bearing Market Size was valued at USD 10.34 billion in 2022, and is expected to reach USD 14.71 billion by 2030, and grow at a CAGR of  4.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030.

By providing a number of benefits, polymer bearings have established themselves in a cutthroat bearing market. As a result, sectors that were previously dominated by steel and phosphor bronze are now being filled with polymers like PTFE, PEEK, POM, and Nylons. A machine part containing at least one rubbing part made of polymer is called a polymer bearing. Because they can survive extreme conditions that would ruin conventional bearings, polymer bearings are appealing. Compared to steel, polymeric materials are 80% lighter. Because of this, polymer-based bearings require less energy to move and are less likely to lose energy to friction. Polymer bearings are practically silent when lubricated and are better at absorbing stress loads than metal bearings.

Impact of COVID-19:

The COVID-19 has had a large economic impact on end-use industries. Many markets have experienced a decline as a result of travel restrictions, and growth has stalled. Production facilities have been forced to remain closed owing to lockdowns, which has hurt the polymer bearing industry because fewer businesses are using polymer bearing solutions, resulting in revenue loss. Disruptions are occurring in all major industries, including supply chain breakdowns, sluggish technological advancement, and workplace closures. Growth across application markets has accelerated significantly after the removal of travel restrictions.

The COVID-19 virus epidemic has had a significant impact on the automobile sector, and carmakers are today dealing with unheard-of uncertainty. The interruption of supply chain operations has also slowed manufacturing, postponed the assembly of automobiles, and hampered the expansion of the worldwide polymer bearing market. The COVID-19 epidemic has contributed to a decline in demand in the automobile sector, which is having an impact on the expansion of the global polymer bearing market.

By Product: Phenolics: Phenolic composites are made of phenolic resin and cotton fabric or other fillers. These composite materials are perfect for automotive applications since they can be easily maintained by different fluids.

Nylon: Nylon, which has the broadest application in bearings, typically replaces phenolics in heavy-duty applications.

Teflon: Teflon is an excellent material for bearings because it has low friction, a high degree of self-lubrication, resistance to most chemical assaults, and the ability to function across a wide temperature range.

Acetal: Acetal is a common bearing material used in several industrial, automotive, and appliance applications. Its stability and resistance to wet abrasion make it useful when working in damp situations.

By End Use:

Automobile: The polymer solutions' cost advantages are especially relevant in the automotive sector. In the automotive industry, polymer bearings are crucial because of their extreme durability, low maintenance requirements, and temperature stability.

Textile: As textile production equipment is used more frequently, there is a greater need for machine parts that are more durable.

Pharmaceutical and medical applications: Bearings are used in medical technology to handle high speeds and a high standard of hygiene. Lubrication-free ball bearings are crucial in medical technology, where cleanliness is a constant issue.

Polymer bearings offer a wide range of uses in the packaging sector.

13. Conclusion

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
