The rising demand for plain bearings in the defense and aerospace industries is also a major factor boosting this market. “The governments of various nations around the world have been revving up their defense infrastructure and this has significantly contributed to the growing demand for plain bearings,” the analyst observes. For instance, the Turkish government has been taking steps to locally manufacture passenger aircraft, helicopters, jet fighters, and unmanned aerial vehicles on a large scale, leading to the rising demand for industrial bearings.

On the flip side, the shrinking after-sales market and an increase in counterfeit products act as deterrents to the plain bearings market. However, the impact of both these factors is forecast to remain low from 2016 to 2024.
