Global graphite bearing market is expected to reach USD 1,084.7 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2017 to 2023. The key factor driving the growth of the Graphite bearing markets includes increasing demand for application specific bearings, growing demand for graphite bearings across the widest range of applications and growing usage of bearings across heavy industries.

Graphite bearings are used in various bearing system applications where external lubricants cannot be used due to sanitary reasons, or to prevent the risk of contamination. Graphite bearings can withstand and operate in extreme heat at temperatures significantly higher than any lubricants, which otherwise begin to carbonize at temperatures above 200º C. Carbon Graphite bearing is accounted to hold the major share of the graphite bearing market in 2016. The demand for carbon graphite material for bearing is due to performance of these materials in demanding applications either wet or dry applications. Graphite bearings are suitable for applications ranging from hard maintenance high temperature to heavy loaded. Further, increasing usage in high temperature equipment, including continuous bakery ovens, screw conveyors, valves, and paint dryers is creating opportunity for graphite bearing manufacturer. FDA approval for various grades of these materials has led to increasing usage in contact with foods and pharmaceuticals industry.

Asia-Pacific was holding the largest market share of graphite bearing market, in 2016 and is expected to dominate the market, throughout the forecast period. More spending across automotive, petrochemical and heavy industrial sector has led to increasing manufacturing of anti- frictional bearing, thus increasing demand for Graphite bearing across these industries. China, India and Japan are the key regional markets in the region offering pool of opportunities for the manufacturers. The North America as one of the key market in the global graphite bearing market is expected to generate the demand for graphite bearings at healthy rate. The demand for high temperature application specific bearing drives the growth of the graphite bearing market. Further technical innovation would propel the increasing demand over the forecast period in the region.

Some of the leading players in global Graphite bearing market include SKF, Usg Gledco, Schunk, Ast Bearings, Helwig Carbon, National Bronze, Roc Carbon, ST Marys Carbon, Reliable Bronze, Koboi, Zhongchao Carbon, Runfeng Electrical Carbon are among others.
