North America Sliding Bearing Market Size

The North America sliding bearing market reached USD 277.23 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.30% between 2024 and 2032, reaching USD 485.83 billion by 2032.

 

North America Sliding Bearing Market Outlook

  • As per the Association of American Railroads, in 2021, total rail miles in the US were 136,667 miles.
  • In Canada, the length of rail lines in 2021 was 48,150 km, as mentioned by the World Bank.
  • As per the United States Department of Transport, a total of 23,186 railroad locomotive engines existed in 2022.

 

North America Sliding Bearing Market Growth

Electric multiple units and diesel multiple units are among the railway types that boost the North America sliding bearing market growth.

Diesel Multiple Units (DMU) are rail cars that drive forward using diesel as fuel. Sliding bearings are an essential part of the drive gear, axle, and suspension system for reducing friction and wear while in operation. They are used in engines, connecting rods, and other components to provide smooth, frictionless rotation and support under heavy loads and high temperatures.

 

The sliding bearing industry in the domestic region is likely to witness growth owing to the steady rise in the number of railway tracks with government-based railway activities. The growth in the sliding bearing industry is also likely to come from commercial uses of trains as freight trains and goods trains mainly used to transport heavy cargo. As of December 2023, United States President Joe Biden announced USD 8.3 billion in funds for the U.S. passenger rail.

 

Electric Multiple Units (EMU) may be comparable to DMUs but are powered by electric current instead of diesel fuel. In these trains, sliding bearings serve the same purposes as in DMUs by supporting different mobile elements within the transmitting, propelling as well as suspending systems.
