The Asia Pacific is expected to be the leading regional sliding bearing market driven by the expansion of railways in countries like China, India, Thailand, and Japan. Radial sliding bearing is the leading type in the sliding bearing market due to its ability to handle heavy axial and radial loads. Due to its capacity to bear heavy loads and its high-temperature resistance, most sliding bearings are made of metallic materials. Bogie, meanwhile, is the largest application sector in the industry driven by the growing need for cross-country freight transport, which requires custom-designed cars.
