India Automotive Bearing Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.60 % through 2031

The India automotive bearing market is witnessing steady growth due to rising vehicle production, increased demand from the aftermarket, and the growing adoption of electric vehicles. Rising infrastructure investments and vehicle exports are also contributing to higher component demand. Enhanced focus on localized manufacturing and technological advancements in bearings are the factors driving the market in the forecast period 2027–2031.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Automotive Bearing Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, The India Automotive Bearing Market was valued at USD 3.07 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 5.03 billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.60% during the forecast period. The automotive bearing market in India is being driven by the continuous increase in domestic vehicle production across all segments, including two-wheelers, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles. This rise in manufacturing activity is creating demand for various types of bearings used in engines, transmissions, wheels, and steering systems. The replacement market is also expanding due to the aging vehicle population and growing preference for timely maintenance, which supports recurring bearing demand from service networks.

Technological advancements are reshaping the bearing landscape, with developments in materials, lubrication systems, and sealing solutions leading to longer bearing life and enhanced load-handling capacity. Integration of smart sensor technology and EV-specific designs are emerging trends. As electric vehicle adoption increases, manufacturers are focusing on low-noise, high-efficiency bearings compatible with electric drivetrains. Opportunities lie in developing lightweight and compact designs suitable for high-speed operations and optimized powertrains.

The market faces certain challenges such as price volatility of raw materials like steel, rising competition from unorganized players, and the need for capital-intensive R&D to meet emerging performance demands. Smaller workshops often lack awareness or access to precision-grade bearings, which can limit quality replacement in rural and semi-urban areas. The fragmented supply chain and irregular demand from seasonal sectors like agriculture add further complexity. Standardization in bearing specifications across vehicle platforms is also necessary to streamline production and serviceability.

India Automotive Bearing Market is Segmented By Vehicle, Application, Type, Demand Category and By Region.

The automotive bearing market in India caters to diverse applications across key vehicle systems. In engines, bearings are used in crankshafts, camshafts, and connecting rods to support rotational movement under high pressure and temperature conditions. Transmission systems rely on high-precision bearings to ensure smooth gear operation, reduce friction losses, and improve power delivery. With advancements in automatic and electric transmission systems, the need for advanced bearing solutions is increasing.

Wheel bearings are critical for both performance and safety, facilitating load transfer, rotational motion, and stability across varying road conditions. These components must meet stringent durability and sealing standards. In steering systems, bearings support responsive handling and alignment while reducing vibrations and friction. Steering column bearings, rack and pinion systems, and electric power steering assemblies are key areas where innovation in bearing design is ongoing.

The southern region of India recorded the fastest growth in the automotive bearing market during 2025, driven by a combination of robust manufacturing infrastructure, large vehicle assembly units, and a flourishing automotive component ecosystem. States such as Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have emerged as prominent automotive hubs with well-established OEMs and tiered supplier networks. These regions benefit from policy support, skilled labor availability, and superior logistics connectivity, leading to increased production output and bearing consumption.

The rise in electric vehicle manufacturing in the southern belt is also fueling demand for specialized bearings. Production of two- and three-wheelers in particular is accelerating in this region, requiring lightweight and low-friction bearings tailored for electric drivetrains. Growth in exports of assembled vehicles and components from southern ports is further boosting bearing manufacturing and integration across supply chains. The presence of advanced R&D centers and technical institutions in the region supports innovation in bearing design and testing.
