Description
The growing demand for sensor bearings from numerous end-use industries such as metal & mining, transportation, oil & gas, automotive, and aerospace & defense is expected to drive the growth of the market. Sensor bearings are used in wheel hub units in vehicles. In railway locomotives and wagons, sensor bearings are used to observe speed, temperature, vibration, etc. Most automotive hub units use speed sensors to send wheel speed data to anti-lock brake systems (ABS) and traction control units of vehicles. Hence, rising demand from end user industries increases the market growth. Some of the key factors responsible for the market growth include rising demand from end user industries, growing adoption of IoT in bearing technology, high growth in emerging economies and technological advancements. Asia Pacific Sensor Bearing market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launchings by the market players. For Instance, In January 2018, SKF made an agreement with Koncar KEV for the supply of axle boxes, bearings and associated equipment for its modern low-floor electric and diesel-electric multiple unit trains.
