General Market Demand International Future

Scenario Size Determinants Scenario Market
The market for automotive bearings is growing at a rate of almost 27 percent per annum in the year 2005 - 06.
This is mainly because of multiple models in every vehicle segment entering the market.

The overall automotive industry has grown at the rate of 34 percent per annum from the year 2004. Hence, a
definite increase in the demand for bearings in the OE segment is anticipated. Aftermarket demand for
automotive bearings is increasing, but at a slower rate as compared to the growth in vehicle population.
Manufacturers are expecting sustained growth of 15 percent in the aftermarket mainly due to increase in
population of two wheelers, passenger cars, and utility vehicle segments.

Some of the restraints faced by the bearings manufacturers are longer life due to improved technology,
improved fuel quality, and better maintenance of the vehicles. This reduces the replacement rate, which in turn
leads to slower growth in the aftermarket demand. Increase of imports due to a 5 percent decrease in duty rates
is affecting the market for the domestic participants.

Vehicle owners prefer imported bearings due to lower costs. Cost difference is almost 50 percent between the
domestic bearings and the imported bearings. For example, the bearings manufactured in India are priced at
Rs.25 and the bearings imported from China are priced at Rs.12 in the year 2004 - 05. There is an increase in
imports from China and South Korea due to lower costs and greater demand.

There has also been increase in prices of domestic brands as the cost of production has gone up due to increase
in steel prices. Indian manufacturers are also facing a threat from the spurious parts manufacturers who
manufacture duplicate parts and sell them in the names of both domestic and foreign companies. This is the
biggest threat to the Indian manufacturers as this eats away their share in the aftermarket and affects their
growth.

Indian manufacturers are taking multiple steps to overcome the challenges facing the Indian market.
Manufacturers are investing more in research to develop better technologies, which increase the life of the
bearings. Companies are giving a warranty of 1 to 2 years on the bearings.
Generally, bearings have been standardised internationally i.e. the boundary dimensions of the product have
been laid down.

However, with moderate modifications in the standardised designs, bearings have been manufactured and used
for various applications the world over.

The manufacturing activity in the country started in the late 40's, with the production of small and standard
bearings. The Indian industry today manufactures small and medium bearings mainly in five categories, i.e.
ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, taper roller bearings, spherical roller bearings and needle roller
bearings.

The popular size range is generally restricted to 140 mm OD, though larger sizes are also manufactured by
some units.

Structural deficiencies

The bearing industry also suffers from structural deficiencies, which are making it less competitive in the
global market. Low volumes in the domestic industry does not make it feasible to induct technology in the form
of high-end automation. This ultimately affects quality. In addition, the industry is fragmented with no
economies of scale. Another problem which domestic manufacturers face is that of high cost of imported
equipment. Machine tools and precision measuring equipment have to be imported and they invite a custom
duty of 25% thus making project costs high and un remunerative to undertake. The third problem is of cost-
competitiveness due to higher import duties on raw materials (steel tubes, steel bars, grinding wheels etc).

The industry generally does not manufacture special bearings/high precision bearings. Some small scale units
also manufacture bearings, but these generally cannot compare in quality or volume with those from the
organised sector though a few do make some special designs. The organised sector manufacturers have
generally imported the technology from internationally renowned manufacturers.

The rolling bearing manufacturers in India mostly manufacture bearings based on the original design and
specifications obtained from their collaborators. Generally there is a limited facility available with the bearing
manufacturers for research or development of new bearings of indigenous designs.

However, commendable efforts have been made by some units to design and develop bearings, particularly
larger diameter ball and roller bearings, to suit specific customer requirements. There are also small scale units
producing bearings in small quantities from imported components by assembling them. The following are the
