Asia Pacific Vacuum Bearings Market

 The APAC vacuum bearings market is expected to grow from US$ 5,124.21 million in 2022 to US$ 8,041.30 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2028.

Increasing funding in the space sector will likely witness increased opportunities, primarily in satellite broadband internet access. For instance, In May 2020, space investments stayed resilient at US$ 25.6 billion, and the impetus for investments had to continue solid in 2021. Space launch facilities recorded strong progress in 2021, with the market forecast to expand more than 15.7% year-over-year (Y-o-Y). Space exploration continued to evolve and flourish in 2021 due to diminishing launch costs and innovations in technology. Over the long term, prices are expected to continue dropping with companies deploying more satellites in the space ecosystem. For instance, in January 2021, more than 1,000 Starlink satellites were launched into orbit by SpaceX, and the company targets to further launch 4,425 satellites in orbit by 2024. Its launch costs decline because of reusable rockets and the mass production of satellites. The launch costs for satellites, which have already dropped from US$ 200 million in the past decade to about US$ 60 million presently, have the potential to decrease further to as low as US$ 5 million. Moreover, the launch of the Space Force in December 2019 influenced and propelled public-sector investments in 2021. These factors mentioned above positively impact the demand for various types of bearings, which play a vital part in producing space shuttles and other space launch components. For example, working in high temperatures between -200°C and +280°C, GGB's plain bearings have functioned as the primary suspension modules in the robotic drilling arm of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover. Also, the self-lubricating metal-polymer bearings are GGB's essential products in the aerospace sector. Besides GGB bearings, Curiosity used Timken's precision bearings in its descent to Mars in March 2021, and so did the other two rovers before it, namely, Spirit and Opportunity. Curiosity also used Timken bearings in the center core of its carousel system as it switched to position sample cups for gathering and examining rock, soil, and atmosphere. In addition, 2 6.35 mm Timken bearings operate Curiosity's tiny vacuum pump, which supports the rover's analytical equipment. Therefore, the demand for vacuum bearings is increasing due to rising growth of APAC space sector.  

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the APAC vacuum bearings market. The APAC vacuum bearings market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
