Market Introduction
The slewing bearings market in North America is further segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. Favorable environment for the development and adoption of modern technologies as well as favorable government policies, high GDP, and GDP per capita, vast industrialization, developed infrastructure, and robust healthcare industry make North America one of the prominent regions for the slewing bearing market players. The use of renewable sources of energy is gaining significant traction in the industrial, commercial, and residential sector, which can be mainly attributed to the increasing focus on curtailing carbon emission. For instance, the headquarters of Apple Inc. in California, US, runs completely on renewable energy. Also, Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada, US, is designed to run completely using clean energy. Moreover, the governments of North American countries also provide benefits in form tax incentives and subsidiaries for encouraging consumers to use clean energy. North America has several aerospace and defense industry players. A few of the leading manufacturers in this industry include Northrop Grumman, Gulfstream Aerospace, The Blue Origin, SpaceX, Boing, Textron, Bombardier, Lockheed Martin, and GE. These aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have various manufacturing facilities across the region, and each facility has noteworthy production capacity. The US manufacturing industry produces ~18.2% of the world’s goods. At present, Canada is becoming a preferred destination for manufacturing companies, with improving numbers for coal, metal, and oil industry. The country’s manufacturing sector holds huge potential for its economic growth. Innovative technologies are not merely opening new markets for the country’s goods, instead they are changing the process of production of these goods. Companies in Canada are investing in new technologies and advanced machinery for ensuring long-term success. Further, mining regulations relaxed by the Trump Administration is encouraging mining activities in North America, thereby boosting the slewing bearing market growth.
The increasing number of COVID-19 cases has led governments of North American countries to shut down nation’s borders during Q2 of 2021. Manufacturing facilities are either temporarily shut or are operating with limited staff strength. Moreover, the supply chains of components and parts are disrupted. The US is the largest market for slewing bearings, especially due to its technologically advanced aerospace & defense and manufacturing sectors. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has severely affected production and revenue generation due to lowered production volumes. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a negative impact on the growth of the slewing bearings market in North America
Market Overview and Dynamics
The slewing bearing market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 968.03 million in 2021 to US$ 1,300.35 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2028. Growing preference for renewable energy; owing to increasing concerns about climate change, governments and corporates are taking various initiatives for fostering sustainable practices. Such initiatives include promoting recyclable products and harnessing clean energy. These energy sources are considered the cheapest sources of clean energy as the operational & maintenance cost of is restively less. Slewing bearings are used in altitude-azimuth mountings and gear boxes of solar panels as well as in wind turbines of windmill. Thus, the increase in importance of clean energy, coupled with the growing deployment of onshore and offshore solar and wind farms, is expected to bolster the slewing bearings market growth during the forecast period.
