According to data from China's General Administration of Customs, both the value and volume of China's bearing exports achieved steady growth in 2024. Continuing this trend, and against the backdrop of a moderate recovery in global manufacturing, the total value of bearing exports in 2025 is expected to exceed US$10 billion, setting a new historical record. Export volume will also increase in tandem, but the growth rate may be lower than the value growth rate, reflecting an increase in the unit price of products.

Global market demand recovery: Major economies such as Europe and the United States have avoided a deep recession, and demand from downstream industries such as automobiles and industrial machinery remains stable.

The resilience of "Made in China": A complete industrial chain and continuously improving technology have given Chinese bearings global competitiveness in terms of cost-effectiveness and delivery capabilities.

Emerging market expansion: Exports to countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East are growing rapidly, becoming new growth points.

While low-end small ball bearings were the mainstay, the export proportion of high value-added products such as automotive bearings, precision machine tool bearings, wind turbine main shaft bearings, and robot reducer bearings has significantly increased.

Enterprises are placing greater emphasis on research and development, making progress in areas such as materials, heat treatment, and design simulation, resulting in continuous improvement in product lifespan and reliability.
