PREFACE
Working under this project I have gained the knowledge about whole
bearing industries.
Here I have learnt about the use of bearing in different sectors and I
have also gained knowledge about the application of No. of bearings
in a single vehicle and how a supply chain management plays a vital
Role in the success of the economy and various other industries.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OBJECTIVE
This project is done to Identify the demand, supply and application of
bearing in multiutility vehicles and commercial vehicles segments of
different companies in different parts and to find what are the
Bearing demands of FOUR WHEELERS segments of different
companies and how much NBC supply to them and what are the
application of bearings of various types in different parts of the
vehicle of different companies in FOUR WHEELERS segment.
WORK DONE
For this market surveys and fieldwork was done by me, visit to
different automobile companies, analysis of data, tabulation of data
and finalization of data was done by me.
FINDINGS
Demand and supply data, data related to application of bearing in
different parts of different vehicles of various companies in FOUR
WHEELERS and also different marketing aspects of the company.
“Critical success factor that comes out of the study are as follows”
• Reduction in cost.
Although the development of India's ball and roller bearing industry is not
quite enviable, it can be said without contradiction that India has relatively
strong base for the manufacture of bearings. There are about 12 large and
medium units which together turn out over 100 million bearings every year.
Almost all the units have foreign collaboration. The Indian Bearing industry
makes around 500 types of bearings as against over 30,000 types of
bearings being used by the Indian industry. Bulks of these are only of
standard types and are used mostly in low-technology areas like fans,
electric motors, water pumps, and by the automotive sector.
Though the demand from the aftermarket segment is increasing, the growth
rate is declining compared to the year 2005 - 06. In the aftermarket, 6 percent
demand is from the engineering applications segment, 5 percent from LCV
segment, 4 percent from MUV segment, 8 percent from car segment, 11
percent from tractor segment, and the remaining 15 percent from automotive
ancillary segment. Rest of the 50 percent demand is from the Railway sector.
INTRODUCTION
Company Profile
The industry is spread over 118 acres of land in Jaipur and 56 acres in Gunsi (Newai).
This is the only unit in the country manufacturing wide variety and range of bearings
such as Ball Bearings, Steel Balls, Tapered Roller Bearings, and Cylindrical Roller
Bearings & Axle Boxes for Railway Rolling Stock including Spherical Roller Bearings,
Cartridge Tapered Roller Bearings and Large Diaz special Bearings in separate fully

The OEM market for bearing represents the demand arising out of the original vehicle
and industrial manufacturers. The demand for the OEM market directly depends upon
the growth in user industry. OEM market accounts for 60% of total demand of bearing
industry. This market is characterized by requirements of high quality, stringent delivery
norms and ower margins.
OEM’s have been facing price competition in their own markets; continue to exert price
pressure on the local bearing suppliers. The bearing capacity available in the country is
in excess of demand, resulting in price reduction. The OEM bearing market is likely to
witness better days ahead on account of upswing in automobile industry and
manufacturing sector
Replacement Market
The replacement market represents the demand arising on account of replacing the
used and worn-out bearings. The size of replacement market is dependent on
equipment population and frequency of maintenance. Replacement market accounts for
40% of total demand for bearing industry. The margins in this market are relatively
higher placed as compared to OEM market.
The replacement market is highly price sensitive and has higher share of unorganized
players and cheaper imported bearings.

OEMs Relocating Facilities Overseas Affects Domestic Bearings Demand
Most of the original equipment manufacturers in the US are relocating their production
plants to countries where product demand is strong. Further, the new facilities overseas
are sourcing their bearings demand from local companies. As a result, bearing arriving
from these original equipment manufacturers dropped significantly, spurring bearings
producers to aim at new customers.
One of the most significant trends in the bearings industry is the end- user’s move
towards single- source supply. An increasing section of original equipment
manufacturers are shifting towards exclusive suppliers for all their bearings needs. End-
users, especially larger companies, are at an advantage, when placing orders to a
single supplier, as more efficient supply chain management can be achieved.
However, this move involves much more for the bearings supplier. One of the most
significant among these includes the initiation of a general consolidation in the industry.
Suppliers also realized a wide variety of products needed to be offered to satisfy all
customers’ needs, with maximum options to choose from. This led to higher number of
sales/distribution arrangements and alliances. In these arrangements, manufacturers
provide competitor products along with their own to bridge gaps in their own product
portfolio. A significant trend observed in the automotive end-user segment, is the shift
away from manufacturing in house and moving towards outsourcing of sub- assembly to
third parties.
Bearing Aftermarket
Bearings have turned into a vital component for all types of machinery, which makes
their maintenance extremely important. Bearings are products, therefore, their removal
and reinstallation needs extreme care. Incorrect installations are one of the leading
causes of bearing failures.
Automobile Industries
Vehicle Industry
Brazil has a well established and mature automotive industry. All the vehicle
manufacturers are 100% Foreign owned.
Most Brazilian Companies of its components industry went for tie- ups with MNCs.
About 30 large multinational Companies produce 70 % of all components produced in
Brazil for the OEMs.
Total sales of auto parts in Brazil are about US $ 3 billion. There is a tremendous
potential for spare parts business in Brazil for Indian Companies. Preliminary estimates
point out that it will be a market of at least US $ 100 million. Cost production in Brazil is
very high and these are need for cost cutting for survival. The theme of Brazil
companies is to increase production and reduce costs. Many companies are thus
looking to diversify their sourcing from countries like India to reduce their cost.
Vehicles Sales
Automotive Parts – Brazil is one of the top ten automotive manufacturers in the world
by volume, producing over 2.2 million units in 2004. Given the scale of the automotive
production market, most auto part suppliers maintain operations directly in Brazil. The
market reached approximately US $ 17.2 billion in 2005 a 12% growth from the previous
year. Imports in 2005 were expected to reach US $ 5.9 billion.
Bearings Market
Current & Future Analysis
The market for bearings in Germany is estimated at US $ 2.7 billion for 2008 and is
projected to be US $ 2.9 billion in 2009. The market is further projected to reach US $
3.1 billion by 2010, growing at a compounded annual rate of 3.8%, during the period
2001-2010.
Ball Bearing is the largest and the fastest growing segment in the German bearing
market and is estimated at US $ 1.3 billion for 2007. The segment is projected to reach
US $ 1.5 billion by 2010, expanding at a CAGR of 4.1%, during the analysis period
2001-2010.
Market Overview
Germany is a leading producer and exporter of machinery and automobiles and is
characterized by a highly competitive market. The market for rolling bearings includes
three major End-users- automobile industry, mechanical engineering, and electric
industry. Automobile and electric sectors in the region consume bearings heavily.
Manufacture of rolling bearings for these sectors is through series production. This kind
of sales offers low profitability and pricing needs to be reasonable low. The machinery
business reflects a different and better picture, as these manufacturers buy standard
bearings in relatively smaller qualities. This kind of production and sales involves higher
profitability and also offers more stable income.
