Earlier Report Observations

The market for cylindrical roller bearings in Italy fell from 9.2 thousand tons in 2018 to 5.1 thousand tons in 2020, even as European producers like NKE Austria reported record output for large-diameter bearings in early 2020, indicating sustained regional demand.

A recovery began in 2021, driven by worldwide industrial expansion and automation, which raised demand for bearings. Italian firm ISB promoted cylindrical roller bearings for high axial loads, supporting local market growth. By 2023 volume reached 6.6 thousand tons and held steady in 2024 amid global sector growth fueled by manufacturing, mining, and construction activity.
