Demand will grow rapidly in the short-term and be concentrated increasingly in Asia; capacity adequate for bearings in general
• Asia will dominate demand.• The American market will remain flat, averaging 2.5% growth through 2012.
Europe Middle East & Africa (EMEA) is the current dominant growth driver but• Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) is the current dominant growth driver, but its growth will drop markedly by 2010, from12% demand growth in 2007 to 3% in 2012.
• Asia’s demand growth will stay high, particularly in China, India.• Global production capacity will continue to outpace demand.
• Global capacity will increase by an average 4%, vs. 5% demand growth, through 2012.
• Capacity utilization, currently at 75-80%, will not change appreciably.Capacity utilization, currently at 75 80%, will not change appreciably.• The US, Japan, and Western Europe will have excess capacity.• Asia Pacific will continue to see added capacity, particularly in China and India,
to cater for strong regional demand.Th i l t f il bl it i th k t h l ($8• There is plenty of available capacity in the market as a whole ($8 billion of available capacity).
• Lead times will drop 8% at the end of 2009 as demand slows and new capacity comes on stream

new capacity comes on-stream.
Metals costs are projected to decline; labor cost increases will make up the difference
• Machinery and parts is the largest input costs for bearing production.
• Shop floor labor cost is the second largest input.• Professional labor cost accounts for a small percentage of total
cost inputs (in contrast to large bore bearings).• Decreasing metal cost will occupy a smaller share of total cost.• In total, prices will slowly rise.

The large bore ball bearing market is small and demand will increase slowly
• While ball bearings account for almost 50% of the general bearing market, their application in the large bore bearing market is limited due to their point contact characteristic which leads to poor static
