Global Automotive Thrust Washers Market 2018-2022

This industry research report presents a comprehensive analysis of the automotive thrust washers market by end-user (OEMs and aftermarket), by vehicle type (passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles), and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the automotive thrust washers market

Technavio’s automotive thrust washers market research report has identified the growing need for lightweight thrust washers as one of the primary factors that will trigger the automotive thrust washers market growth in the coming years. The increasing use of aluminum over steel to produce automotive thrust washers improves the performance of the thrust washer. End-user industries are the highest adopter of aluminum for several applications such as building, construction, electrical, machinery, automotive, and transportation. Moreover, aluminum exhibits several distinctive features such as lightweight, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. Aluminum alloys weigh half the weight of regular steel due to which, it is extensively used for automotive thrust washers. This enables automobiles to be stronger, safer, and more efficient. Our market research analysts have estimated that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR close to 8% by 2022.

The adoption of self-lubricating thrust washers is one of the key trends in the automotive thrust washers market. The production of self-lubricating thrust washers is increasing due to the emergence of lubrication technology in bearings and washers. They are light in weight and incur low maintenance costs. Moreover, self-lubricating thrust washers have low wear and tear and have the capability to work under specific loads, extreme temperatures, and high speeds. Oil-filled sintered bronze bearings, self-lubricating metal polymer bearings, and lubrication-free solid polymer bearings are some of the self-lubricating bearings found in the thrust bearing market.
