As core components of industrial machinery, the development of the bearing industry is directly related to the independent and controllable level of high-end equipment manufacturing. Since 2026, China's bearing industry has maintained a high-quality development trend, achieving remarkable progress in high-end product breakthroughs, domestic replacement advancement, and intelligent transformation, with the overall competitiveness of the industry continuously improving.

It is reported that the operating income of China's bearing industry exceeded 240 billion yuan in 2025, laying a solid foundation for the development in 2026. As the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan", the industry has clarified the development keynote of innovation-driven development, focusing on promoting the independent controllability of high-end bearings. The domestic replacement process has extended to high-end fields such as aerospace, high-speed rail, and wind power, and the application effect of domestic bearings in key areas has been remarkable.

In terms of technological breakthroughs, leading domestic enterprises have continued to make efforts. Luoyang Bearing recently successfully rolled off the first set of extra-large high-load slewing bearings with an outer diameter of 4.6 meters in China, developed specifically for the world's largest 120-meter-diameter fully steerable radio telescope. This has filled the gap in related domestic fields and marked that China's manufacturing capacity of extra-large precision bearings has reached a new height. At the same time, enterprises such as ZWZ and HRB have continued to make breakthroughs in the field of heavy-duty and high-precision bearings, and their product performance has been close to the international advanced level.

The industry development presents three distinct trends: first, the acceleration of high-endization, with enterprises increasing R&D investment, focusing on key technological breakthroughs such as special steel materials and precision heat treatment, and high-value-added products becoming the core competitiveness; second, intelligent empowerment, with the wide application of automated assembly, online detection and other technologies, greatly improving production efficiency and product qualification rate; third, the outbreak of emerging tracks, the development of humanoid robots, new energy vehicles, wind power and other fields has driven the continuous growth of demand for high-precision and lightweight bearings.

At present, domestic bearing enterprises are gradually narrowing the gap with international giants, and have achieved overtaking in some market segments. Under the same precision specifications, the price of domestic bearings is only 30%-70% of that of imported products, with shorter delivery cycles and faster after-sales response, showing prominent cost performance advantages. At the same time, bearing industrial clusters represented by Linqing in Shandong continue to upgrade, forming an integrated industrial chain development pattern, further reducing industrial costs and enhancing regional competitiveness.

A relevant person in charge of Jinan Rockway Import & Export Co., Ltd. said that the company keeps up with the development trend of the industry and has achieved new breakthroughs in industrial production capacity. It has built a complete bearing production line, meeting the production standards of high precision, high level and high output. At present, the company is equipped with more than 100 grinding machines, more than 10 turning machines, more than 80 superfinishing machines, more than 30 product matching instruments, 20 cleaning machines, more than 20 oil filling machines and 5 oil coating machines, covering the entire process of bearing processing, assembly, testing and maintenance, which can efficiently meet the needs of large-scale and high-precision production of various bearings. In the future, the company will continue to integrate high-quality bearing resources, provide various bearing products and customized solutions that meet international standards, help global customers seize industry development opportunities, and promote domestic bearings to enter a broader international market.
