Q. According you what are the factors affecting to your business?

Counterfeit products:
Spurious products of sub-standard quality pose a threat not only to organized bearing sector but also to susceptible customers who buy such products, Counterfeit bearing products probably account for 20% to 30% of bearings sold in replacement market. Thus, the bearings sector seeks active measures to safeguard the companies as well as the consumers. The problems with the industry remain widespread but with support and cooperation of authorities the concerns can be met appropriately

Govt. Policies:
The policy initiatives in past few quarters are likely to result well for the bearing industry’s revenue growth going forward.

Companies are streamlining the raw material in coherence with the market necessity leading to weight reduction, and more efficiency, reliability and safety. The bearings industry today is also working towards reducing the size of bearings and delivering more load bearing capacities.

Focus now also has increased on Industry 4.0 and predictive maintenance generating huge prospects for the component manufacturers
