Machine Parts and Bearings
Fig2 shows the analysis of demand for Machine parts and Bearings for the period from 2011 through2020.
In 2020, Machine Parts Production volume for Vehicles was 64,894 ton, 20.4% decrease from theprevious year.
In the field of Transportation Machine, Industrial Machine and Electric Machine, demands of almost
all users showed sharp decrease because of COVID-19. But there are some use that was recovered
quickly. In the Transportation Machine, that is main user of P/M, Automobile Parts for environmental
counterplan like EV and HEV were increased. In the field of Industrial Machine, some parts for healthwere increased because of special demand.
Production volume of Bearings for Vehicles was 3,126 ton, 17.2% decrease from the previous year.
Same as Machine Parts, production amount of Bearings were decreased because of COVID-19 andproduction transfer to foreign countries. Some Electric products and parts for Information Equipment
were increased because of big demand increase, but that influence did not cover the whole decrease.
