In 2024, Maldives saw a diverse range of imports of sliding bearings, with top exporting countries being China, Austria, India, USA, and Japan. Despite the varied sources, the market remained relatively unconcentrated with a low Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at a healthy 10.9%, indicating a consistent expansion in demand for sliding bearings. However, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, with a -3.45% change, highlighting a potential shift in market dynamics during that period.
