comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market
share, market size and demand forecasts on the global Gaskets and Seals market.
Global
market for Gaskets and Seals is projected to reach US$45.8 billion by 2020,
driven by technology advancements, and stringent safety policies aimed at
reducing hazardous leaks in process industries.
Gaskets and
seals represent important components in heavy machinery that help seal mating
surfaces to prevent leakages. As an indispensable element in the assembly of a broad
range of machinery used in diverse industries like manufacturing, energy/power
generation, automotive and construction, gaskets and seals is forecast to
witness steady growth. Growth opportunities in the market are directly
dependent on the health of the industrial sector and level of manufacturing
activity, which in turn are primarily dictated by economic growth, level of
consumer spending on goods and services, and credit availability, among others.
Stable demand from key end-use industries represents a major growth driver for the
gaskets and seals market. Stringent norms revolving around safe machinery operation
and personnel safety are benefiting periodic replacement of gasket and sales thus
encouraging sales. Further benefiting
demand is the increasing focus on maximizing the efficiency of plant assets and
improving productivity.
Advances in technology
are resulting in incremental improvements in mechanical strength of gaskets and
sealing capabilities of seals, thus opening novel application possibilities in newer
fields. Demand for high performance and functional products will continue to
push manufacturers to invest in R&D to advance product capabilities. Increasing
oil exploration and extraction activity, including shale gas, is forecast to
translate into robust demand for gaskets and seals used in exploration,
extraction and transport machinery.
As stated by
the new market research report on Gaskets and Seals, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing market worldwide
with a projected CAGR of 7.0% over the
analysis period. Growing GDP, rapid industrialization and the subsequent
need to adhere to safety standards, increasing construction activity, and ballooning production and industrial bases remain key
growth driving forces in the region. The automotive sector represents
the largest end-use application sector.
