Gaskets and Seals Market Report


Gaskets and Seals Market Trends:

Increasing demand for electric vehicles

According to a 2018 article, the United States is not alone in its efforts to promote green transportation. The UK has registered over 166,000 electric vehicles, with an expected 49 million in circulation by 2050. The EV sector is seeing exponential expansion across the globe, with China registering over 1.2 million EVs and the United States recording 750,000. Gaskets and seals are widely employed in electric vehicle battery systems. The battery packs are enclosed within the panels, forming the upper and lower housing, with gaskets and seals separating the portions. It also keeps dust and liquids out of the housing space. This, in turn, is contributing to the gaskets and seals market growth.

Rising product demand in the aerospace sector

The number of commercial flights decreased significantly during the pandemic but increased after the outbreak. According to a study, the number of commercial flights in the EU increased by 25% between August 2021 and August 2022. This increasing percentage represents growth, but remains lower than the pre-pandemic level. However, this gap is closing quickly. Seals and gaskets are used in the aerospace and aviation industries to seal gaps between mating surfaces on aircraft. It also provides environmental sealing, flame or fire barrier, oil and fuel resistance, among other properties. This is resulting in a higher uptake of the product in the construction of aircrafts, which is propelling the gaskets and seals demand over the forecast period.

Rising product applications in the oil and gas industry

The oil and gas industry operates in a difficult environment with high operating efficiency, necessitating maximum equipment uptime. The industry prioritizes controlling the leakage of potentially dangerous petrochemical products in valves. Rising oil and gas exploration activities, as well as an expanding chemical processing sector, are likely to drive the demand for pipeline and heat exchanger gaskets. Gaskets and seals are essential in various equipment in the sector to ensure proper functioning since they help prevent leakage of any type of liquid or gas processing, thereby contributing to the growing gaskets and seals market revenue.
