Global Industrial Gaskets Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global industrial gaskets market reached US$ XX million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2022-2029.

Industrial gaskets are key components of industrial applications that help prevent leaks, seal joints, limit vibration and enhance mounting. Gaskets are needed in several industries, including water and gas, food processing and petrochemical. Gaskets are used to stop leakage between the two surfaces while compressed because, over time, the joints may rust and the joints may break without a gasket.

Their purpose and industrial application regularly group gaskets. Three of the most common uses for the different types of industrial gaskets include anti-vibration, sealing and mounting. Any machine that creates frequency and vibration can benefit from using anti-vibration industrial gaskets. By effectively muffling vibration, the part of wasted energy is significantly limited. In addition, damage occurring from vibration is decreased by utilizing an anti-vibration type of gasket.

Market Dynamics

The global industrial gaskets market is expected to boost with oil & gas companies looking to reduce flange leakage and emissions.

Oil & gas companies looking to reduce flange leakage and emissions

As eco-awareness and sustainability take global priority, clean energy standards become increasingly stringent. Leakage and emissions reduction are of major concern in the oil & gas industry. Fugitive emissions (uncontrolled emissions from pressurized containment) are one metric gaining focus as green efforts ramp up. Current regulatory guidelines call for forming maximum leakage rates at set compressive loads, giving manufacturers a defined standard to reach. A flange leak results in energy loss and sometimes disastrous consequences. The operators are looking for effective solutions for preventing leaks of toxic material that can harm humans and the environment. Using an appropriate type of gasket will help achieve a reliable seal to stop the leak from the flange joints.

The market has different types of gaskets used in the oil and gas (petrochemical) industry and other heavy industries, including standard ANSI/ASME pipe flanges (an example is ASME B16.5 flanges) gaskets used in heat exchangers. As the oil & gas industry searches for more efficient solutions, the ability to measure system performance will grow more critical. In 2021, KLINGER United Kingdom launched the KLINGER Eco-Seal spiral wound gasket: A new standard in sustainability for the oil & gas industry. KLINGER UK, with the Eco-Seal, has developed a spiral wound gasket that is 10 times tighter than the standard.

Use of banned and harmful materials for manufacturing gasket

Asbestos-based gaskets were utilized in engines and heavy industry until public awareness of asbestos-related diseases forced manufacturers to find alternatives for the toxic mineral. Workers remain at a high risk of encountering asbestos gaskets when separating industrial machinery or old engines. Do-it-yourself auto mechanics are at risk of exposure to old asbestos gaskets. So far, asbestos has been completely banned in 67 countries, including European Union and Japan. While most modern gasket manufacturers use heat-resistant substitutes for asbestos, the U.S. EPA reports that imports of chrysotile asbestos are still used to make sheet gaskets and other types of gaskets. In 2021, EPA released its findings on chrysotile asbestos as part of an evaluation. The agency's Final Risk Evaluation for Asbestos, Part 1: Chrysotile Asbestos, detailed 32 uses of chrysotile asbestos, including certain types of gaskets. The EPA determined certain asbestos gaskets posed an unreasonable risk to the health of consumers and bystanders. The evaluation also stated commercial chrysotile asbestos utilized in sheet gaskets and other gaskets poses a risk to workers and occupational non-users.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to the closing of various industrial activities, the industrial gaskets market has faced substantial losses during the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to COVID, many activities are halted by refineries, chemical processing and water & wastewater. In 2020, U.S refiners faced deep financial losses and closed 5 facilities as the pandemic slashed fuel sales. However, the market has been stable in some end-user industries, such as pharmaceuticals and food & beverages. Governments take every necessary step to mitigate COVID-19 impact by promoting food processing.

For instance, UAE has tripled its local food production and is looking to boost the domestic production of essential items. Moreover, PTFE gaskets have seen positive growth due to their pharmaceutical applications in mixers, pumps, valves and flanged joints in piping & transfer equipment.

Segment Analysis

The global industrial gaskets market is segmented based on product, material, application and region.

Rising demand for PTFE gaskets in the oil & gas and power industry will boost the demand for non-metallic gasket market

The global industrial gaskets market is segmented into metallic, semi-metallic and non-metallic based on material. Non-metallic gaskets are fabricated from fiber, rubber, PTFE and graphite materials. The material properties make them suitable for flat-faced applications with low pressures. Non-Metallic gaskets are utilized in many applications such as pipe flanges, compressors, heat exchanges and bonnet valves. Non-metallic gaskets are normally used in low-temperature and pressure applications. Usually, composite sheet materials are used with flat face flanges and low-pressure class applications. PTFE gaskets are mostly used in high-performance bushing and bearing. It is ideal for many applications in aerospace, power and the oil & gas industry.

In 2019, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group expanded its BioPure gasket range, using new materials to cover wider applications to satisfy the high demand for consistent quality in bioprocessing components. The new Viton gaskets use innovative materials, synthetic rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and fluoropolymer elastomer, to provide the highest chemical and steam resistance. BioPure gaskets support leak-resistant connectivity within pharmaceutical and biotechnology production processes, lowering validation risks in contamination-free applications.

Geographical Analysis

Expanding refineries and other industrial sectors will boost the demand for industrial gaskets in Asia-Pacific

The growing industrialization and rising demand for energy have boosted industrial gaskets in the region. Industrial production in China grew 4.3% year-on-year in December 2021, accelerating from a 3.8% rise in the previous month and exceeding market forecasts of a 3.6 percent gain. Moreover, the region has emerged as one of the primary sectors in refineries. India has 18 public sector refineries and 5 refineries in the private sector. Moreover, 3 new refineries have been proposed for implementation at Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab.

Due to advancing industrialization, various companies are looking to expand their business in developing countries. For instance, in 2019, Trelleborg's marine and infrastructure started producing its Gina Gasket locally for the Chinese market, following a new manufacturing line at its manufacturing facility in Qingdao. The expansion of production capacity follows a cooperation agreement with Guangzhou Salvage and China Communications Construction Company.
