Market Highlights
Lip seals are used to protect rotating shafts from contamination and decompression. They play an important role in protecting the internal components of sealing systems, which are susceptible to wear and tear. Lip seals on shafts also serve to preserve important fluids, lubricants, and gases. They prevent dirt, dust, and other unwanted particles from entering the application. Lip seals come in a wide range of shapes and sizes to fit the equipment in which they are needed to be installed. They have a range of applications, from slow-moving devices to high-speed rotation and they work across a wide temperature range.
The growing lip seals market was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, resulting in a -7.8% decline, causing major disruption and significant losses for the shareholders. The lip seals market was plagued by the fallouts of the pandemic, such as a halt in production, supply chain disruption, lack of manpower, and shortage of raw materials.
Lip seals enhance machine strength and performance. Lip seals must maintain proper contact with other parts of the system to perform well; otherwise, they will leak. Because lip seals are exposed to corrosive chemicals and materials, corrosion resistance should be excellent. Lip seals are among the vital machine components. They seem to be on almost every piece of plant machine. Owing to the aforementioned properties of lip seals, the long-term outlook of the market seems positive. The market for lip seals is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 16.9 Billion in 2027.
