Market Highlights
Energized seals are used in different industries to provide a reliable, durable, and efficient sealing solution in critical applications and under extreme operating conditions. These seals are made by embedding a spring inside a jacket of rigid materials that have exceptional properties for operation in critical conditions. This process increases the tensile strength of a rigid material, making it suitable for use as a seal. When elastomer and polyurethane-based seals fail to meet the operating conditions, equipment parameters, or environmental conditions, energized seals are used as a replacement. They offer a gas-tight sealing solution, reduce fugitive emissions, and comply with environmental regulations. Among the various materials, PTFE is most commonly used for jackets, whereas stainless steel is mostly used as the energizer in energized seals.
The pandemic enervated the energized seals market, causing many industries that use energized seals to suffer from production halts, labor, and raw material shortages, and low demand for finished products. Furthermore, the aftermarket demand for seals was disrupted as a result of lockdowns in many countries around the world. Following these factors, the energized seals market experienced a colossal decline of -11.1% in 2020.
However, the energized seals market is expected to rebound at a rapid pace to surpass the market's pre-covid level and reach new heights. Various factors, such as ease of COVID restrictions, resumption of manufacturing plants, growth of the manufacturing sector with a growing population, rapid infrastructure development, and technological adoption, are propelling the demand for energized seals. Furthermore, consumer demand for dependable, efficient, and secure seals is driving the market demand for high-quality energized seals. Following these trends, the energized seals market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 13.2 Billion in 2027.
Market Segments' Analysis
Based on the end-use industry type, the energized seals market is segmented as transportation, processing, electrical & electronics, mobile machinery, manufacturing tools, energy & power, and others. Transportation is expected to remain the largest segment of the market during the forecast period. The transportation industry's demand for energized seals is driven by the increasing demand for mobility, as well as the demand for reliable and safe modes of transportation. Spring-energized seals are used in direct fuel injection systems, engine pistons and rods, aircraft landing gear, and other applications.
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing region in the market for energized seals during the forecast period. This is the world's most populous region, creating a high demand for transportation, power, and finished goods. Furthermore, the governments of many countries in the region are promoting the manufacturing sector through initiatives such as Make in India, and Made in China, among others. All of these factors are increasing the demand for energized seals in the region from various OEMs.
