Functional Fluids Market

Introduction

Functional fluids are a broad categorization of numerous types of fluids ranging from brake fluids to process oils. These are largely employed in industrial operations. Alongside, the functional fluids can also be used as a reactant in several process steps, ranging from raw material to finished product production. Functional fluids are often considered along with lubricants, both synthetic and natural, and comprise a sizeable proportion of the same.

The rising prominence of metalworking fluids with minimal mineral oil content is the latest development in the global functional fluids market. Additionally, the manufacturers are also focused on the research & development of greener products that are environmentally acceptable.

Functional Fluids Market Dynamics

The rising demand for high-performance products in industrial metal fabrication is expected to propel the market for functional fluids over the forecast period. The optimistic growth in the global automotive production, as well as the on-road fleet, is anticipated to keep the consumption of the functional fluids to expand on a higher note throughout the forecast period. The large investments in developing newer base stock facilities are expected to maintain the current functional fluids production scenario to grow optimistically. Moreover, the functional fluids, based on their performance features offer reduced overall maintenance time as well as turnaround costs which make them the most preferred choice among the end-users.

The rising environmental concerns are compelling the manufacturers to develop environmentally friendly products. This is expected to have a moderately negative impact on the global functional fluids market in the short term. The downstream Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are strongly noted to abide by these regulations and are adopting the greener alternative products available in the market. Hence, the manufacturers focused on commercializing these products are expected to have the “first–movers’ advantage” and witness lucrative growth over the forecast period.

Functional Fluids Market: Regional Outlook

On a regional front, the global functional fluids market is anticipated to remain directly influenced by the growth in the end-use industries based in the Asia Pacific. Hence, the countries in East Asia (such as China, South Korea, and Japan) are estimated to account for a prominent proportion in terms of volumetric consumption of functional fluids. Following East Asia, the European functional fluids market is noted to remain a high-consuming region but expanding at a steady pace. Similar growth is expected to be showcased by the countries of North America.

However, much more robust growth is expected to be witnessed by the South Asia region. Countries such as India and ASEAN countries are optimizing their regulatory framework making it suitable for the manufacturers to set up and upscale their business operations in the region. This is considered to be one of the primary reasons for the growth of the functional fluids market. The functional fluids market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is forecast to contribute a significant proportion to the global market over the forecast period.
