Market Highlights
The Scandinavian Seals Market is likely to grow at a healthy CAGR of 3.4%, over the next 5 years, to reach US$ 496 million in 2028.
Scandinavia is one of the largest and most highly competitive markets for seals in Europe, with several major global players in the market. Trelleborg, SKF, and Huhnseal are the major players with headquarters in Sweden. All the major players in the market provide sealing solutions for a wide range of industries and have vast product portfolios.
The Scandinavian market is fairly well-represented, with a large number of customers from all the major end-use industries including food & beverage processing & packaging machinery manufacturers, pharmaceutical processing & packaging machinery manufacturers, chemical & petrochemical processing machinery manufacturers, construction equipment manufacturers, agricultural equipment manufacturers, material handling equipment manufacturers, industrial robotics manufacturers, industrial machinery manufacturers, power tools manufacturers, medical equipment and device manufacturers, sanitary equipment manufacturers, and energy & power generation, transmission, and storage equipment manufacturers.
All the customers procure various types of seals with different types of seals dominating different end-use industries according to the applications. All the major players are putting efforts into developing seals that would cater to the merging demand from these industries, such as lightweight, extrusion-resistant, chemical-resistant, hygienic, high-temperature-resistant, and durable seals.
Chemical resistance, extrusion resistance, and hygiene are the key areas of concentration for the major players while developing new products. Hygienic seals are developed to fulfill the demand for strict hygiene and cleanliness standards in the food processing industry. Elastomers or perfluorocarbons are used in high-purity hygienic seals where critical clean water, process fluids (both ambient and hot), and SIP environments exist.
Some of the Recent Product Developments are:
- Freudenberg worked with Bardiani Valvole and launched a special sealing solution for hygienic high-pressure valves used in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
- Freudenberg introduced Hygienic Forseal and Hygienic Pressure Seal for the processing industry.
- Trelleborg launched the HMF Flatseal Gasket for use in harsh chemical environments in the chemical processing, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, aerospace, and automotive industries.
Furthermore, the expected rise in industrial productivity, innovations, and growing government initiatives to modernize and digitalize traditional industries as well as focus on sustainable and resource-efficient production, talent creation, and innovation, are likely to create huge growth opportunities over the next five years.
Overall, the Scandinavian seals market is highly fragmented with the presence of 25+ regional, local, and global seals manufacturers in the market. However, the market has witnessed gradual consolidation over the years with major players acquiring regional/local players in the market to strengthen their portfolio, geographical reach, and market positions.
Covid-19 Impact
The Scandinavian seals market, a fair-sized market, saw a decline (>-11%) in 2020, due to the temporary halt in manufacturing in several industries, including construction equipment, agricultural, material handling, chemical, sanitary, etc., led by the pandemic. However, the market has witnessed enormous growth in the year 2021, owing to the commencement of recovery in all six end-use industries and the overall V-shaped recovery in the market.
Some of the Recent Market Mergers and Acquisitions are:
- In 2021, Densiq AB, a Swedish company and one of the industry leaders in sealing technology in Scandinavia, acquired DEPAC, a provider of mechanical seals and hydraulic seals.
- In 2020, Kaman Corporation acquired Bal Seal Engineering, Inc., a leader in the manufacturing of highly engineered products, including precision springs, seals, and contacts.
