Market Highlights
The construction equipment seals market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 4.5 Billion in 2027.
What are construction equipment seals?
Construction equipment seals are small components used to join two or more surfaces together to prevent leakage of oil or water used by the equipment. One of the important roles of seals is to prevent environmental contamination, as they stop unwanted particles from entering; and also help in maintaining pressure. The effectiveness of a seal is determined by a property known as adherence. High-powered equipment requires specific components to maintain a consistent level of work performance, and seals play an important role in this
Covid-19 Impact
The construction equipment market was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, causing consequential disruption and significant losses for the stakeholders. The construction equipment seals market followed suit and logged a massive decline of -14.7% in 2020, creating a lag of four to five years in the market. However, the long-term outlook still seems rewarding, owing to a rebound in the construction industry and increasing government investments in building & infrastructure.
Market Dynamics
Seals are the major components used in different engine sections where high-temperature resistance and excellent corrosion resistance are critical. Seals also serve to contain pressure, maintain vacuums, and prevent unwanted particles from accumulating in hydraulic applications. The selection of material is dependent on several parameters such as temperature resistance, lightweight, durability, and strength. Thermoplastics are gaining traction in the market, driven by their significant advantages over other materials.
Segment Analysis
Application Trend
The construction equipment seals market is segmented as excavators, cranes, construction logistic vehicles, dozers, tunneling & boring equipment, and others. Excavator is expected to remain the largest, whereas cranes to be the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Excavators are heavy earth-moving equipment with a bucket, arm, rotating cab, and tracks. They have a lot of static and dynamic parts, including many different kinds of seals.
Product Trends
The market is segmented as O-rings, gaskets, energized seals, lip seals, mechanical seals, and others. Energized seals are expected to remain the most dominant seal type, whereas lip seals to be the fastest-growing product type in the market during the forecast period. Energized seals serve the same purpose as traditional O-rings. In addition, they also provide a higher level of leak protection than O-rings. Because of the abundance of hydraulic/linear applications (cylinders, valves, unions, and transmissions), there is a high demand for energized seals in construction equipment.
Material Trends
The market is segmented into elastomeric seals, thermoplastic seals, and metallic seals. Thermoplastic seals are expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Because of their superior properties such as strength, stiffness, and toughness, they are the most desirable material for high-performance applications.
Regional Analysis
North America is expected to remain the biggest market, whereas Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Most seals suppliers have their presence in the USA to address the emergent needs of OEMs (Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., and John Deere). The massive production of construction equipment by global players in the North American region creates a huge demand for seals at the OE level, whereas the Asia-Pacific region's rapid growth is due to the substantial demand for seals at the aftermarket level.
