Market Highlights
Seals play an important role in improving the efficiency and performance of machinery or equipment. They can retain lubrication and prevent contamination by blocking dust and other unwanted particles from entering machines. They are also responsible for increasing machine life and productivity. Hence, selecting appropriate seals for equipment is critical.
Seals have a wide range of applications, one of which is in energy & power. Energy & power seals are components found in energy & power generators and transmitters. They are present in solar panels, motors, wind turbines, and other similar devices. High-temperature resistance and excellent corrosion resistance are the two critical properties of energy & power seals. Seals are made from materials that are lightweight, durable, and strong, and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit the diameters of machines.
The pandemic struck the growing energy & power seals market in 2020, resulting in significant losses for market shareholders. In 2020, the energy & power seals market experienced a massive -11.7% decline. However, the long-term interpretation still seems favorable and rewarding, owing to the strong industry fundamentals. The energy & power seals market is expected to grow steadily at a healthy CAGR of 4.8%, during the forecast period, to reach a value of US$ 13.2 Billion in 2027.
Market Segments' Analysis
Based on the application type, the energy & power seals market is segmented as power generation and transmission, and oil & gas. Power generation and transmission are expected to remain the largest segment during the forecast period. The rising demand for electricity from the residential, industrial, and commercial sectors will drive the demand for power generation and transmission, which, in turn, will increase the demand for power generation and transmission seals.
Based on the product type, the energy & power seals market is segmented as O-rings, gaskets, energized seals, lip seals, mechanical seals, and others. Lip seals are expected to remain the largest, whereas mechanical seals are likely to be the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Lip seals are used in a wide range of applications from steady-moving machines to high-speed motion. Mechanical seals are used in thermal power plants, and gas and nuclear plants, among others. These components are used to preserve the integrity of machines by preventing fluid leakages.
Based on the material type, the market is segmented into elastomeric seals, thermoplastic seals, and metallic seals. Elastomers are expected to remain the largest, whereas thermoplastics are estimated to be the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Elastomers and thermoplastics are desirable materials for high-performance seals because of their superior strength, stiffness, and toughness. Elastomers have the ability to return to their original shape and size, and they do not melt at higher temperatures, making them suitable for high-temperature applications in the energy & power sector.
In terms of regions, the market is segmented as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the most significant and fastest-growing energy & power seals market during the forecast period. Increasing demand for energy and power due to growing population, rapid urbanization, and a sharp rise in investment in the energy & power sector are among the key factors responsible to drive the growth of the market in this region.
