Market Dynamics

Introduction

Hoses are hollow flexible tubes, designed to convey different fluids or media from one point to another. Specialty hoses are a subset of industrial hoses, which are designed to perform specific tasks or are used for specific applications that other industrial hoses can’t perform. They are designed in such a manner that they can handle higher temperatures with flame resistance or have tough barriers to prevent permeation and contamination as per the requirement of the application.

Specialty hoses comprise of an inner core material that is reinforced with high-tensile helical wire (fiberglass, stainless steel, high-tensile synthetic textile, etc.) and is covered by a hose cover that provides additional resistance from abrasion and tear. The inner core material can also be constructed from elastomers and fluoropolymers to provide flexibility, heat resistance, durability, and ease of operations.

Market Drivers

The key factors driving the market for specialty hoses are listed below.

• Organic growth of the steel and chemical industries along with expected expansion of the automobile sector.
• Excellent heat- and abrasion-resistant properties of specialty hoses make them a suitable claimant for the conveyance of aggressive chemicals and hot oil products.
• Rapidly expanding industrial sector in the emerging economies is providing new avenues for the players in the specialty hoses market.
• An ongoing transformation of the industrial sector from conventional sources of energy, such as coal to LPG and natural gas, is further likely to boost the demand for specialty hoses.

Segment Analysis

Chemical Segment: the Key Growth Engine

On the basis of media type, the specialty hoses market is segmented into chemical, gas, oil, water, and others. The chemical segment is likely to remain the growth engine of the market during the forecast period. Expansion of the chemical industry in terms of production, technological advancement; increasing penetration of specialty chemicals in paints, coatings, and additives; and development of new applications are the major factors driving the market for specialty hoses in the chemical segment.

Specialty Hoses with Nitrile Rubber Inner Core are Dominant

Based on the inner core type, the market is segmented into nitrile rubber, EPDM rubber, nylon, polyester, and others. Nitrile rubber is expected to remain the dominant and the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Specialty hoses with nitrile rubber as inner core are predominantly used in applications such as LPG delivery; conveyance of refrigerant gases and refrigerant systems; and delivery of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other fuels, owing to their excellent flexibility, ease of handling, and excellent resistance from oils, acids, fuels, and abrasion.

In-plant Transfer: the Largest Application Area of Specialty Hoses

On the basis of application type, the specialty hoses market is segmented into in-plant transfer, LPG delivery, welding, drainage service, hydraulic service, firefighting, and others. The in-plant transfer is expected to remain the dominant application of the market during the forecast period, whereas LPG delivery is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the same period. In-plant transfer applications majorly include conveyance of oil, chemicals, refrigerant gas, hot and cold water, slurries, and bitumen. 

Asia-Pacific: the Largest Market; China: the Global Leader

In terms of region, Asia-Pacific is projected to remain the largest market for specialty hoses during the forecast period. Increasing chemical production and rising LPG demand are fuelling the growth of the specialty hoses market in the region. China and India are the growth engine of the region’s market. China is one of the largest producers of chemicals and petrochemicals across the world. China and India are also the largest importers of oil and fuel in the region. All these factors are contributing to the dominance of the region in the specialty hoses market.

China is the largest market for specialty hoses in the world, owing to the huge demand from its industrial and manufacturing sectors. This factor has led to the increased focus of industry players towards strengthening their roots in the region. For example, Continental AG has opened a new hose facility in China to meet the demand from the Chinese automotive industry. The company is also planning to build an R&D center at the facility dedicated to hose products only.

North America is projected to remain the second-largest market for specialty hoses during the forecast period. The USA is the growth engine of the region’s market, driven by large-scale production of oil and gas to meet the energy requirements of its industrial sector. Increasing shale gas activities in the USA and rising oil & fuel demand in Mexico and Canada are the major factors, driving the growth of the specialty hoses market in the region.
