Market Dynamics

Introduction

Encapsulated O-rings have a wide range of applications in various end-use industries, including chemicals, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas. Despite being a small component of these end-use industries, encapsulated O-rings play an essential role in the smooth functioning of various equipment or devices, such as pumps, valves, cartridge filters, heat exchangers, pipelines, gas compressors, chemical reactor vessels, and pressure vessels. Compared with the other O-rings, encapsulated O-rings offer several advantages, such as high resistance to numerous chemicals except for alkali metals and some fluorine compounds, FDA-compliant, suitability in a broad range of temperatures, low coefficient of friction, low permeation, non-contaminating, and exclusively suitable where hygiene is of paramount importance.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected various end-use industries where encapsulated O-rings are preferred, including the halt of production facilities, shortage of labor, and disruption of the supply chain across the globe. Chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, semiconductor, and automotive were among the worst-hit industries. On the other side, the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries registered the least impact of the pandemic. The severe impact of the pandemic on chemical, petrochemical, semiconductor, oil & gas, and automotive industries was partially offset by the significant growth in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.

Market Drivers

The stringent regulations, such as FDA, EC 2023/2006, EU Reg. 1935/2004, and USP Class-VI, and failure of solid PTFE O-rings in harsh chemical and high-temperature environments provide good growth opportunities to encapsulated O-ring manufacturers. Overall, the encapsulated O-rings market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for high-performance sealing solutions in various industries.

Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions:

  • In 2023, TFC acquired EAP International Limited, a leading distributor of rubber sealing products, including encapsulated O-rings, gaskets, and associated technical products. EAP International is headquartered in Greater Manchester, the UK.
  • In 2024, Carco PRP Group acquired ROW, Inc., a Chicago-Illinois-based manufacturer of encapsulated O-rings and gaskets used in industrial applications in the filtration, fluid power, hydraulics, and pharmaceutical industries.

By Jacket Material Type

Stratview has first segmented the encapsulated O-rings market based on the jacket material type as FEP and PFA. FEP is expected to remain the most preferred jacket material type in the market in years to come. Lower cost along with several other advantages including high resistance to corrosion and chemicals, low compression set, and low coefficient of friction, making FEP the preferred choice for all standard applications up to 205°C. PFA-encapsulated O-rings are used for higher temperature ranges. They have higher mechanical strength and improved crack resistance; hence, longer service life than FEP-encapsulated O-rings.

By Core Material Type

Based on the core material type, the encapsulated O-rings market is segmented into FKM, silicone, and others. Due to the excellent elasticity, good chemical resistance, and outstanding compression, FKM core material dominated the market in 2023 and is likely to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The silicone core material is preferred in low-temperature applications as it remains flexible at a lower temperature because of its greater softness than FKM and has a higher standard of heat resistance.

By Core Structure Type

Based on the core structure type, the encapsulated O-rings market is segmented into solid core and hollow core structures. Solid core is likely to remain the leading segment of the market in the coming years, driven by its excellent resistance to compression set and good recovery characteristics. FKM and silicone are dominantly used core materials for solid-core encapsulated O-rings. FKM solid core provides excellent elasticity and high-level compression, whereas silicone solid core performs excellent for a wider range of temperatures.

By End-Use Industry Type

Based on the end-use industry type, the encapsulated O-rings market is classified into chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and others (oil & gas, semiconductor, aerospace & defense, and automotive industry). The chemical industry is the biggest user of encapsulated O-rings, driven by the extensive use of aggressive chemicals, making encapsulated O-rings a preferred choice. These O-rings are also widely used in the food & beverages and pharmaceutical industries as they are compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), EC1935/2004 and EC2023/2006, USP Class VI, and 3A 18-03 Sanitary Standards.

Regional Insights

In terms of regions, Europe is expected to maintain its lead in the years to come with the presence of leading encapsulated O-ring manufacturers, such as Vulcan Engineering Limited and Northern Engineering (Sheffield) Ltd. Europe is one of the largest producers of chemicals, petrochemicals, automotive, and food processing equipment. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market with China and India being the growth engines. This growth will likely be accompanied by a rise in local production, increased competition, and growing awareness for superior sealing solutions.
