Gasket and Seals Market is gaining rapid traction with Superior Industries Inc. launching application-specific idlers seals at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020
Gasket and seals are mainly
mechanical parts primarily utilized to fill the voids between two or more moving
surfaces in order to avoid leakage of fluids and gas. Generally, they are used
together with packing compounds to assist manufacturers to keep ideal pressure
within a component while still maintaining lubricity. As the names suggest, the
gasket and seals play an important role in ensuring the smooth movement of air,
fluids, and gases inside an assembly. When it comes to geographical footprint
Europe seems to be gaining rapid traction in the gasket and seals market. This
is mainly due to the fact that there is high demand for gaskets and seals in
the aerospace as well as defense sectors. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is
exhibiting lucrative signs in the adoption of gasket and seals. Rapid motor
vehicle production in emerging economies such as Japan and China.
The demand for gaskets and seals has
increased over the years, with typical applications in the oil and gas
industry. As a result of this, key manufacturers are focused on continuous
research and development activities, in order to expand their product portfolio
and gain a competitive edge in the market. Recently, in August 2020, Alba
Gaskets Ltd. launched Alba-RIG (Rapid Integrity Gasket) for the oil and gas
industry. Hence, such product launches can stimulate growth of the gasket
and seals market.
Gasket and seals are often utilized
together with a silicone fluid to assist with the sealing of the cap sheets of
electrical boxes. This is particularly applicable in automotive applications
where the sealant is applied across the box caps for protection against oil and
dust. The gasket is then placed over the caps and tightened to provide optimal
protection to the electrical components. Despite high demand from various
end-use sectors, the gasket and seals market is likely to witness a potential
dip in the near future. In the recent past, automotive production has slowed
down in various countries due to slow economic growth. Besides, stagnant
industrial growth in developed countries as well as the negative impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic can inhibit growth of the gasket and seals market.
As demand for seals and gaskets
increases, so does the number of suppliers in the marketplace. This has
resulted in lower prices due to the increased competition, enabling end-users
to benefit from cost-effective solutions to their most pressing issues. The
demand for gaskets and seals has gone in the chemicals and petrochemical sector
as well. Gaskets and seals are typically used as sealants to fill
irregularities or gaps between two or more surfaces. While a special type of
gasket is required in the petrochemical sector, it is required to have certain
properties such as chemical resistance, pressure resistance, temperature
resistance, and compression. Thus, such factors can augment growth of the
gasket and seals market.
Recently, in January 2020, Superior
Industries Inc. launched application-specific idlers seals at CONEXPO-CON/AGG
2020.
