Heat Transfer Fluids Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Heat Transfer Fluids Market
The heat transfer fluids market size was valued at USD 3477.90 million in 2019, and the market is now projected to grow USD 5372.24 million in 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.78% during the forecast period of 2020-2027.
Heat transfer fluids market facing decline for some period during COVID-19 due to the interruption of supply chain and declined industrial production. This led to a poor market outlook resulting from cut on spending by developed nations’ customers such as oil and gas, chemical and power sector. Quarantine measures resulted in project scheduling disruption and shut down of production lines. But, the demand for energy-efficient solutions is likely to help recover in the long run since demand for good does not stay constant. The market is gradually coming back to production activity as more industries remain operational and turn to improved heat transfer fluid solutions.
Businesses running industries are constantly in a fix to increase productivity hence must use the heat transfer fluid at elevated temperatures and for a more extended period than before. This is especially important with industries for example chemical and petrochemical where production unit are always running and need good control of temperature. Such high temperature environments require heat transfer fluids to ensure energy efficiency, safe and reliable temperature operation. These fluids also are of great importance, particularly as far as general operational security is concerned. Thus, there is increasing focus on HTFs in industries which are continuous/24-Hour operations.
Solar collectors use heat transfer fluids which are water, water-glycol solution and dimethyl trimethylene glycol otherwise known as the “green glycol.” Naphthenic, aromatic, and paraffinic oils are hydrocarbon oils whose proportions in the formulation depend on the temperature of the process. Semi-synthetic products are used where necessary too. The use of these fluids is particularly critical for high temperature solar collectors, thus much research is done on it. Investigative studies have indicated potential of synthetic hydrocarbon oils in effectively enhancing capacity in high temperature uses, making the oils commercially viable options.
