Global Metal Working Fluids Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Metal Working Fluids market size is predicted to grow from US$ 7865 million in 2025 to US$ 8367 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.0% from 2025 to 2031.

Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are used to reduce heat and friction and to remove metal particles in industrial machining and grinding operations. There are numerous formulations, ranging from Removal fluids (such as petroleum oils) to water-based fluids, which include Treating fluids and semisynthetic/Protecting fluids. MWFs may be complex mixtures of oils, emulsifiers, anti-weld agents, corrosion inhibitors, extreme pressure additives, buffers (alkaline reserve), biocides, and other additives. In use, the fluid complexity is compounded by contamination with substances from the manufacturing process (such as tramp oils, hydraulic fluids, and particulate matter from grinding and machining operations).

Global Metal Working Fluids key players include Quaker Houghton, Exxon Mobil, Fuchs, etc., which are mainly located in North America, Europe, China, Japan, India, etc. The top three producers together account for more than 25% of the market share, with the largest producer being Quaker Houghton with 11%. Europe has the largest sales market, with a 27% market share. In terms of product categories, metal removal fluids have the largest market share with 50%, followed by metal forming fluids with 30%. In terms of applications, machinery is the top application area with a 48% market share.
