Global Mechanical Seals Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Mechanical seals are devices that provide a seal at the point of entry or exit of a rotating shaft. Typically, it is used to prevent the leakage of one high-pressure fluid into a lower-pressure fluid. The key utility of a mechanical seal is to prevent leakage of fluids or gases through the clearance between the shaft and the container. Mechanical seals consist of a set of 2 faces separated by carbon rings. The first face is in contact with the rotating equipment whereas the second face is stationary. Moreover, the main part of the seal is the seal ring (first face) on which the mechanical force is acting, generated by springs, bellows, or fluids in the equipment.

Market Overview:


The latest research study on the global Mechanical Seals market finds that the global Mechanical Seals market reached a value of USD 3966.69 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 5885.84 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 virus has had a severe effect on Mechanical Seals Market. India, the US, China, and Japan have been hit hard by the epidemic, which is playing a key role in the production of the. The COVID-19 virus has closed the manufacturing of mechanical seals due to the lockdown worldwide. This has hampered the growth of the Mechanical Seals market. Industrial Seals companies rely heavily on the supply of raw materials, components, and materials from different countries around the world. With so many governments limiting exports, manufacturers had to stop production due to a shortage of raw materials.

Rising manufacturing industry to boost market growth

The rising adoption of mechanical seals across the industrial spectrum will primarily drive the growth of this market in the given time period. The fundamental function of a mechanical seal is to seal or fill the gap between a stuffing box and a rotary shaft, thereby preventing any leakage of gases or liquids in rotating shaft systems.

Wide application

Mechanical seals are extensively used in end industries to avoid leaks, propelling the market. Mechanical seals are mainly used in the oil and gas industry. Increasing demand for mechanical seals from end-use industries such as oil and gas, chemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries is a major reason for growth of the global mechanical seal market.

Challenges associated with manufacturing, design, and material construction

Challenges associated with manufacturing, design, and material construction are expected to hinder the global gasket and seals market during the forecast period. Improvisation of machine design due to the increasing need for compact, efficient, and high-performance processes has resulted in the requirement for highly customized mechanical seals.

Technology development

Mechanical Seals market growth is likely to be influenced positively by the development of strong sealing technology for enhanced performance in subsea oil finds. Furthermore, the advancement of RFID technology for seals allows for more durable and efficient seal maintenance, boosting the seals' long-term worth.

Flowserve is one of the major players operating in the Mechanical Seals market, holding a share of 13.11% in 2022.

Segmentation Overview:


Compressor mechanical seals are used on toxic and/or flammable gases, or when the process is contaminated with particles. The seal supply gas is maintained at a pressure higher than the pressure of the gas being sealed, which isolates the process gas from the atmosphere.

Pump mechanical seals are machine elements, which are used to join systems or mechanisms together for preventing leakage. Pump mechanical seals are the seals that are specially designed for pumps and are used to seal the passage point between the rotating part of the shaft and the stationary part of the pump housing.

Among different product types, Pump Mechanical Seals segment is anticipated to contribute the largest market share in 2027.

Application Overview:


Mechanical seals are an essential part of many machines and processes in the oil and gas industry. Without them, it would be difficult to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases. By using different types of mechanical seals, engineers can tailor the seal to the specific needs of the application. Oil and gas have the highest growing segment of the market attributed to the increasing use of mechanical seals in the oil and gas industry to decrease fluid losses, leisure time, seals, and general maintenance as compared to other End User Industries.

Mechanical seals are utilized in a variety of applications such as pumps, mixers, aerators, and other equipment in power plants ranging from coal and natural gas to nuclear, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy. The electricity industry is used because its ability to satisfy performance goals depends on various factors, such as equipment design, operating conditions, and support systems. The power plant industry demands sealing systems with optimum operating reliability, ease of maintenance, low leakage rates, and appropriate environmental protection measures. Mechanical seal solutions and services improve power plant manufacturing performance by increasing operational dependability, improving equipment uptime, reducing seal water usage and energy consumption, and ensuring cost-effective environmental compliance.

In the Chemicals industry, the transportation of hazardous chemicals such as corrosive media and grinding fluid at extreme temperatures is a small part of the extensive difficulties involved in chemical processing applications. Therefore, when it is necessary to contain, transfer or isolate gas or fluid, strict sealing equipment is required, which also requires the use of chemical corrosion-resistant and elastic mechanical seals in the Chemicals industry.

The market's largest segment by application is the segment Electricity, with a market share of 42.52% in 2021.
