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

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

Pneumatic seals are used in cylinders and valves to prevent leakage of air and gas from components that operate at low pressure and high speed. These seals are majorly used in pneumatic devices that run on reciprocating and rotary mechanisms. Pneumatic seals are specialized products that seal pneumatic devices. Pneumatic devices use pressurized gas to create motion and power, and pneumatic seals are used to prevent the escape of this pressurized gas. There are many different types of pneumatic seals available on the market, each designed for a specific purpose. Common pneumatic seals include piston seals, rod seals, wipers, etc.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Pneumatic Seals market finds that the global Pneumatic Seals market reached a value of USD 1408.97 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1818.23 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.34% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the growth of the pneumatic seals industry owing to the lockdown measure in the countries and delays in manufacturing and production of the pneumatic seals which are utilized in automotive, oil & gas, mining, and other industries. Moreover, due to the impact of the epidemic, the production of raw materials and equipment procurement and transportation supply are difficult to be in place, and upstream enterprises affect the work schedule of downstream enterprises. Equipment manufacturing and product manufacturing enterprises in hydraulic seals industry are affected to different degrees, and the production and delivery work may be delayed to some extent. Meanwhile, if it fails to meet the customer's delivery time requirements according to the contract, it may lead to the customer looking for another enterprise and lose business.

Growing demand from downstream industry

The global pneumatic seals market is projected to grow at a significant pace over the forecast period on account of rising demand from end-use industries such as automotive, Heavy Industry building, and machinery & equipment. Pneumatic seals are widely used in these industries for sealing applications.

Pneumatic seals are economical for consumers

Pneumatic seals are affordable and cost-effective for consumers. The superior elastic and wear resistance properties of pneumatic seals extends operating thresholds and life of the seals, thus reducing the cost of pneumatic seals. The materials used for making pneumatic seals need to be replaced rarely, which in turn reduces the cost of the product. Moreover, pneumatic seals are manufactured on a larger scale, thus making the market more consumer durable.

Growing demand for electromechanical equipment

The growing demand for electromechanical equipment is challenging the global pneumatic seal market growth. Electromechanical equipment is gaining prominence over pneumatic equipment due to increasing concerns about environmental issues and the high energy consumption of pneumatic equipment.

Segmentation Overview:

Wiper seals are typically used on pneumatic cylinders. Wiper Seals are available in several styles to keep contaminants from entering the pneumatic cylinder. Besides direct wear to the rod seal, external contamination, if allowed to enter a pneumatic system, can have disastrous consequences. Contaminated fluid can quickly wear out seals, clog filters, and damage machined surfaces.

The pneumatic seal is mainly used to contain fluids such as compressed air and gas. The function of a piston seal is to prevent fluid bypass between the piston head (static) and cylinder bore (dynamic) while a pneumatic cylinder operates under various operating conditions.

Rod Seals, also known as Gland Seals, Headbush or Neck Seals are an integral part of any pneumatic cylinder system. Essentially, they are designed to seal between a cylinder's rod and gland. Pneumatic rod seals help prevent fluid leakage in hydraulic cylinders at the rod gland.

By type, Pneumatic Piston Seals segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.

Application Overview:

Pneumatic seals are widely used in the marine industry as having a watertight seal in marine conditions is essential for nearly every maritime operation.

Industrial applications that include reciprocating and rotary motions require the use of pneumatic cylinders and valves. These cylinders/ valves need specialized pneumatic seals in order to function properly. Known for considerably lower friction than rubber and higher durability, these seals are used across various heavy industry applications.

The automotive industry is one of the major consumers of pneumatic seals. In automobiles, pneumatic seals are used in a variety of applications such as in power steering systems, transmissions, and shock absorbers. Pneumatic seals are also used in other automotive applications such as indoor locks, seat adjusters, fuel injectors, and anti-lock brakes.

By application, the Heavy Industry segment occupied the biggest share from 2017 to 2022.
