Market Overview
Metalworking fluids are the lubricating liquids or oils which facilitate smooth and easy processing of metal work-pieces. They prevent the heat generation and excessive friction between cutting tools and the work-piece when a metal undergoes various mechanical processes such as machining, grounding, and milling, among others. Moreover, the metalworking fluids improve the quality and add into the fineness of the end product by removing the fines, chips, and the small pieces of metal. The major applications of these fluids are removal, forming, cutting, treating fluids, and protection. Transportation & automotive, industrial machinery, metal fabrication, and construction are the major end-user industries for the Metalworking Fluid Market. The rapid industrialization of emerging economies, continuously growing automotive industry, and increasing constriction activities around the world are the major actors favoring the growth of this market.
Market Segmentation
The global metalworking fluids market has been segmented into fluid type, application, and region.
On the basis of fluid type, the market is divided into straight oils, soluble oils, synthetic oils, semi-synthetic oils, and others. Straight oils are directly used in metalworking operations. It includes mineral or petroleum oil, animal oil with severe treatment. Straight oils are not diluted with water but other additives may be present. On the other hand, soluble oils contain 30 to 85 percent severely refined petroleum oils, as well as emulsifiers to disperse the oil in water. The synthetic and semi-synthetic oils have varying percentages of refined petroleum oils, water, and additives. Among these fluid types, the straight oils segment is holding a major share of the market owing to easy availability and greater operation ability.
Based on application the global metalworking fluids market is segmented into transportation equipment, industrial machinery, automotive, construction, metal fabrication, and others. The transportation equipment is the largest segment of others. This is attributed to the raid growth of transportation sector on the backdrop of expanding global trade and emerging means of transport. The emerging economies in Asia & Africa are performing well on this front by gradually upgrading their modes of transportation.
Regional Analysis
The global metalworking fluids market is geographically spanned across five key regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is the largest region among them owing to the increasing industrialization and growing automotive industry along with the construction sector in this region.
