North America Corrugated Metal Flexible Hoses Market

Corrugated Metal Flexible Hoses by Type Insights

By type, North America corrugated metal flexible hoses market was segmented into Braided Metal Hoses (Stainless Steel Braided Hoses, Others Alloy Braided Hoses), Non-Braided Metal Hoses (Stainless Steel Non-Braided Hoses, Other Alloy Non-Braided Hoses). The Braided Metal Hoses segment dominated the North America market in 2024, while Braided Metal Hoses segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. Braided metal hoses, characterized by a corrugated metal inner core reinforced with an external metal braid, are integral components in various high-pressure applications, including steam, gas, and hydraulic systems. The external braid enhances the hose's strength, flexibility, and pressure resistance while maintaining its inherent flexibility. 

The expansion of industrial infrastructure has significantly boosted the demand for braided hoses. Industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and chemicals rely heavily on these hoses for efficient fluid and gas transfer. The growth in the automotive and transportation sectors has further propelled the braided hoses market. These hoses are essential in vehicles for functions like fuel delivery and hydraulic systems, contributing to their increased adoption. In July 2021, NORRES Schlauchtechnik GmbH acquired Baggerman Group, a manufacturer and distributor of industrial hoses, couplings, and accessories, to expand its global reach and increase its market share.
