Increased Vehicle Component Life to Encourage Metalworking Fluids Market Growth

Pune, India, August 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Metalworking Fluids Market.

Market Overview

Metalworking Fluids Market Size was valued at USD 12.21 Billion in 2022. The Metalworking Fluids industry is projected to grow from USD 13.16 Billion in 2023 to USD 19.87 Billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.28% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030).

Metalworking fluids help to elevate a vehicle’s component life by maintaining lubrication, reducing thermal & physical deformation, and minimizing wear. It also delivers excellent surface texture and finish in cutting and welding zone. Soaring consumer spending towards vehicle modifications is likely to augment the product demand by the end of the forecast period. Metalworking fluids also assist in lubricating cutting tool edge, which offers a cleaner cut besides improving the overall work hours of the tool. Such factors are estimated to encourage the market growth in the coming years.

Metalworking fluids play a vital role in the automobile industry due to its ability to offer top-notch surface finish and reduce friction between tool and workpiece. It is extensively used in the heavy machinery industry, which is experiencing significant growth, especially in emerging nations like Brazil, China, India, Russia, and other Southeast Asian nations.

On the contrary, increased dumping of hazardous waste has resulted in several environmental issues, thereby contributing to natural resource pollution. This is a major concern likely to retard the market growth across the globe. Health risks to workers arising from microorganisms and chemicals in metalworking fluids will pose a great threat to the overall market.

Global Metalworking Fluids Market: Segmental Analysis

The global metalworking fluids market has been segmented on the basis of fluid type and application.
