Thermic Fluids Market Size
Thermic Fluids Market size was estimated over USD 2.4 billion in 2017 and the industry will grow by a CAGR of more than 6.5% up to 2025. North America held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2018 and is expected to continue its lead status by 2025. Moreover, this region is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2025.
Steps taken by world community such as Paris agreement to combat climate change has increased the demand for solar energy across the globe and this will encourage thermal or thermic fluids market share over forecast timespan. Thermic fluids are used to improve the efficiency of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. Its inherent properties such as heat storage helps to increase the electricity generation capacity of plants.
Spain and U.S. are among the leading nations having large number of CSP projects and it is expected to increase owing to more investments pouring into this sector. Spain has formulated excellent policies to take the advantage of their resource. They have operational CSP plants with capacity of around 2.3GW in 2017 more than any other country across the globe. Asia Pacific is progressing in the development of CSP projects with growing number of plants in India and China. Other regions such as Middle East, South Africa, etc. are also showing development in CSP projects. The above-mentioned trends are expected to continue and will catapult the thermic fluids market trends in near future.
Ethylene & propylene glycol, mineral oil & aromatics based thermic fluids account for a significant market share in the global market. These fluids are dependent on crude oil as it is the basic raw material required for production. Volatility in prices of crude oil has a direct impact on the prices of the product and has been one of the major factors inhibiting the global thermic fluids market growth in future.
Thermic Fluids Market Analysis
Based on product, silicone & aromatics segment accounted for more than 45% share of the entire market in 2017. Silicone based fluids have lower operating cost as do not degrade, resulting in lesser replacement. They also have low viscosity which gives them superior heat transfer properties. These types of thermic fluids are extensively employed in technical applications such as chemical processing, pharmaceutical processing, oil & gas processing and in CSP plants.
Based on revenue, glycol based thermal fluid segment will show a CAGR of around 6% over the forecast timespan. Ethylene glycol-based fluids used for cooling & heating process as they are corrosion resistant, easily maintained and have replenishable characteristics. Low acute oral toxicity of thermal fluid is the essential feature required for food processing applications and processes where incidental contact with water is possible.
Thermic fluids market has wide end use applications across various sectors and among them pharmaceutical sector shows a growth rate of about 5.5% from 2018 to 2025. In pharmaceutical sector, thermal fluids are used in various operations such as batch processing of products. Thermal fluids can be used within wide operating range, as they eliminate the need of new fluid fills in various operations.
On the basis of consumption & production, the U.S. dominates pharmaceutical business around the globe. It had reached around USD 320 billion, representing more than 35% of global market in 2017. Rise in number of patients suffering from chronic diseases will result in more R&D activities to develop curing and prevention medicines & vaccines. This will boost pharmaceutical manufacturing, thus augmenting the thermic fluids market growth in coming years.
Based on revenue, North America shows a decent growth rate of about 5.5% from 2018 to 2025. This is due to presence of various end-use industries such as pharmaceutical, oil & gas, chemical, food & beverage, HVAC and others. Increasing production of shale oil & gas in the U.S. has shifted its tag from net importer to net exporter. Additionally, legislative decisions taken by new administration will boost oil & gas sector and enables growth of chemical industry as well. The above-mentioned trends will follow and will give an up thrust to thermic fluids industry in future.
