Rotary Seals Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The high demand for rotary seals in the water and wastewater industry is notably driving the rotary seals market growth, although factors such as frequent failures with rotary seals may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the rotary seals industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Rotary Seals Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global rotary seals market growth is the high demand for rotary seals in the water and wastewater industry. This can be attributed to the growing population, increased manufacturing activities, and rise in oil and gas production. The growing production activities in these manufacturing industries will require adherence to stringent environmental regulations and water conservation norms. To meet the rising demand, the governments of many countries have established new water treatment plants along with the replacement of old ones, resulting in increased demand for rotary seals. For instance, in December 2021, the EIB announced an investment of over USD 20 million in the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant in Mitrovica, Kosovo. The project will provide sanitation services to over 213,000 people. Therefore, with the growth of the water and wastewater industry in most major developing nations, there will be a huge demand for mechanical seals during the forecast period.
Key Rotary Seals Market Trend
Use of superior quality raw materials is one of the key rotary seals market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The rotary seals are designed for adverse environmental conditions and temperatures, ranging from -32degree F to 1,832 degrees F. Aluminum, Monel, and copper are also used as metal covers, while expanded graphite is used as a filler material. Currently, high-quality raw materials, such as rubber, silicone, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, cellulose fiber, glass fiber, and mineral fiber, are preferred for manufacturing non-metallic rotary seals as they have high tensile power, durability, stability, and resistance to chemicals and acids to extends the operational life of seals.
Key Rotary Seals Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global rotary seals market growth is the frequent failures with rotary seals. Rotary seals generally act as a barometer for the pump and help in its maintenance, enabling the operator to understand the condition of the pump on which the seal is installed. Thus, the operator must select the appropriate seal and should also verify that its installation is error-free. The following are some reasons that lead to the failure of rotary seals:
-
Allowing the pump to run dry - It can be very critical to a rotary seal, which might increase the wear and tear.
-
Vibration - The pump's vibration is generally caused by improper alignment, pump imbalance, or operating the pump below the best efficiency point (BEP).
-
Hammering couplings onto the shaft - Rotary seals are very fragile in nature; thus, pounding couplings onto the shaft will damage the mechanical seal.
-
Operator error - Skipping start-up procedures and errors in the installation are some major factors that will lead to mechanical failure.
This rotary seals market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
