Market Overview:
The global flexible graphite seal material market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for flexible graphite seal material from various end-use industries such as automotive, general industrial packing, corrosion resistant seals and others. Based on type, the global flexible graphite seal material market has been segmented into plain graphite type and stainless steel flexible graphite type. The plain graphite type segment is expected to account for a major share of the global market in 2018.
Product Definition:
A flexible graphite seal material is a material used to form a seal between two objects. The importance of a flexible graphite seal material is that it can withstand high temperatures and pressures without breaking or leaking.
Plain Graphite Type:
Plain graphite type is also known as basic or natural graphite. It occurs in nature as a by-product of coal combustion and has an average composition of graphene. The global production of plain graphite is very limited, with the majority produced in South Africa and a few mines producing it in China, Brazil, Russia and India on account of its high demand from various industries including automotive & transportation, chemical processing industry etc.
Stainless Steel Flexible Graphite Type:
Stainless steel flexible graphite type is a new material, which has been developed by DuPont for application in the seal industry. It is an alloy of stainless steel and graphite. The product was patented by DuPont in the U.S., on October 6, 1996, under Patent No. 5963027 A (also known as “the'”).
The product finds applications in various industries including food & beverage.
Application Insights:
Automotive gasketing application segment accounted for the largest share of over 30% in 2017. This is attributed to its excellent thermal and mechanical properties, which make it an ideal material for sealing applications in automotive industry. It has a low moisture absorption capacity as compared to other materials, but still it is used as a gasket on various components including engine block/pistons, transmission case/housing, oil pan and fuel tank.
General industrial packing application segment will expand at the fastest CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand from various industries including chemical processing plants, petrochemical units along with rising use of flexible graphite seals on heat exchangers & reactors due largely to their high corrosion resistance property when exposed against aggressive chemicals or fluids inside the equipment¢â‚¬â„¢s containment vessel or tanks respectively.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Growing automotive production in these countries coupled with growing construction industry has led to an increased demand for packing materials such as flexible graphite seal material in Asia Pacific region.
The Asia Pacific was followed by North America which accounted for a share of 22% of the total revenue generated globally on account of high product utilization across various applications including automotive Gasketing and General Industrial Packing.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for flexible graphite seal material in the automotive and aerospace industries due to its properties such as high thermal conductivity, low friction coefficient, and chemical resistance.
- Growing demand for flexible graphite seal material from the oil & gas industry due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments.
- Rising popularity of graphene-based flexible graphite seal materials owing to their superior thermal and electrical conductivity as well as mechanical strength.
- Increasing investments in research & development activities for developing innovative flexible graphite seal materials that can be used in a variety of applications.
