According to
the study “Asia Automotive Gasket and Seal Industry Situation
and Prospects Research Report”, advanced technology in automotive sector and the
increasing need for better fuel efficient parts and vehicle performance will
propel the market for gaskets and seals. Increasing use of gaskets and seals in
automotive industry has led to reduction in the maintenance cost of automobiles
and improved the lifespan of the automotive components. Majority of the
gaskets and seals manufacturers are focussing on improving fuel economy by
introducing lightweight, easy to assemble, heat resistant, pressure resistant
and improved quality products. Manufacturers are using metallic and
non-metallic materials such as metal, plastic polymer, fiber, silicon and
rubber. Therefore, it is predicted that
the gaskets and seals market
will witness the reign of metallic gasket over the next few years. Gaskets and seals are used in various
applications such as cooling applications, transmissions, engine, brakes, fuel
supply and batteries. Other types of gaskets and seals are cylinder head
gaskets, o-ring seals, valve stem seals, vent seals, plug in seals and rotary
seals. Gaskets and seals are used in automobiles that are compact, mid-sized,
premium, luxury, commercial, heavy commercial vehicles, and highway vehicles.
Gaskets and
seals are the chief components used in automobiles to prevent any fluid and gas
leakage. They help in filling the gap between the various automotive components
to ensuring zero leakage. Seals majorly prevent the automotive lubricants from
escaping the bearings and also avoid dust and other contaminants from entering
the automobile machinery. Advanced technology is involved in the manufacturing
of gaskets and seals that offer as an effective means to obtain better fuel
economy providing less repair and maintenance requirements. Gaskets and seals
helps in the improvement of the average life span of any automotive component.
Moreover, there are stringent regulations related to maximum limits on
emissions as incorporated by Asian automotive agencies that will surely drive
the gaskets and seals market. Silicone rubber is a lightweight material which
is the preferred
material used in the
making of gaskets and seals that will reduce the fuel cost and improve
automobile efficiency. Almost all the manufacturers in Asia are focusing on the
development of gaskets and seals materials that reduce the fuel requirement
which can also withstand high heat and pressure.
Gaskets and
seals market
in Asia is geographically spread across China, Japan, India, Korea, Saudi
Arabia and other regions. Dana Limited, Federal-Mogul Corporation, Trelleborg
AB, Datwyler, Elringklinger, SKF AB, Smiths Group plc, Victor Gaskets, Freudenberg
Sealing Technologies, KG and Flowserve Corporation are the leading vendors in Asian gaskets and seals market. The
major factors affecting gaskets and seals
market are consumer spending limit, consumers attracted towards low maintenance
vehicles, easy access to advanced technology, and awareness of modern
automobile components.
Original equipment
manufacturers (OME) are investing heavily in research and development to
manufacture better products in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and
develop superior quality automobile materials. Advanced technology in
automobiles has increased the complexities in engine design systems driving a
growing adoption of more advanced injection moulding systems. Seals
manufactured using moulding technique help in reducing friction and leakages
which is the major factor that will drive the growth of the automotive seals
and gaskets market over the next few years. There
is an increasing use of metallic gaskets and seals in other industries such as
oil and gas, pharmaceutical, electronics, and automobile that will continue
driving the growth of rubber gaskets and seals market. With the aforementioned
facts the demand for metallic gaskets and seals will continue in Asian automobiles
sector over the next few years.
