The increasing need for energy conservation is expected to drive the overall HTFs market
The HTFs market is driven by various factors such as high demand from the chemical industry, increasing the need for energy conservation, and high performance of HTFs. However, fire and explosion hazards associated with the use of HTFs can hinder the growth of the market.
The synthetic fluids segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period
Synthetic fluids are the fastest-growing segment of the HTFs market, by type. Synthetic fluids provide maximized oxidation resistance with minimized deposits, and they possess higher thermal stability, superior radiation resistance, and better durable properties compared to other types. They also provide enhanced lubricity at different temperatures. The glycols segment is also expected to grow during the forecast period due to its odorless property and high performance.
The chemical end-use industry is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period
The chemical industry involves various manufacturing processes that require maintaining specific temperatures during the processes. This specific temperature is achieved by using HTFs. HTFs are also used as an indirect heating source for various processes such as liquid and polymer treatments, drying and heating of bulk materials, energy recovery, low-pressure cogeneration, pipeline tracing, and gas processing. They provide enhanced system efficiency and optimized energy costs. The global demand for chemicals is increasing owing to increasing population, urbanization, and industrialization. This is expected to boost the chemical industry, which in turn, is likely to drive the HTFs market.
APAC is expected to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period
APAC is expected to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period, due to the increased need for energy conservation, population, and urbanization. The increasing developments related to chemical, automotive, oil & gas, CSP, bio-diesel production, and HVAC & refrigeration industries in China, India, Japan, and South Korea provide huge opportunities for the HTFs market. North America is projected to be the second-largest market during the forecast period.
