The global metalworking fluids market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 4.0% during the forecast period. Growing demand for metalworking fluids from transportation and automotive industry is the key factor driving the market growth. Metalworking fluids are widely used by automotive manufacturers due to production of various automotive parts and equipment. Emerging economies like India, China, Brazil, and Russia have seen significant growth in the automotive and transportation industries, particularly in the manufacturing sectors. The main factor influencing demand for these products is the increased production of vehicles. Aside from the automotive industry, the aerospace, railway, marine, and defence industries are all contributing to the expansion of metalworking fluids market. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), by 2026, the Indian automotive industry is projected to be worth Rs. 16.16-18.18 trillion ($ 251.4-282.8 billion).

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Metalworking Fluids Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had disrupted the manufacturing operations of various industries across the globe, which had drastically created demand-supply gap. The automotive industry and other industries halted their production activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to labour unavailablity,  slow down in logistics and supply chain disruptions has reduced the demand of metalworking fuids. Therefore, the demand for metalworking fluid was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the COVID-19 situation normalizes, the metalworking fluids market started recovery as industrial operations were normalized after the recovery.

Segmental Outlook 

The global metalworking fluids market is segmented based on the type and application. Based on the type, the market is segmented into water-soluble oils, semi-synthetic fluids and synthetic fluids. Among these, synthetic fluid holds the highest share in the makret. Since they are water-based, they also typically contain corrosion inhibitors as well as biocides to hinder the growth of bacteria. Which drives their high demand in manufacturing sector. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into the transport equipment, machinery, metal fabrication and others..

The Machinery Segment Holds the Major Share in the Global Metalworking Fluids Market

Based on the application, it is expected that machinery segment will have considerable contribution in the growth of the global metalworking fluids market. Growing demand of heavy machineries will propel the growth of this segment. The continuous production causes the machinery to heat up. Coolants are used to keep machine parts cool. Corrosion prevention is also necessary for smooth functioning. Metalworking fluids, forming a protective layer prevents seasonal and bimetallic corrosion. Metalworking fluids will be in high demand as heavy machinery is used in automotive. 

Regional Outlooks

The global metalworking fluids market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).  

Global Metalworking Fluids Market Growth, by Region 2021-2027

Global Metalworking Fluids Market Growth, by Region

The Asia-Pacific Region Dispalyed the Fastest Growth in the Global Metalworking Fluids Market

It is anticipated that the Asia-Pacific region will grow at the fastest CAGR in the global metalworking fluids market, primarily as a result of increased demand from the agricultural and construction sectors. China and India have a significant market share not only in the region, but also globally, and India’s automotive sector is expected to grow at the fastest rate in upcoming years. Growing industrialization and economic development in India are propelling  heavy machinery industry growth. Metalworking fluids are widely used in the production of heavy machinery and equipment. As a result of the increased demand for such machinery, the demand for metalworking fluids  is expected to rise in the region, during  anticipated timeframe. High growth in the base oil market, rapid industrialization, and urbanisation are some other factors driving the market growth.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global Metalworking Fluids market include BP International Ltd., Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil, FUCHS Petrolub SE, Houghton International Electrical Services Ltd, Blaser Swisslube AG, PETRONAS Lubricants International , Total Energies SE, Kluber Lubrication India Pvt. Ltd. and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, Master Fluid Solutions  acquired Wilhelm Dietz GmbH to expand its global footprint and to gain manufacturing capabilities in mainland Europe to fulfill the demand for metalworking fluids from manufacturing sector. The acquisition also enabled Master Fluid Solution to add new services and capabilities to its industry-leading product line.
