Magneto Rheological (MR) Fluid Market is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period 2018-2023. Magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) is a smart fluid used as a carrier fluid, which increases its viscosity in the presence of a magnetic field. The MR fluid consists of micro and nano-sized magnetized iron particles suspended in a base fluid. The fluid can be used to design devices for different applications such as in the automotive sector, it is extensively used braking and clutching system. Major advantages of MR fluid include easy controllability, direct interface with electronics, easy construction of devices, and power efficiency and quick response.
MR fluid has varied application in the automotive sector. It can be used in shock absorbers, dampers, and brakes in a vehicle. Major automotive companies such as General Motors, Chevrolet, Porsche, Acura, Audi has used MR fluid in their models. Moreover, the MR fluid has increasingly being used in civil infrastructure and household appliances. Major factors that are hampering the growth of the MR fluid market includes availability of limited commercial products and the high cost of high-quality MR fluid products. Lack of consumer awareness regarding the benefits of MR fluids, which includes its longevity, can be considered as another major threat acting in the growth of the market. However, the MR fluid is finding application in several military applications such as damper of military vehicles, bulletproof jackets, which is act as an opportunity for the growth of the market in the near future. There are several research projects being carried out to find the effectiveness of MR fluid as a protective element against earthquake in the building. Furthermore, the high investment made by the key players and research institute in the R&D of MR fluid further regarded as a major factor in the growth of the global MR fluid market in future.
Geographically, the MR fluid market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (Row). Developed economies of North America and Europe such as the US, the UK, Germany, France are expected to have a major market of MR fluid during the forecast period. Emerging economies of Asia-Pacific such as India and China are expected to have a significant market in the region, owing to the expected commercialization of MR products in the near future.
Major companies contributing in the global MR fluid market includes ArProDEC, Ioniqa Technologies, Kolektor Group, QED Technologies International, Inc., Modern Industries, Inc., Advanced Materials and Devices, Inc., and ACDelco, among others. Product launch, merger & acquisition, and partnerships are some of the key strategies adopted by the market players to stay competitive in the global MR fluid market.
