The engineered fluids market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the implementation of e-government initiatives, the recovery of global travel, heightened cybersecurity measures, the integration of blockchain technology, and advancements in data privacy. Prominent trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration with mobile technologies, ongoing technological progress, the adoption of contactless and RFID technology, the digitalization of identity documents, and the integration of mobile applications.

The growth of the engineered fluids market in the foreseeable future is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for these fluids in the aerospace industry. The aerospace industry encompasses activities related to the design, development, manufacturing, testing, operation, and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. Engineered fluids play a crucial role in aerospace applications, particularly in aircraft thermal management, ensuring precise temperature control in challenging conditions. As an illustration, in September 2023, the Aerospace Industries Association reported that the American aerospace and defense industry achieved total sales of $952 billion in 2022, marking a 6.7% increase from the previous year. The industry's economic value amounted to $418 billion, contributing 1.65% to the total nominal GDP of the United States, reflecting an almost 7% growth compared to the previous year. Hence, the rising demand for engineered fluids in the aerospace industry acts as a significant driver for the market.

The growing demand for consumer electronics is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the engineered fluids market. Consumer electronics encompass personal use gadgets and devices designed for entertainment and daily convenience. Engineered fluids are essential in consumer electronics for functions such as cooling and thermal management, contributing to improved device performance and reliability. For example, data from the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association revealed that the total electronic equipment production in Japan reached $52,36,535 million (¥771,457 million) in May 2023. Additionally, consumer electronics production increased from $1.71 trillion (¥25,268 million) in May 2022 to $2.17 trillion (¥32,099 million) in May 2023. This growth underscores the significant role of engineered fluids in meeting the demands of the consumer electronics sector, thereby propelling the engineered fluids market.

The anticipated restraint on the engineered fluids market is attributed to the high initial investment costs associated with data center cooling solutions. The implementation of cooling systems in data centers utilizing engineered fluids often involves a substantial capital expenditure, encompassing the acquisition and installation of components such as heat exchangers, pumps, storage tanks, and other infrastructure. As an example, Delta Cooling Towers Inc., a US-based industrial cooling tower manufacturer, highlighted the cost of cooling tower replacement ranging from $10 thousand to $2 million in January 2022. Consequently, the elevated initial investment costs for data center cooling solutions act as a hindrance to the engineered fluids market.

Prominent companies engaged in the engineered fluids market are increasingly focusing on introducing advanced thermal fluids to enhance their competitive position. Advanced thermal fluids are specialized substances designed for efficient heat transfer and management in electric bikes. For instance, in June 2021, Castrol Limited, a UK-based oil company, launched Castrol ON, a range of advanced e-fluids comprising e-greases, e-thermal fluids, and e-transmission fluids. These fluids are specifically engineered to enhance the performance of electric vehicles compared to water-glycol indirect coolants, catering to consumer expectations for reliable, safe, and efficient electric vehicle operation.

In October 2022, PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad, a Malaysia-based chemical company, completed the acquisition of Perstorp AB for $1.5 billion. The strategic acquisition is anticipated to facilitate the expansion of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad's specialty chemicals portfolio and reinforce its position in the specialty chemicals industry. Perstorp AB, based in Sweden, is a chemical company offering a diverse range of products, including synthetic lubricants and engineered fluids.
