According to the latest report by IMARC Group "Functional Fluids Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027", The global functional fluids market size reached US$ 41.6 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 56.2 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.07% during 2022-2027. Functional fluid refers to lubricants used to insulate and lubricate mechanical devices, such as compressors, engines, turbines, refrigeration systems, and hydraulic and braking systems. It includes engine oils, metalworking, heat transfer, transmission, and hydraulic fluids. It exhibits properties, such as low compressibility ratio, high viscosity index, thermal and hydraulic stability, high boiling and low freezing point, corrosion prevention, and high oxidation resistance. It helps protect equipment by minimizing wear and tear of components due to friction, enhancing temperature control, reducing downtime and cost, efficiency and reliability, and promoting smoother operation and longer shelf life. As a result, functional fluids find extensive applications across automotive, aerospace, metals and mining, transportation, and construction industries.
