The market for fire resistant hydraulic fluids is driven by the stringent regulations regarding the use of flammable hydraulic fluids across industries.

Market Driver - Growing oil and gas industry

The global oil and gas industry has witnessed robust growth over the past few decades on account of rising energy demand from major developing economies such as China and India. According to various industry estimates in 2023, the demand for crude oil is projected to grow by over 10% in the next 5 years led by rapid industrialization and rising vehicle ownership rates in Asia Pacific and Latin America. This sustained growth in the oil and gas sector has significantly pushed up exploration and production activities around the world. Oil and natural gas exploration and production is considered to be one of the most hazardous industrial operations due to risk of fires and explosion from leaking gases and flammable liquids. To minimize these risks, oil and gas operators are increasingly relying on fire resistant hydraulic fluids in their rigs, pumps, and machinery used in drilling, extraction, and processing activities. Compared to conventional hydraulic fluids, fire resistant fluids demonstrate superior thermal stability and do not catch fire even when exposed to high ambient temperatures. Their use helps increase safety of operations on rig sites and production facilities located in remote areas. With substantial capital continuing to flow into the upstream segment for developing new oil and gas reserves globally, demand for these specialized fluids is expected to grow at a commendable rate. Major hydraulic fluid manufacturers have strengthened their product portfolio and distribution networks catering to requirements of leading exploration and national oil companies. This growing importance of safety and risk mitigation in the capital-intensive industry will drive further market opportunities.
