Market Driver

The mechanical seals market is witnessing an emerging trend towards additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology. In contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, AM builds a 3D object from a digital model by successively adding material layers. This technique offers advantages such as high part strength, low manufacturing costs, and a high-quality surface finish without the need for heat treatment and polishing. Flowserve, a leading player in the market, collaborated with Trident Alloys Inc. To manufacture 3D-printed mechanical seals, reducing turnaround time by up to 75% with the help of RAM systems. By designing 3D molds with necessary copies, drags, cores, and gating systems, manufacturers ensure a high-quality 3D-printed mechanical seal. A full simulation is conducted before printing to prevent potential issues, leading to a significant impact on the global mechanical seals market growth during the forecast period. 

The Mechanical Seals market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for leakage control devices in rotating equipment such as mixers, pumps for liquids and gases, and refineries. With a focus on the environment, mechanical seals are essential in controlling external contaminations and reducing environmental emissions. Seals are used in various systems and circuits, including those that handle high pressure and extreme temperatures. Traditional contact seals, dry seals, and gas-lubricated seals made of carbon, silicon carbide, and self-lubricating materials like polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane, industrial rubber, and fluorosilicone are in high demand. Cartridge seals and conventional seals are widely used in machine tool industry, transportation, metals and mining, food and beverage, oil and gas, energy and power, aerospace, and marine industries. The energy efficiency and frictional properties of mechanical seals are crucial in powering machinery and reducing power consumption.
