Metalworking fluid is a formulation that is used to enhance the efficiency of machining tools during various operations such as drilling and grinding. These fluids are highly stable at high and low temperature and also have excellent chemical resistance property. Metalworking fluids help in reducing the heat in machining tools, and eliminate the small metal chips produced during grinding and cutting of metal pieces.

Global metalworking fluids market was valued at US$ 1080.00 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

Drivers

Increasing production of automobiles is primarily fueling the market growth of metalworking fluids. Metalworking fluids are widely used as coolants across metal treating, metal removal, metal forming, and metal protecting in metalworking application. Hence, growth in the production of the automobiles is expected to foster the market growth of the metalworking fluids.

Increasing demand for automobiles in U.S. is expected to augment growth of the metalworking fluids market over the forecast period. Emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, and Russia are witnessing significant growth in automotive and transportation services, specially manufacturing sectors. The increasing production of vehicles is the major factor driving demand for metalworking fluids. Besides automotive industries, aerospace, railways, marine, and defense industries are also contributing to the growth of global metalworking fluids market.

The global economy has suffered a negative impact during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It has hit major industrial hubs of the world, which has resulted in supply chain disruptions and production halts. Manufacturing and industrial production in many countries witnessed sharpest declines. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been hit hard globally. This reduced demand for metalworking fluids during the pandemic.
