Axial and Radial Seal Market

Market Overview

Axial and Radial Seal are a revolutionary product which enhanced the safety of equipment and various other products. Axial and Radial Seal are a type of static seals are used when there is no motion between the malting surfaces. Radial seal, a type of static seal is stuffed between the inner and outer surfaces of the O-ring. This seal is commonly used in the cap and plug type applications.

The radial seal is recyclable and reusable which is strengthening its market against the other forms of the seal. On the other hand, an axial seal is similar to a gasket; it is squeezed on both the top and bottom of the O-ring's cross section. The axial seal is commonly used in the face (flange) type applications. The function of an axial seal is to protect bearings from contamination since it works on a rotating or stationary shaft.

Axial seals are easy to design as compared to radial seals, due to no extrusion gap in axial seals, fewer design steps, and easily controllable tolerances. Both axial and radial seals are used in various industries such as the automobile, aerospace, and defense, petrochemicals, electrical & electronics and others. Due to its versatile benefits and vast usage, Axial and Radial Seal market is expected to witness an escalating demand among the industries.

Axial and Radial Seal: Market Dynamics

Axial and Radial Seal market is mainly driven by the increasing demand in the industrial process due to damages, wear and tear of products and machines during manufacturing, transportation and use. Many new applications are springing in the market every day which requires Axial and Radial Seal because of its properties such as shape resistant, heat & cold resistant, moisture resistant, provide high tensile strength and many more.

Currently, Axial and Radial Seal has found application in automobiles, aerospace, and defense, petrochemicals, electrical & electronics and other sectors. Radial seals are usually installed in piston, cap, bore and plug type applications. Axial and Radial Seal will witness a rise in the demand because of its numerous use, especially in automobile and machinery.

Factor that fuels up the growth of the Axial and Radial Seal market is that the affordable price of Axial and Radial Seal because of cheap production cost and advanced technology. Axial and Radial Seal market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to its versatile benefits.

However, Axial and Radial Seal comes along with some restraints. Axial and Radial Seal is purely dependent on the type of material used for production which can increase product cost and decrease the quality of product. Many China based companies are producing low quality seals due to which the market is flooded with cheap products which has lower average life as compared to good quality seals.

Seals holds a major function in any machine and any breakage or wear and tear can disturb the functioning of machine. The commercial scale use of Axial and Radial Seal needs to be reviewed carefully because a slight change in the quality of material used can alter the quality of product.

Axial and Radial Seal is facing low-cost issues. Rising prices of raw materials and stagnant price of Axial and Radial Seal is squeezing the profits of manufacturers who are now looking to raise the price of the product. 

Component manufacturers have an opportunity in the production of Axial and Radial Seal from advanced materials which is the upcoming trend in the market. This product can further increase applications and help further growth of the market.
