The heat transfer fluids market is estimated at USD 2.61 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 3.64 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2017 to 2022. The heat transfer fluids market is expected to be driven by the increasing need for primary energy and growing manufacturing sector in emerging and developed countries.

On the basis of type, the heat transfer fluids market has been segmented into mineral oils, aromatics & silicones, glycols, and others. Mineral oils is the largest type of heat transfer fluid due to its high demand in chemical processing and petrochemical end-use industries, in terms of volume. Moreover, it is also preferred over other types due to its low price. Silicones & aromatics is the highest growing type segment and is expected to lead the market in terms of value between 2017 and 2022. These fluids resist coking and thermal degradation, and help reduce system deposits arising out of oxidation and hence extend service life. They have excellent heat transfer properties and exceptional low temperature fluidity and thermal stability.

On the basis of end-use industry, the heat transfer fluids market has been classified into chemical processing, oil & gas, automotive, food & beverage, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, and others. Chemical processing is the largest end-use industry, owing to the high demand for all types of heat transfer fluids including, mineral oils, silicones & aromatics, glycols, and others. Moreover, growth in the production of basic chemicals, plastic production, and specialty chemicals across the globe has increased the usage of heat transfer fluids in chemical processing in order to improve efficiency in heat transfer.

Renewable energy is the fastest-growing end-use industry owing to the increasing demand for heat transfer fluids in concentrated solar power projects that are increasing due to the growing environmental awareness.

Based on region, the heat transfer fluids market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. The Asia Pacific heat transfer fluids market is the largest and fastest-growing market in terms of volume, owing to the growing chemical market and increasing investments in chemical manufacturing units in this region. Moreover, countries such as China and India are growing at high rates. Thus, the growing chemical industry in this region is expected to lead to an increasing demand for heat transfer fluids during the forecast period.

The key restraining factor in the heat transfer fluids market is the fire and explosion hazard. Companies such as, Dow (US), Eastman (US), Exxon Mobil (US), Chevron (US), Paratherm (US), BASF (Germany), Lanxess (Germany), Huntsman (US), and Global Heat Transfer(US), are engaged in mergers & acquisitions and investments & expansions to enhance their foothold in the market.
