Carrier fluids are high performance fluids that improve the
transportation of certain materials such as automotive detergent, sand pack,
and lubricants. Carrier fluids possess low VOC content and are biodegradable.
Additionally, they possess excellent flow ability, low toxicity, and
compatibility with other fluid components in comparison to conventional
solvents. Other characteristic features of these fluids are low temperature
properties, good solvency, and high burn characteristics. These fluids are used
in various industries such as automotive, oil & gas, petrochemicals, metal
working, and semiconductor. These fluids are widely employed in the
semiconductor industry during synthesis of a wide variety of ferrofluids
typically required during the manufacture of computers, tablets, and wafers.
Carrier fluids are used in oil drilling operations, particularly during the
installation of gravel pack and shale gas production. They are further used in
automotive during engine oil filling operation.
Based on
type, the global
carrier fluids market can be divided into oil type, synthetic, and
water. Water based carrier fluids are widely employed in the transportation of
highly viscous fluids, while oil based are employed for water sensitive
formulations. Demand for water based carrier fluids is expected to rise
significantly during the forecast period, as they are cost effective and
biodegradable. Based on formulation, the market can be segmented into various
types such as mineral oil, polyglycol, fatty acids, diesters, and phthalate
esters. Polyglycol type of carrier fluids have high water absorption capacity;
however, these have poor viscosity, lubricity, wettability, and corrosion
protection. Mineral oil based carrier fluids are available in low or high range
of viscosities and have better properties than polyglycol. Diester and
phthalate are popular types of carrier fluids available in the market. Demand
for diester and phthalate is anticipated to rise significantly in the near
future due to their characteristic features such as eco-friendliness, good
solvency, and low ecotoxicity.

Rise in
stringent regulations on certain solvents due to the risk of high VOC emission
and environmentally sustainable benefits of carrier fluids are the primary
factors driving the market. Apart from benefits associated with carrier fluids,
growth in automotive and electronic industries and constant research activities
in the oil & gas industry are the other factors responsible for the market
growth. Fluctuation in raw material prices and maintenance of rheological
characteristics of carrier fluids are few of the challenges for manufacturers.
However, continuous efforts toward development of varied formulations of
carrier fluids with improved features and performance may create opportunities for
manufacturers.

Geographically,
the global market for carrier fluids can be segregated into Asia Pacific,
Europe, North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In terms of
consumption, North America is the leading region due to the rise in oil &
gas exploration activities such as deep water exploration for oil drilling. In
Asia Pacific, countries such as India, China, and Japan are experiencing swift
growth due to the expansion in automotive and electronic industries. For
instance, China has become the hub of semiconductor production since the last
few years. Strong government initiatives led to high tech research &
development in the field of high quality wafers. This further resulted in an
increase in investment in integrated circuits from 40% to 70%. Furthermore,
strong FDI investment in India, typically in the electronic industry, and
rising consumer awareness are also encouraging manufacturers to opt for quality
products. Companies are following the strategy of merger & acquisition for
producing innovative products. These factors are driving the market for carrier
fluids in Asia Pacific. Growth of the market in Europe is expected remain
stable due to revival in economy of the region. The market in Middle East &
Africa and Latin America is expected to expand moderately due to the rise in
investment by various automotive and electronic manufacturers in these regions.
