Global Industrial Coolants Market, By Type (Green Anti-freeze Coolants, HOAT Anti-freeze Coolants, and OAT Anti-freeze Coolants), By Product (Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol), , By Application (Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Chemicals, Electronics, and Others), and By Region (North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting (2016-2028)

Industrial Coolants Market is expected to promise high growth owing to increasing growth in the production of electric vehicles in recent years. Increasing demand from applications including power generation, oil & gas, automotive, chemicals, electronics, and others is expected to drive the growth of the market.

Coolants are used for transferring heat from any device to prevent overheating. The coolant flow is passed around or through devices for heat dissipation, which is produced by the device into the exterior environment. Industrial coolants absorb heat from machines or engines and dissipate it by means of a radiator. Industrial coolants are commonly known as antifreeze liquids. This coolant is made by a mixture of propylene or ethylene glycol with water in different proportions. Industrial coolants possess many properties, such as low viscosity, high thermal capacity, non-toxicity, low-cost, and chemical inertness. Water is the most common coolant. The main advantage of water as a coolant is its high heat-absorbing capacity and low cost. It is commonly used with additives such as corrosion inhibitors and antifreeze.

Segment Insights

The global industrial coolants market has been classified on the basis of type, product, grade, and application. Based on type, the industrial coolant market has been segmented into green anti-freeze coolants, HOAT anti-freeze coolants, and OAT anti-freeze coolants. Green anti-freeze coolants are mostly used in industries due to their protection to bare iron surfaces and aluminum parts of the machinery. Green anti-freeze coolants contain phosphate and silicate additives. HOAT anti-freeze coolants are hybrid OAT.  HOAT anti-freeze coolants contain organic acids. This type of coolant is used for all types of vehicles. OAT stands for Organic Acid Technology. This coolant contains 2-EHA, sebacate, and other various organic acids and has wide applications across verticals.

The global industrial coolants market is expected to witness high demand due to applications of industrial coolants in various industries such as power generation, oil & gas, automotive, chemicals, electronics, and aerospace & defense. The market for industrial coolants in the Asia Pacific is estimated to expand at a high pace due to rapid industrialization and expansion of the economy in the region.
