Asia-Pacific Hoses Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increasing adoption of polymer hoses

In recent days, industrial hoses of polymer material is becoming prominent in automotive, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, oil and gas, food and beverages, mining, water, agriculture & other industries for manufacturing and using tubes and pipes for the transportation of air, water, chemicals, fluids from one end to another.

The demand is getting increased day by day owing to their wide range of applications, such as air, abrasive products, mineral oils, water, technical and domestic gases, steam, fuels, and others. Technological development is helping industrial hoses product supplement the growth of the market.

• Increasing need for durable hoses in critical applications

The application of industrial hoses includes moving fluids, chemicals, air, water, oil, and other materials from one place to another. There is a significant demand for robust industrial hoses in the market in crucial applications such as high temperature, high pressure, chemical reaction, and vacuum.

Before choosing the hoses, the customers must consider a number of important criteria, including catastrophic failure, permeability, chemical compatibility, temperature, external environment, vacuum, and others. The major players in the Asia-Pacific hoses market are releasing cutting-edge products for mission-critical uses, which is fuelling the demand for durable hoses in the industry.

Opportunity

• Growing adoption of hoses in automobiles sectors

Automobiles consist of complex internal structures and systems with various components intact. The integration of these systems and components allows the automobile to operate as an efficient machine. In automobiles, hoses play an important role as it is used as an engine cooling system, in a brake oil carrier, as a fuel carrier, in air conditioning, and in other parts of the vehicle. In the design of an engine cooling system, hoses of various types are used for coolant circulation. These hoses are of different material properties as some are designed to withstand the heat of coolant, whereas others can take just cold coolant. This increases the importance of hoses in automobiles, and the growth of the Asia-Pacific hoses market is directly affected by the growth of the automobile industry. As the automobile sector in the EV industry is showing enormous growth over the years owing to rising demand for vehicles and electric vehicles, this is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market.

Restraint/Challenge

• Limitations of hoses in various applications

An industrial hose is extensively used across various industries for optimum operating efficiency and transfer of fuel, chemicals, bulk materials, and air, among others. Although the industrial applications of industrial hoses continue to expand, the end users are increasingly focusing on the efficiency levels of industrial hoses. However, industrial hoses pose various challenges in various system environments, such as temperature range, and this results in hampering the overall performance and efficiency of the system. The characteristic limitation of industrial hoses is expected to hamper the growth of the Asia-Pacific hoses market. Many end users and businesses tend towards alternatives to hoses due to their limitations.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Hoses Market

The hoses industry noted a gradual decrease in demand due to the lockdown and COVID-19 governmental laws, as manufacturing facilities and services were closed. Even private and public development was called off. Moreover, the industry was also affected by the halt of the supply chain, especially of raw materials used in the manufacturing process of industrial hoses. Stringent government regulations for different industries and restrictions on trade & transportation were some of the top factors that caused a dent in the growth of the market for industrial hoses around the world in 2020 and in the first two quarters of 2021. As industrial hose production slowed down owing to the restrictions by governments across the globe, the production was not meeting the demand in the first three quarters of 2020. Moreover, high demand/requirement for industrial hose products in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in the agriculture sector, and in hydraulics applications has been witnessed. The resuming production of the oil and gas industry and automotive; further fuelled the rising demand for industrial hoses across the globe. Thus, this not only led to a hike in demand but also increased the cost of the product.
