by The mechanical pump seals market, owing to its advantages such as resistance to corrosion and abrasion, is gaining prominence across industries. Mechanical pump seals are used as static seals between static and dynamic machine parts, preventing leakage across a clear static gap. Power generation and oil & gas industries primarily use mechanical shaft seals for sealing purposes on process pumps. These seals have a long service life and require less maintenance.
The Global Mechanical Pump Seals Market Share is estimated to be valued at US$ 4075.25 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2030.
Mechanical pump seals find wide application across industries where pumping of fluids is required. Industries such as oil & gas, power generation, marine, chemical processing etc. rely heavily on process pumps to transport fluids for various operations. Mechanical pump seals provide an effective sealing solution for pumps against leakages, thereby ensuring smooth functioning. Rising production in oilfields and recovery of shale gas in regions such as North America is anticipated to boost the demand for process pumps fitted with mechanical seals.
