The forecast period is also expected to witness certain trends such as the incorporation with mobile technologies, persistent technological advancements, the use of contactless and rfid technology, the digital transformation of identity documents, and the development of mobile applications.
The engineered fluids market is predicted to expand due to the growing demand for these fluids in the aerospace sector. The aerospace field encompasses design, production, testing, operation, and maintenance of all aircraft, spacecraft, and their respective systems and equipment. Engineered fluids play a crucial role in the industry, especially in maintaining aircraft thermal management and adjusting temperature controls in harsh environments. To illustrate, the Aerospace Industries Association, located in the US, reported that the American aerospace and defense industry accumulated sales of $952 billion in 2022, marking a 6.7% rise from 2021. The industry also produced an economic value of $418 billion, which is 1.65% of the US nominal GDP, a difference of nearly 7% compared to the previous year. Hence, the surge in demand for engineered fluids in the aerospace industry is driving the market.

Top firms in the engineered fluids market are putting more emphasis on developing Synmerse DC, an immersion cooling fluid, to secure a dominant position in their industry. This fluid is crafted to dissipate heat powerfully by submerging electronic components into a thermally conductive liquid and thereby increases cooling efficiency in data centers and industrial uses. For instance, in October 2024, Synmerse DC, was launched by Perstorp a chemical company hailing from Sweden. The new immersive cooling fluid aligns with sustainability goals offering efficient cooling options, especially noting the increasing need for efficient thermal management in current technological surroundings.
