Gasket and seals are largely used to seal the empty spaces between the coupling surfaces to avoid leakage and wastage of fluids and gas. They also help in maintaining the required pressure and avoid contamination from the external environmental condition. Gaskets are used to seal flanges that have a flat surface while seals are used to fill empty spaces between engine parts, pumps, and shafts that rotate. The gasket and seals have the property of withstanding high compressive loads. The most preferred material used for manufacturing gaskets and seals are silicone and rubber owing to their superior characteristics including high reliability, better strength, high flexibility, and resistance to high heat and pressure. The gasket and seals are widely used in aircraft engines, space systems, microelectronics, and automotive applications that require form-in-place sealing solutions with robotic accuracy. This is expected to drive the overall market over the forecast period.
The global gasket and seals market was estimated to be $ 60.7 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2020 to 2027.

The major factors that have impacted the growth of the gasket and seal market are increasing efforts for improving product efficiency and increasing demand from automotive industries for improving fuel efficiency, among others.
Increasing efforts for improving component efficiency
The leakages caused in various industrial equipments involve losses in the form of material and labor costs for repairing. It also affects the environment and the resources. The sales of the equipments are also adversely impacted due to the downtime caused by such leaking industrial equipment and leading to other malfunctions. The leakage may result in an industrial accident that can not only involve personal injury but can also lead to irreparable damage to the brand image of the concerned company. Thus, in order to avoid such situations, and to increase the overall efficiency of the industrial equipments, there is an increasing need for advanced sealing systems and components in order to aid the growth of manufacturing industries. This in turn is expected to drive the demand for seal and gasket in the market.
Increasing demand from automotive industries:
The increasing sales and technological advancements for improving the fuel efficiency of the vehicles is expected to contribute towards gasket and seal market growth. They are used in various automobile parts and assemblies to avert gas and fluid leakage by filling the space among automotive components. The gaskets are used to sustain the pressure and avoid leakage of fluids as well as the entry of contaminated particles. The seal forestalls the lubricants and prevents the dust and other contaminants from entering the machinery. The seals and gaskets are made up of silicone rubbers which are light in weight and can withstand at high temperature thereby helping the manufacturer in downsizing the vehicle and enhancing the fuel efficiency. The growth of the automotive industry worldwide and increasing sales due to increasing stringent government reforms, improving economies, and increasing disposable income is expected to drive the gasket and seal market growth.
