The gasket is the seal, filling the space between two mating surfaces to prevent the leakage from the objects under compression. They are specially used in high-pressure steam systems. Gaskets used in industrial applications helps to limit the vibration, enhance mounting, and prevent leakage. Moreover, they maintain the required pressure and eradicate the contamination from any kind of external environmental condition. Industrial gaskets are manufactured from a different range of elastomers and materials. They are made up of flat materials which include a sheet from paper, rubber, metal, felt, silicone, nitrile rubber, cork, and others.  These gaskets can be used in various end-user industries such as chemicals, oil and gas, power, and others.

Increasing demand for industrial gaskets in various applications is primarily driving the market growth. Gaskets in the oil and gas production avoid the leakage and wastage of gas. In addition to this, rising adoption of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) from different industries such as chemicals, oil & gas, etc. will drive the growth of the market in forthcoming years. Furthermore, the increase in the stringent regulations regarding spillage and contamination by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prevent the damage to the environment is also a considerable factor boosting the market growth in the forecast period. Therefore, industrial gaskets market is estimated to record a healthy growth during the forecast period. However, utilization of low-priced asbestos-based gaskets in developing countries can hamper the market growth in upcoming years. Growing number of refineries in different regions can be an opportunity for the growth of the market.

On the basis of product type, the industrial gaskets market is segmented into the soft gasket, ring joint gasket, jacketed gasket, spiral wound gasket, kammprofile gasket, corrugated gasket, and others (compressed fiber asbestos and O-rings). Based on the material type, the market is fragmented into metallic, non-metallic, and semi-metallic. On the basis of end-user, the market is fragmented into chemical processing, industrial machinery, power generation, pulp & paper, food & pharmaceuticals, refineries, and others (wastewater treatment and textiles).

Based on the geography, North America accounted for a major market share in 2017. The trend is anticipated to continue during the upcoming years. Rising demand for industrial gaskets from chemical processing, power generation, and refineries sectors is estimated to propel the market growth. Moreover, Asia Pacific is attributed to register the fastest growth in the market. The growth in this region is accredited to the rising demand for power production in order to meet the increasing demand for power.

Some of the key players operating in the industrial gaskets market are Hennig Gasket & Seals, Inc., Teadit, Klinger Limited, Denver Rubber Company, Garlock Sealing Technologies, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., Flexitallic, Lamons, Spira Power, James Walker, and Spitmaan, among others.
