Global Magneto-rheological fluid Market: Overview

Magneto-rheological fluid or MR fluid is a controllable, non-colloidal fluid, which is a mixture of ferromagnetic particles dispersed randomly in water or oil. This fluid is mixed with surfactants for avoiding the settlement of the suspended particles. The demand and popularity of the magneto-rheological fluid market on a global scale can be attributed to the rising number of innovative applications, such as engine mounting and haptic knobs across a wide range of industries, such as optics, robotics, and automotive.

Global Magneto-Rheological Fluid Market: Regional Analysis

The global magneto-rheological fluid market is classified into Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa, Latin America, and the Asia Pacific. In 2019, the Asia Pacific magneto-rheological fluid market dominated globally and is anticipated to maintain its position over the estimated period as well. This was due to the increase in consumer awareness regarding the benefits of MR fluid usage. The North American and European regions are likely to show a good rate of growth in this market over the estimated time period. When subjected to any type of magnetic field, MR fluids’ viscosity rapidly increases, thus transforming into a viscoelastic solid.

Similarly, in the absence of a magnetic field, the MR fluid transforms to its original state, i.e., liquid. Thus, the growing use of MR fluid in damping, braking, and clutching systems in varied industries, such as aerospace, building and construction, automotive, military and defence, robotics, and optics. Developed countries in both the regions, such as the U.S., Canada, Germany, etc., are making huge investments for developing new technology, which, in turn, is likely to further drive this market in the future.
