The Asia Pacific industrial hose market was valued at US$ 8.34 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 14.31 billion by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 7.0% during 2023-2031.
Burgeoning Government and Private Investments for the Industrial Development
In July 2024, the Indonesian government launched the second phase of an industrial complex in Central Java in Batang Industrial Park. Nearly 20 companies, including South Korea's LG Energy Solution and KCC Glass Glass Maker, have planned investments in this space spread across 4,300 hectares in Indonesia. These companies have invested more than US$ 860 million in the country. Further, in September 2024, WHA Corp, a Thailand-based industrial estate developer, launched various plans to attract foreign direct investments in the country. Also, in the Asia Pacific region, as per the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia Countries, around US$ 1.5 trillion Investment proposed per year for the economic development in the Asia Pacific countries. Further, in November, 2024, Indonesia government aimed investment of around US$ 120 billion by 2025 for the industrial development in its national economy according to the Minister of Investment in the country. Further, as per the International Trade Administration Organization, in December 2022, South Korea government approved investment of US$ 499 billion for 2023 budget. The South Korean Government investment targeted in several industries including automotive, healthcare, medical devices, industrial chemicals, semiconductor manufacturing, energy, and transportation.
Further, increasing private investment for the industrial development across the Asia Pacific region is expected to create ample opportunity for the Asia Pacific industrial hose market. In China, several multinational companies are expanding their production capabilities through investments in both production and research & development capabilities. For instance, in April 2024, the BMW Group, a German carmaker, announced an investment of ~US$ 2.81 billion for the expansion of its production capabilities in Shenyang city in northeastern China. In September 2024, Schneider Electric, a French company, started expanding its production capacity in Shanghai. Further, in September 2024, Intel Corporation unveiled the expansion plan of its chip manufacturing capacity base in Chengdu in southwest China, with an investment of US$ 300 million in its expansion capabilities. Industrial hoses are essential components of material handling, transfer, and other processes in industrial facilities. Thus, rapid industrialization with a surge in investments by governments is expected to create ample opportunities for the growth of the Asia Pacific industrial hose market.
Several key players in the Asia Pacific industrial hose market are developing advanced industrial hoses for chemical and oil & gas applications. Hoses developed with new advanced materials are designed to support the requirement of fluid transport applications in various industries.
In July 2024, Dow announced the launch of NORDEL REN ethylene propylene diene terpolymers (EPDM), a bio-based version of rubber material for a wide range of applications, including automotive, hoses, infrastructure, and consumer applications. This plant-based EPDM material was launched for making various key components such as industrial hoses and automotive weather seals.
In October 2023, Watson Marlow Bredel B.V. launched Bredel NR Transfer hoses for general fluid transfer applications. This natural rubber-based hose was designed for handling sludges, food and beverage waste streams, and abrasive slurries at pressures up to 12 bar.
Thus, the introduction of innovative material-based hoses by key players operating in the market is likely to bring in new growth trends in the market.
