I fluidi termovettori sono gas o liquidi prodotti specificamente allo scopo di trasferire calore da un sistema all'altro in un circuito chiuso come un ciclo continuo. I fluidi termovettori sono utilizzati in innumerevoli applicazioni e processi industriali che richiedono riscaldamento o raffreddamento , in genere in un circuito chiuso e in cicli continui. Il crescente numero di centrali solari a concentrazione con la crescente domanda di energia pulita guida la crescita del mercato HTF. Inoltre, gli HTF trovano applicazioni in vari settori di utilizzo finale come l'industria chimica, automobilistica, petrolifera e del gas, delle energie rinnovabili, alimentare e delle bevande, HVAC e farmaceutica. I fluidi termovettori sono prodotti industriali derivati da fonti petrolifere che vengono utilizzati per prevenire il surriscaldamento e per l'accumulo di energia termica. Le materie prime di base coinvolte nella produzione sono petrolio greggio, silice e oli base. Le caratteristiche importanti che definiscono un fluido termovettori sono bassa viscosità, natura non corrosiva, elevata conduttività termica e diffusività e temperature estreme di transizione di fase. I fluidi termovettori (HTF) sono gas o liquidi prodotti specificamente allo scopo di trasmettere calore da un sistema all'altro. Questi fluidi sono prodotti da petrolio altamente raffinato, idrocarburi sintetici o silossani ( silicone ). Forniscono alte temperature a pressioni di sistema molto basse e offrono anche sicurezza, bassa manutenzione e durata operativa estesa come principali vantaggi. Si stima che ciò influirà successivamente sul mercato degli HTF.

Nel settore petrolifero e del gas, i fluidi termovettori vengono utilizzati nelle piattaforme e nelle raffinerie offshore per il riscaldamento degli impianti e la rigenerazione dei glicoli per rimuovere l'acqua dal gas naturale prodotto e per riscaldare i ribollitori e le colonne per la distillazione di petrolio e prodotti derivati dal petrolio. Nel 2022, a causa della pandemia, la produzione di petrolio greggio e gas naturale è stata lenta, a causa del calo del consumo di petrolio e gas e prodotti correlati. Pertanto, attribuito a questo fattore, la domanda di fluidi termovettori nel settore petrolifero e di lavorazione è diminuita, il che dovrebbe influenzare la crescita del mercato nel prossimo futuro.
Similmente ad altre attività, anche il mercato globale dei fluidi di trasferimento di calore ha subito cambiamenti a causa della pandemia causata dal Covid-19. Nel settore chimico, il mercato HTF è stato lento nel 2022, quando l'impatto ha causato un forte calo nelle industrie di produzione chimica. Anche il mercato negli Stati Uniti e in Europa ha visto un calo della capacità di produzione chimica poiché gli impianti sono stati chiusi o hanno funzionato con una forza lavoro limitata.
Per riprendersi dalle perdite causate dalla pandemia, la maggior parte dei produttori ha limitato il budget destinato al reparto R&S per ristrutturarli e mantenere la loro funzione fondamentale nei vari settori di utilizzo finale.
Chicory market is estimated grow at a rate of 9.3% CAGR till 2029 with an estimated value of USD 6.88 billion.
The growth of this market can be attributed to growth of chemical & petrochemical processing, oil & gas and automotive industries.
The following is the list of the major market player of Heat transfer fluid market who fulfill the need of the industry with their proper segmentation and strategies; Eastman Chemical Company (US), The Dow Chemical Company (US), ExxonMobil (US), Chevron (US), Lanxess (Germany), Shell plc (Netherlands), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (India), Phillips 66 Company (US), Preterm (US), and Arkema (France).
Amongst all the region which contain the Heat transfer fluid market the largest stake is held by North American region.
HTF are used in various end use industries including of chemical & petrochemical processing, oil & gas and automotive industries. Due to the ongoing pandemic, these industries have been severely affected throughout the world. Manpower shortage, logistical restrictions, material unavailability, and other restrictions have slowed the growth of the industry in a considerable manner.
The HTF market is segmented by product, by end use industry and by region. The mineral oil segmented for the major share of HTF market in 2019. Mineral oil is considered to be inexpensive in comparison to other synthetic liquids as its initial cost is greater than the initial cost of mineral oil. There is seen to be loss in thermal fluid during the maintenance of thermal heater and it is expensive to replace the fluid back in the system. The regions of Asia Pacific and Middle east and Africa are the highest end user region but the usage is mainly on low-cost products.
The mineral oil segment accounted for the major share in 2019. Mineral oil is inexpensive in comparison to synthetic liquids as its initial cost is two to three times greater than the initial cost of mineral oil. There is loss of thermal fluid during the maintenance of a thermal heater, and it is expensive to replace the fluid back into the system. Even if the cost of replacing the fluid is higher, the cost of replacing mineral oil is much less than the cost associated with replacing a synthetic fluid. Furthermore, it is widely used in APAC and MEA regions where the focus is on the usage of low-cost products.
The End Use industry generally includes Chemical & Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Renewable Energy, Pharmaceutical and other, amongst these user, Chemical segment has accounted for the major heat transfer fluid market share. The increase in demand for chemical from automotive, energy and resource, construction, consumer goods and other has increased the production of chemicals. This factor has resulted in increase of demand for heat transfer fluids from chemical manufacturer for indirect heating of process liquids and polymers, pipeline tracing, energy recovering, dying and heating of bulk materials and gas processing and others.
Asia Pacific is a highly attractive market for HTFs. The rapid industrialization witnessed by the emerging economies in the region, especially in China and India, is creating a high demand for HTFs. Leading HTF manufacturers such as Dow, Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, and Dalian Rich Fortune Chemical Company are adopting marketing strategies such as product launches and developments to increase their share in the Asia Pacific HTF market. The renewable energy sector in India is likely to be one of the fast-growing segments in the HTF market in Asia Pacific.
The regional segment is dominated by Asia Pacific region.
