The industrialend-user segment is also emerging as a significant source of retrofits, as plantowners have been investing in capacity expansions, new expansions, andrefurbishing aging power generation plants to improve productivity. Industrieshad invested substantially in brown field projects and maintenance and capacityreplacement in 2007, providing relief to gasket manufacturers. Although the economic slump is likely to defer a few industrial projects thatwere to be taken up in 2009 and 2010, the already initiated ones will go a longway in shoring up the gaskets market. The postponement of oil and gas expansionprojects will also curb the rapid growth of the market until 2010. “Decreasingoil prices are expected to reduce capacities until 2010, but with marketstabilization, the refurbishment of existing plants becomes necessary,” says theanalyst of this research.

“The aftermarket business will see the gaskets marketsgrow moderately during this period.” Acknowledging the challenge of operating inthese difficult economic environments, companies all over the world are strivingto lower operational expenditure and improve returns on investment. With manycompanies also looking to considerably downsize maintenance personnel forequipment repair or breakdown, there is a large market for products that offerbetter reliability and life cycle cost benefits.
