Global Water-Based Cutting Fluids Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Water-Based Cutting Fluids market size is predicted to grow from US$ 8830 million in 2025 to US$ 11540 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2031.
The application of cutting fluid in the field of engineering manufacturing has a history of hundreds of years, and it plays a vital role in the processing efficiency and surface quality of parts. Among them, water-based cutting fluid accounts for more than 90% of the consumption of cutting fluid. Water-based cutting fluid is made by mixing mineral oil or synthetic oil with water in a certain proportion. It is a coolant and lubricant widely used in processing. Adding various additives to the cutting fluid is often necessary to enhance the performance of the cutting fluid and prolong its service life.Water-based cutting fluids are divided into emulsion type, semisynthetic type and synthetic type. Emulsified cutting fluid is an oil-in-water emulsion obtained by mixing base oil (mineral oil) with water containing emulsifiers. The content of mineral oil is greater than 60%, showing milky white. Synthetic cutting fluid takes inorganic salt and organic amine as the main body and adds various additives such as preservatives or defoamers to dissolve in water to form a transparent or slightly colored aqueous solution. Semisynthetic cutting fluid is a combination of oil-in-water emulsion and synthetic fluid, which has the characteristics of emulsified cutting fluid and synthetic cutting fluid.Compared with oil-based cutting fluids, water-based cutting fluids use additives such as lubricants, rust inhibitors, and antioxidants, which makes the water-based cutting fluid not only maintain the lubrication and antirust performance of the oil-based cutting fluid but also have a stronger heat dissipation capacity. Among water-based cutting fluids, semisynthetic cutting fluids have gradually become the best choice in the metal processing industry due to their excellent comprehensive performance.
The market drivers for water-based cutting fluids are mainly the increasing demand from the manufacturing industry, especially the automotive and aerospace sectors, which require high-performance cutting fluids for machining operations. Water-based cutting fluids offer superior lubrication and corrosion protection, which can improve the surface quality and tool life of the machined parts. Additionally, the growth of the oil and gas industry, which also requires water-based cutting fluids for drilling and exploration activities, is also contributing to the market demand.
The constraints of water-based cutting fluids are mainly the environmental and health concerns associated with their use and disposal. Water-based cutting fluids contain harmful chemicals, such as sulphur, chlorine, and amines, which can cause pollution and ecological problems when discharged into the environment. Moreover, water-based cutting fluids can pose health risks to the workers who handle them, such as respiratory problems, skin irritation, eye infection, and cancer . Therefore, water-based cutting fluids are subject to strict regulations and standards in many regions, which can limit their application and increase their cost.
The future opportunities for water-based cutting fluids are mainly related to the development of more eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives, such as vegetable-oil-based, bio-based, and nanofluid-based cutting fluids. These fluids offer several advantages over traditional water-based cutting fluids, such as better biodegradability, renewability, lubricity, and performance . Moreover, these fluids can help to reduce the environmental impact and meet the regulatory requirements of the cutting fluid industry. Therefore, these fluids are expected to gain more popularity and market share in the future .
