Leak detection dyes are the fluids used to detect leaks in the refrigerant system, transmission, fuel and coolant circulation lines of vehicles. These dyes are capable of detecting minute, elusive leaks in these lines, which is otherwise difficult to trace, by the conventional methods for leak detection. The most commonly used dyes for detecting these leaks are UV dyes. The dye is injected into the lines to be checked and circulated. The UV dyes accumulate in each minute leak and are then detected using a UV light, according to a report by Future Market Insights.
As per the EU regulations, each HVAC systems needs to be checked for leaks in order to avoid the release of refrigerants containing greenhouse gases causing a potential threat to the environment. Leak detection using dye injection, is an easy and effective method for leak detections in automotive and HVAC lines, is widely adopted in these applications. Globally, the market for leak detection dyes market will register a considerable CAGR by the end of forecast period.
The global leak detection dyes market is primarily driven by the demand for efficient leak detecting techniques in HVAC industries and automotive services, as it can be used for detecting very minute leaks. These are otherwise hard to detect, by naked eyes or other conventional methods like nitrogen purging, soap bubble tests among others.
The method, in turn, saves the time and labour for rework, which in turn saves the operation costs. Other than the aforementioned advantages, it also complies with the SAE standards for leak detections and fulfils the EU regulations for the yearly leak detection checks to be done in the HVAC systems. However, there are some drawbacks for using the leak detection; for instance, the detection of leaks using the dyes does not give instant result. The process is time-consuming as it takes time for the dyes to accumulate in the leaks among others. This might be a restraint to the global leak detection dyes market.
The global leak detection dyes market is segmented based on types, applications and region. Based on the types of leak detection dyes, the leak detection dyes market is segmented into oil soluble leak detection dyes and water-soluble leak detection dyes. Based on the applications the leak detection dyes market is segmented into automotive, HVAC and other industrial applications.
Based on the geographic regions, global leak detection dyes market is segmented into seven key market segments namely North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, Japan, and Middle East & Africa.
Among the aforementioned regions, the adoption of leak detection dyes in the Western European market is more due to the strict EU regulations in the region for which mandates compulsory leak detection in HVAC systems once in a year. This makes the preference for leak detection dyes in the region among the HVAC service companies.
North American market for the leak detection dyes is followed by the Western Europe market. Growth in automotive industries and construction activities in the Asia-Pacific, MEA regions will also foster growth for global leak detection dyes market by the end of forecast period.
Some of the major players identified in the global leak detection dyes market include, W W Grainger Inc, Chromatech Incorporated, Highside Chemicals Inc, Tracer Products, Abbey Color, Spectroline and Anderson Manufacturing Co Inc among others.
