From transferring high-temperature liquids to carrying gases to different locations, hoses are in high demand from different industrial sectors, including mining, oil and gas, and agriculture.

Despite the significant fall in crude oil prices and the rising awareness about greenhouse emissions, the recent decline in the prices of rubber and plastic resins that are the major sources for hoses is anticipated to result in the reduction in prices and will subsequently drive the growth of the global hoses market. Additionally, factors such as the constantly increasing demand for power, the growth of the construction industry across the globe, and the introduction of stringent safety guidelines for various industrial sectors will also spur the demand for hoses, especially in regions such as the Asia-Pacific and Africa.

However, with a number of manufacturers constantly focusing on innovating their product offerings and acquiring other vendors to enhance their customer base, the market space for hoses is highly-competitive, which greatly reduces the manufacturer’s revenue shares. Employing analysts with significant experience in conducting both qualitative and quantitative projects, Infiniti helps clients in the industrial manufacturing sector identify new potential opportunities for growth and also deduce strategies to enter new markets.
