The global thermic fluids market size is estimated to reach USD 14.23 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing thermic fluid demand from concentrated solar power plants is expected to be a key driving factor for market demand over the next six years. Thermic fluids are used to transfer and store heat utilized for producing electricity. In addition, a positive outlook on the food and beverage market is also expected to enhance market penetration for food-grade thermic fluids.
Mineral oils emerged as the leading product segment of the global market in 2024. Mineral oils were followed by aromatic-based thermic fluids, however, glycol-based thermic fluids are expected to be the fastest-growing product segment, at an estimated CAGR of 4.1% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) capacity, mainly in the U.S. and Spain is expected to boost the demand for thermic fluids for these applications.
