Indonesia Metalworking Fluids Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during 2025–2031

Water-miscible cutting fluids segment by Product Type held the highest revenue share in Indonesia Metalworking Fluids Market -6Wresearch

The water-miscible cutting fluids segment held a substantial share of the Indonesia Metalworking Fluids Market, supported by their widespread use in high-volume machining and general metalworking operations. Manufacturers favored these fluids for effective cooling, chip evacuation, and cost efficiency, particularly in milling, grinding, and CNC machining applications. Strong adoption across automotive, electronics, and light engineering industries, along with frequent fluid replenishment cycles, reinforced water-miscible fluids as a core and routinely consumed category in industrial machining environments.

According to 6Wresearch, Indonesia Metalworking Fluids Market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during 2025–2031. Between 2021 and 2024, Indonesia metalworking fluid (MWF) demand strengthened in step with higher industrial throughput in machining-heavy sectors (automotive, metal products, general manufacturing). Indonesia’s economy expanded through this period, reaching more growth in 2024. A practical proxy for MWF pull is vehicle and component machining: Net-net: higher machining intensity + imported specialty chemical dependence translates into steady MWF consumption growth across plants prioritizing uptime, surface finish quality, and tool life.

Between 2025 and 2031, Indonesia MWF market should keep expanding as the country pushes manufacturing competitiveness and factory modernization this directly increases cutting, grinding, and corrosion-prevention fluid usage per unit of metal output. The government’s “Making Indonesia 4.0” agenda continues to prioritize five industrial sectors food & beverages, textiles, automotive, electronics, and chemicals which are all strong users of metal fabrication equipment and maintenance fluids. As these sectors scale automation and precision manufacturing, demand shifts structurally toward higher-performance coolants and cutting oils (better thermal control, longer sump life, lower foam, better bio-stability), Indonesia’s policy-backed manufacturing push & sustained machining bases (notably automotive and electronics supply chains) should keep MWF volumes growing, while raising the bar on product quality, technical service, and compliance-driven fluid management.

According to Sumit, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the mineral-based fluids segment accounted for a significant share of the Indonesia Metalworking Fluids Market, propelled by widespread adoption of cost-effective base oils in general machining and metal forming operations. Strong demand from automotive, electronics, and heavy industries where conventional mineral formulations remain the standard due to price-performance balance underpinned market growth. Recurring consumption for routine lubrication, cooling, and chip removal in high-volume production environments ensured stable uptake, while manufacturers and workshops prioritized robust, easy-to-source mineral fluids to optimize tool life and operational efficiency.
