Quick Disconnect Couplings Market Size & Outlook, 2025-2033

Quick Disconnect Couplings Market Size

The global quick disconnect couplings market size was valued at USD 2.53 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 2.65 billion in 2025 to USD 3.87 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.87% during the forecast period (2025-2033).

A quick disconnect coupling, also referred as quick release coupling, is used for a fast, make-or-break connection of fluid as well as air transfer lines in the data center, agriculture, manufacturing, and oil & gas sectors.  It helps in reducing discharge and trapped air while ensuring repeated dripless connections and disconnections. Besides, quick disconnect coupling ensures a clean environment and protects system fluid from contamination caused by debris or air. Furthermore, quick disconnect coupling also helps in proper alignment by countering the potential misalignment angularly or parallelly.

Moreover, quick disconnect coupling in the food & beverage industry for beverage dispensing application comes with sanitation-friendly designs made from stainless steel. The burgeoning manufacturing sector in the emerging economies, including Mexico, Brazil, India, China, and Thailand is witnessing steady growth in the robotics assembly line. This is expected to flourish the demand for quick disconnect couplings in the modern manufacturing industries. Safety concerns, surging production output rate, and rising focus on quality and consistency are the determinants encouraging the manufacturing industries to spend generously for strengthening the assembly line.

According to the International Federation of Robotics, 381,000 units of robots were shipped across the globe in 2017 an upsurge of 30% than the previous year. Besides, in 2017, industrial robot sales revenue witnessed an increase of 21% growth as compared to the previous year, accounting USD 16.2 billion. Newly developed “Soft Robot” uses pneumatic quick disconnect couplings instead of utilizing mechanical power for increasing the productivity and ensuring safety with desired accuracy. Electronic manufacturers are likely to employ robots to prevent errors and boost productivity.
