Report ID : 1724 | Published : 2023-04-14 | Pages: 180 | Format: PDF/EXCEL

The Global Lubricants Market Size is valued at 137.36 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 189.52 billion by the year 2031 at a 3.74% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.

In processing industries and automotive parts, particularly brakes and engines, lubricants are widely employed to ensure continuous, smooth operation. The market is expanding due to the increasing import and export of piston engine lubricants. Consumers' increasing interest in improving vehicle performance and the availability of premium, innovative products drive increased demand.

Lubricants Market

Production of motor vehicles and the number of kilometers driven by each vehicle will significantly impact future growth. To ensure the smooth operation of their vehicles and save long-term maintenance expenses, consumers are also looking for basic and specialty lubricants for their normal automobiles.

The increased trade in cars and their replacement parts drives demand for automotive lubricants and greases. Industries that are expanding quickly depend on lubricants. They work in machinery between two reasonably mobile elements to lessen friction and wear and tear. They are necessary for the effective operation of machinery and can be petroleum- or water-based. Moreover, lubricants reduce downtime in operations and subsequently boost overall productivity. 

Recent Developments:

  • In June 2021, In order to establish a Petrochemical and Lube Integration (LuPech) Project, an Acrylics/Oxo Alcohol Project, and additional infrastructure projects at its Gujarat Refinery in Vadodara, IOCL and the Government of Gujarat inked an MOU for "Investment Promotion."

Market Segmentation:

The Lubricants market is segmented by base oil, product type, and end-use industry. Based on base oil, the market is segmented as mineral oil, synthetic oil, and bio-based oil. By product type, the market is segmented into engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and metalworking fluid. By end-use industry, the market is segmented as transportation and industrial lubricants.

Based On End-User Industry Type, The Industrial Segment Is Accounted As A Significant Contributor In The Lubricants Market

Due to the significant industrial production in emerging nations, the industrial industry had the second-largest segment share. The greatest markets for industrial lubricants are anticipated to be in the chemical, mining, and unconventional energy sectors. This pattern is anticipated to improve the need for industrial lubricants in centrifuges, hydraulic compressors, and industrial engines. Throughout the forecast years, the marine category is expected to develop at a considerable CAGR. The product's use in low-, medium-, and high-speed marine engines is credited with the rise.

Engine Oil Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate

The engine oil category dominated the worldwide lubricant market in terms of product type. The engine oil lowers the amount of metal-to-metal contact, friction, and heat creation by lubricating the engine's components for effective movement. The engine oil also serves the purposes of rust prevention, gap sealing, and cleaning and cooling the engine parts.

In The Region, The North America Lubricants Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share

The industry was controlled by Asia Pacific. The expansion is ascribed to the automotive sector's explosive growth, industrial development, and the presence of automobile manufacturing businesses in nations like China, India, and Japan. Automotive engine oils, greases, and hydraulic fluids are the most widely utilised lubricants on the Asian market. The regulatory frameworks in the Asia Pacific have begun to resemble those in the United States and Europe, and as a result, nations like Japan and South Korea are prioritising eco-labeled lubricants. Due to its numerous ports and growing trade with the US and other developed countries, Asia Pacific also enjoys a leading position in the world's marine industry.

Over the projected period, it is expected that the marine sectors of China, India, and Singapore will become international port operators. These elements are expected to increase lubricant consumption across the board in marine applications. With more than 55,000 participating enterprises, China has the largest and most developed lubricant market in Asia. The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers estimates that China will account for about 65% of the world's newly expanded chemical material capacity in 2020.
