Market Segmentation:

The market is segmented by product (mineral oil-based lubricants, synthetic lubricants, and bio-based lubricants) and application (automotive oils, industrial oils, process oils, metalworking fluids, and greases).

The market growth in the mineral oil-based lubricants segment will be significant during the forecast period. Mineral oil-based lubricants are manufactured on a large scale during petroleum refining. Hence, they are less expensive than synthetic and bio-based lubricants. The low cost and easy accessibility of mineral oil-based lubricants are the key factors driving the growth of the segment.

Market Dynamics:

Key Drivers:

The market is driven by the increasing demand from end-user industries. Lubricants are widely used in various industrial applications. In the construction industry, lubricants are used in construction equipment to reduce wear and tear of moving parts and corrosion. Hydraulic fluids made from lubricants are used in crawler excavators, mini excavators, and others owing to their energy transmission capacity. In the steel industry, lubricants are used in hydraulic fluids, compressor oils, and others in equipment such as blast furnaces, continuous castings, and others. Such expanding applications of lubricants in various end-user industries drive the growth of the market.

Major Trends:

The rising adoption of synthetic lubricants is identified as the key trend in the market. Synthetic lubricants offer various advantages over mineral oil-based lubricants. They offer better performance and provide effective resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The use of synthetic lubricants improves the lifespan of machinery owing to the reduced wearing of machine parts. In addition, synthetic lubricants last 4-8 times longer than mineral oil-based lubricants and can operate at temperatures as high as 450 °C. Many such benefits are increasing the use of synthetic lubricants among end-users, thereby driving market growth.

Key Challenges:

The fluctuation in the prices of crude oil will challenge the growth of the market. Lubricants are primarily derived from hydrocarbons from petroleum. Synthetic esters, PAOs, phosphate esters, glycols, and other silicate esters obtained from petroleum are some of the other raw materials used in the manufacture of lubricants. Thus, volatility in the prices of crude oil will directly affect the profit margins of lubricant manufacturers and can have a negative impact on the growth of the market in focus.
