Market Overview:
Lubricants play a vital role in reducing friction and wear of moving parts in vehicles, machinery, and others. They help improve efficiency, lower operating temperature and protect surfaces from corrosion. With growing automotive and industrial sectors, the demand for lubricants is increasing globally.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the lubricants market is the rising demand for synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants. Synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants have superior properties compared to conventional mineral oil-based lubricants.They have better resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown, lower volatility, higher viscosity index and better low-temperature fluidity. Owing to their superior performance, synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants are widely replacing conventional lubricants in automotive, industrial and other applications. Another major trend is the growing demand for bio-based and eco-friendly lubricants due to stringent environmental regulations regarding the usage of conventional petroleum-based lubricants.
The Global Lubricants Market Demand is estimated to be valued at US$ 178.4 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
