The global lubricant market is expected to reach USD 179 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period 2021 to 2030. The lubricant market has grown due to a rise in the demand for high-performance lubricants (owing to their better and improved properties, such as reduced flammability, reduced gear wear, and increased service life).

 

Market Overview

A lubricant is a chemical that aids in reducing friction between surfaces in contact. The word "lubricant" is often used colloquially. Additionally, it could be used to move foreign particles, transmit forces, or heat. The term "lubricity" refers to the ability to reduce friction. Lubricants serve a variety of different functions outside those found in the industry. Other applications include cooking (e.g., frying pan oils and fats used in baking to prevent food from sticking), bioapplications on people (e.g., lubricants for artificial joints), ultrasound examination, medical evaluation, and sexual activity. It is mostly used to lessen friction and to improve and increase the efficiency of a device. Due to the growing demand for lubricants made from bio-based materials, the industry dynamics are shifting in terms of raw materials. The demand for automotive oils and greases is expected to increase as the commerce in automobiles. The consumer cars segment is anticipated to grow, which is good news for the industry as a result of the significant economic recovery in North America and Europe. Over the forecast period, rising auto sales are anticipated to boost worldwide industry growth. Countries like India, China, the United States, and Brazil are principally responsible for the increase in global vehicle sales. The availability of a big pool of skilled labor and technological know-how, as well as attracting foreign investment norms, are key growth drivers for the manufacturing sector in these regions. The rapid expansion of specialized manufacturing industries like 3D printing and medical devices is anticipated to complement the industrial growth in these markets. Therefore, it is anticipated that the increasing industrialization of BRICS will fuel demand for industrial fluids, which will then support the expansion of the global lubricants industry.
