Description

Global Synthetic Lubricants Market Analysis and Forecast Report 2030

Product Overview
Synthetic lubricants are composed of oil components which have been synthetically produced rather than refined from existing petroleum crudes or vegetable oils by reaction of a few well-defined chemical compounds. In both high and low temperatures, they can be used. Synthetic lubricants enhance resistance to oxidation, thermal stability, low-temperature properties, and reduce the formation of residues, flammability, and lower losses of evaporation. They also assist in minimizing fiction and thus improve the efficiency of fuel and the life of machinery. Synthetic lubricants help to regulate the temperature of the vehicle by absorbing the heat produced by the moving parts of the vehicle and transferring it to the sump or cooler. These factors collectively help to increase the average life cycle of the vehicle. Synthetic lubricants find their application in process oil, engine oil, marine lubricants, hydraulic oil, and metalworking fluids.

Global Synthetic Lubricants Market: Segments
PAO segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30
Global Synthetic Lubricants Market is segmented by Type into PAO, PAG, Esters, Group III. PAO segment held the largest market share in the year 2020. Polyalphaolefin (PAO), also known as synthetic hydrocarbons is the common form of synthetic base oil. These lubricants are produced via catalytic oligomerization of alphaolefin. PAO possesses various chemical and physical properties such as a higher viscosity index, lower volatility, better oxidative/thermal stability, and lower pour point. They are highly utilized as high-performance functional base fluids in compressor oils, hydraulic oils, transmission oils, and engine oils.

Engine Oil segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30
Global Synthetic Lubricants market is bifurcated by application into Engine Oil, Hydraulic Fluids, Metalworking Fluids, Compressor Oil, Gear Oil, Refrigeration Oil, Transmission Fluids and Turbine Oil. Engine Oil segment held the largest market share in the year 2020 and will continue to dominate the market in the coming years owing to propelling automotive industry that includes personal as well as cargo transportation. Engine oil is primarily used in automobiles to minimize metal-to-metal contact and reduce damage and friction. It provides high operating temperature, outstanding firm protection, and enhanced drain interval.

Market Dynamics
Drivers
Flourishing Automotive Industry
Automotive industry has witnessed a tremendous growth in the last few years. According to the OICA, in 2017 global vehicle production was almost 97 million units. The demand for synthetic lubricants is increasing in the automotive industry which is estimated to have a positive impact on market growth. These lubricants are utilized in automotive industry in the form of gearbox lubes, diesel engine oils, and transmission oils in passenger and commercial vehicles and motorcycles. In addition, to smoothen the working of machinery in the automotive sector, the demand for low viscosity grease and fluids is accelerating which is anticipated to propel the market growth. Bedsides, mounting sales of commercial and passenger vehicles in developing economies are boosting the global automotive industry. This in turn is projected to boost the synthetic lubricants market.

Technological Advancements in Synthetic Lubricants
Advent of advancements in synthetic lubricant technologies is expected to boost the synthetic lubricants market in the coming years. Various manufacturers are introducing environmentally-friendly, efficient, and effective synthetic lubricants at very competitive costs. This would increase the penetration of synthetic lubricants in the market. In addition, technological innovation such as NSF food lubrication standard set by significant equipment builders, in order to use synthetic lubricants in the food industry is projected to proliferate synthetic lubricants market growth.

Restraint
High Price of Synthetic Lubricants
High cost associated with synthetic lubricants is likely to have a negative impact on the market growth. The cost of synthetic lubricants is double when compared to mineral oil lubricants. The price of synthetic lubricants based on silicone can go as high as 20 times the cost of mineral oil lubricants. In major emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, and Africa, price plays a key role in choosing the form of lubricant
