Lubricating Oil Additives Market Report – Key Takeaways:
- Engine Oil to Register the Highest Growth
Engine Oil segment is analyzed to grow with the highest CAGR of 11.38% during the forecast period 2024-2030.? As it helps to preserve engine performance, reduce wear and tear of machinery, provide prolonged life to it with consistent use, therefore it is used for all different kinds of machinery and engines. They are also used in heavy industrial equipment such as automobiles or construction equipment. For instance, In August 2023, China implemented robust measures to address its property market crisis, including the relaxation of mortgage policies and the initiation of guidelines for affordable housing construction. Hence such demand for affordable housing and an increase in infrastructure projects will drive construction in the country, due to which demand for engine oil used in heavy equipment like cranes and scrapers used in the construction sector will also increase.
- Automotive segment is Leading the Market
The automotive segment accounted for the largest share of over 45% in 2023. Lubricating Oil Additives are used in an automobile to clean, cool, prevent metal parts from corrosion and rust. Lubricants like engine oil are used to enhance fuel efficiency and performance of the engine in automobiles and gear oil is used in automobile gearbox to protect gear parts from high mechanical pressure. Hence with the rapid development in the automotive sector and increase in production of vehicles in major regions, the demand for gear and engine oil will also increase as it has high applicability in the automotive sector. For instance, as per the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, the global production volume of vehicles increased to 61 million in 2022 from 57 million, the previous year. As per European Automobile Manufacturers Association, the production of passenger cars in the EU increased by 8.3% in 2022.
- Changes in Automobile Engines Technology is Driving the Growth of the Market
? Modern engines in terms of reliability and efficiency depend directly on the effectiveness of the lubricating system. lubrication is responsible for cooling internal parts of the engine which are acting relative to each other creating friction and heat which results in overheating. With the advancement in passenger car engine technology like Gasoline Direct Injection & Turbocharge Gasoline Direct Injection, there have been some advancements in lubricant standards too. For instance, in 2022, the evaluation commenced for the prospective ILSAC GF-7 standard, intended to supersede GF-6. The proposed improvements span crucial engine tests, aiming to adapt to evolving engine technologies, address component availability concerns, and align with potential EPA/CARB regulations. Hence such implementation will increase demand for lower viscosity index improvers lubricants as they are used in all vehicles and efficiently reduce engine friction.
- Volatility in Raw Material Prices is a major challenge in the Lubricating Oil Additives market
? The Lubricating Oil Additives market is significantly impacted by the volatility in raw material prices. The production of additives relies heavily on petrochemical derivatives, which are subject to fluctuating prices due to geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and changes in crude oil prices. Such volatility can lead to increased production costs, squeezing profit margins for manufacturers. The unpredictability of raw material costs also makes pricing strategies challenging, as manufacturers must either absorb the increased costs or pass them on to customers, potentially affecting demand. This financial instability necessitates strategic sourcing, long-term contracts, and inventory management to mitigate risks, but it remains a persistent challenge that can affect the competitiveness and profitability of additive manufacturers.
