Industrial Lubricants Market Size, Share, Trends, Forecast 2028 |TechSci Research

Summary

Report Description

Global Industrial Lubricants market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028 due to increase increasing adoption of automation in manufacturing. In 2019, the per capita demand for lubricants in North America was approximately 18.2 kilograms.

Global Industrial Lubricants market is expected to expand during the projected period due to rising adoption of automation in manufacturing as automation provides higher efficiency by increasing manufacturing capacity using machine and equipment which require regular maintenance and lubrication. A chemical used on surfaces with relative movement between them is known as a lubricant. Lubricant lessens wear between surfaces and decreases friction. A lubricant can serve other responsibilities including those of a sealing agent, a heat transfer agent, and a corrosion prevention agent. Lubricant products are made from a mixture of base oils and additives. The composition of base oil in the formulation of lubricants is primarily between 70-90%. Base oils possess lubricating properties and make up to 90% of the final lubricant product. Rapid industrialization and the significant rise in trade activities, particularly in developing countries, are expected to propel the demand for industrial lubricants in the upcoming years.

Furthermore, other factors, such as the rising mining operations and robust construction industry growth, are likely to provide opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

Rising Adoption of Automation in Manufacturing

The term automation identifies technology that uses control systems (such as logic circuits or processors) to manage machines and processes, reducing the need for human intervention. It is used for executing repetitive or complex operations, where safety or certainty are required, or simply for greater convenience. Production procedures in manufacturing employ machinery from automated systems. Automation promotes higher efficiency by increasing manufacturing capacity, ensuring predictable maintenance, and lowering costs. With the development of automation, machines are also able to operate faster and with an even higher level of precision, which has a positive influence on the quality and processing time of products such as CNC machines (computer numerical control). Industrial machines such as presses, lathes, milling machines, bending machines, and sheet metal cutting machines enable numerical control through an external CNC computer, which enables them to work at high levels of precision by repeating the task in series. By requiring little effort and producing a favorable return on investment, these advantages also assist the organization in developing a wide range of product kinds to appeal to consumers. Automation has increased reliance on machinery and equipment, which need regular maintenance and lubrication. These devices include bearings, hydraulics, compressors, industrial engines, and centrifuges. The market is expanding due to the surge in demand for automated industrial equipment.

For instance, Castrol Limited developed advanced lubricants for robotics which help to decrease the downtime of industrial robots and positively impact the quality, costs, and efficiency of the manufacturing process.

Furthermore, automation processes are used in various end-user industries including automobile, textile, and chemical.

For instance, Cotmac Electronics Pvt. Ltd. provides process automation solutions to the textile, pharmaceutical & chemical industries.

Thus, the rising desire for automation in the manufacturing sector increases the demand for lubricants which led to the growth of the market in the forecast years.

Emerging Countries Turns Towards Bio-Based Oils

Recently, there has been a trend toward enhancing and expanding the usage of base oils derived from biodegradable feedstocks and bio-based lubricants. Vegetable oils are used as bio-based industrial lubricants' degradable basic ingredients, to reduce their reliance on petroleum and other non-renewable raw material sources, businesses are putting more and more effort into developing ecologically friendly base oils. The increase in restrictions on using conventional lubricants is more evidence of this.

For instance, Cargill, Incorporated produces Agri-Pure series of bio-based oil which is used in a variety of applications within the lubricants category.

Additionally, the use of bio-based lubricants in the food processing sector and the expansion of environmental regulations in the food and beverage sectors are expanding the market for bio-based products.

For instance, Renewable Lubricants, Inc. produces Bio-Penetrating Lubricant (BPL) food grade which is used in various food & beverage industries.

The demand for goods with high biodegradability and low toxicity has also increased due to recent developments in the healthcare sector. As a result of all the contributing factors, the industrial lubricants market has developed potential in the forecast period.

Electricity Production Dominates The Market

One of the most significant areas of the global economy is electricity production, without which practically all manufacturing processes risk ceasing. The opening of several new facilities due to improvements in manufacturing technology is raising the demand for energy across a range of end-user sectors. Electricity is produced from different sources, i.e., thermal, wind, water, solar, and others use turbines, pumps, fans, and gears as key devices. A large amount of heat is emitted from a turbine during electricity production. So, properly running these devices requires proper maintenance, which is fulfilled by using adequate lubricants so that the efficiency of the power plant increases. Thus, all such factors and trends are expected to drive the demand for lubricants in the upcoming years.

For instance, TotalEnergies provide industrial lubricants for energy production which are used in turbines, gas engines, pumps, and gears.

Additionally, the building and construction industry experiences major growth due to the rise in government projects for infrastructure development, housing schemes and flourishing residential housing development activities which require industrial construction equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, lift trucks & scrapers and others. For proper and efficient working of these equipment’s there is regular and proper maintenance and lubrication of equipment is necessary which increase the demand of lubricants result in propelling the growth of Global Industrial Lubricants market in the projected period.

For instance, Shell Global produces lubricants and greases which help to protect construction equipment, improve equipment performance, reduce environmental impacts.

However, advanced machinery operates at higher temperatures and pressures, with greater precision and efficiency than older equipment which increases the complexity of machinery and equipment. This complexity requires lubricants that can withstand higher demands, with advanced properties such as improved oxidation stability, higher load-carrying capacity, and water resistance. Developing lubricants with these advanced properties can be challenging and requires significant investment in research and development. Along with this, the fluctuating cost of raw materials such as the cost of base oils and additives, which are essential ingredients in lubricants is fluctuating, this trend can lead to fluctuation in the prices for lubricants, which can affect the affordability of products and impact the overall demand for lubricants which restraint the growth of the market. Moreover, various regulations govern the production and use of lubricants, including those related to sustainability, environmental impact, health, and safety. This led the industry to develop lubricants that are biodegradable, renewable, and have a lower carbon footprint to meet the growing demand for sustainable products. But developing these lubricants can be challenging, as they must also meet performance standards and be cost-effective. In addition, consumers in developed and developing countries are choosing electric vehicles, owing to the high prices of crude oil as well as due to constant technological development, electric vehicles offer many advantages. Thus, increasing the adoption of electric vehicles may hamper the growth of the fuel-based automotive sector which slow down the growth of the market.
