Rise in Demand for Synthetic Oil Lubricants in Automotive and Industrial Applications

Synthetic oil lubricants include API group III-based products. Demand for synthetic passenger car motor oils (PCMO) is high in mature economies, such as the U.S. and Europe, due to the increase in demand for premium vehicles; growth in demand for extended oil drain intervals (ODIs); and improved fuel economy, lower vehicle emissions, and hardware compatibility offered by synthetic oil lubricants. Governments of countries in Europe and North America are pushing OEMs to create more energy saving and environment-friendly equipment, thereby boosting the demand for more powerful and reliable equipment among consumers. Certain OEMs have introduced technological advances in equipment design by creating lighter engines with power trains with 10-speeds or more and much higher power density. This equipment with advanced design require special purpose lubricants, which further enable these new engines, power trains, and equipment to operate at their peak efficiency. Many OEMs are working with lubricant manufacturers to come up with tailor-made products for new designs. Synthetic base stocks, such as PAO, provide excellent oxidative stability and low-temperature performance. These factors are estimated to boost the demand for synthetic oil lubricants during the forecast period. Asia Pacific has become the hub of the automotive industry in the last few years. Increase in demand for automobiles in emerging countries such as China and India is driving the automobile industry, thereby augmenting the need for lubricants.

Increase in Application of Lubricants in Food Processing and Wind Turbine Industries to Offer Attractive Growth Opportunities

Rapid global industrialization is boosting the manufacturing sector and purchasing power of consumers. The middle class can afford to lead a better lifestyle. Thus, manufacturers of lubricants are striving to improve the quality of their products to meet the demands of various end-use industries. Demand for food grade industrial lubricants in the food processing industry is estimated to rise significantly during the forecast period. This can be primarily ascribed to the shift in demand toward automatic lubrication systems and automated factories. The food processing industry prefers automatic lubrication systems, as they keep the required components lubricated at regular intervals. The global wind turbine industry has been expanding significantly. Wind turbines and their components are exposed to various climatic conditions and high loads. Constant changes in high loads, varying operating conditions, and vibrations require tough equipment. There is a need for industrial lubricants, which can resist high loads and offer long service life over a wide range temperatures.

Fluctuation in Prices of Crude Oil and Synthetic and Semi-synthetic Lubricants

Several economic factors, such as overproduction of crude oil, changing energy norms of countries, and economic meltdown across Europe and North America have led to a steep decline in oil prices. These factors have created volatility in demand for lubricants and their prices. Thus, oil companies need to adopt flexible strategies in the ever-changing market conditions amid intense competition. Demand for synthetic lubricants is high in North America and Europe due to the regulatory implications regarding vehicles and high customer demand. This is not the case in developing economies, where a majority of consumers prefer affordability of lubricants over their quality. This adversely affects the demand for synthetic lubricants in the automotive lubricants market. However, the overall lubricants market is not significantly affected, since mineral oil-based lubricants account for major share of the market.
