Lubricating oil additives are chemicals that are used to improve the efficiency of lubricants. These lubricating oil additives enhance existing base oil properties, suppress undesirable base oil properties and also impart new properties to base oils. Lubricating oil additives are used in various applications such as in engine oil, hydraulic fluid, gear oil, metalworking fluids, transmission fluid, grease, compressor oil and others. These additives can be categorized into ten types- viscosity index improvers, dispersants, detergent, anti-oxidants, anti-wear agents, rust & corrosion inhibitors, friction modifiers, extreme pressure additives, pour point depressants, and others. Viscosity index improvers had a larger share in terms of value in 2020 as compared to other counterparts.

Engine oil is the largest application segment of the lubricating oil additives market. APAC was the largest market for lubricating oil additives in 2020, in terms of value. Factors such as stringent government regulations and increase in automotive production in emerging economies will drive the lubricating oil additives market.

Viscosity index improvers are an important additive to formulate lubricants. These are the polymeric materials formed by polymerization of the appropriate monomers, namely, olefin copolymers (OCPs), poly alkyl methacrylates (PAMAs), poly-isobutylenes (PIBs), styrene block polymers (such as styrene isoprene, styrene-butadiene), and ethylene alpha-olefin copolymers. It helps maintain the viscosity of the lubricants for a longer operating interval and also improves the performance of finished lubricants by providing better fuel efficiency and higher durability. Thinner oils provide less resistance as they are moved throughout an engine, resulting in less energy loss and greater fuel economy. This will be the major driving factor for the viscosity index improvers in the lubricating oil additives market.

The lubricating oil additives market size is estimated to be USD 18.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 20.4 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period. Factors such as increasing demand from the automotive and industrial sector are the major driving factors of lubricating oil additives market. Whereas drive towards alternative fuels, rising competition from unorganized and fragmented market and reduction in the use of metal parts by automakers are the major restraints for the lubricating oil additives. Increasing demand for renewable energy is a major opportunity. Fluctuations in prices of crude oil, rising demand for hybrid and electric vehicles and expensive R&D process to formulate additive package in compliance with stringent environmental regulations remains the major challenges of this market.
