Lubricant Additives Market Outlook 2025 to 2035 Growth Insights with Chemtura Corporation, Dover Chemical Corporation, Croda International PLC, Infineum International, Lubrizol, Evonik, Chevron Chemicals, BRB International, BASF SE, and Afton Chemical Cor

A new market analysis forecasts the global lubricant additives market to grow from USD 14.7 billion in 2025 to USD 23.1 billion by 2035, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% over the forecast period. This robust growth trajectory is being fueled by an industry-wide push for high-performance lubricants, increasingly stringent global emission standards, and the transformative shift toward sustainable and synthetic base oils.

The report highlights that dispersants will remain the dominant function type, holding an estimated 29% market share in 2025 due to their critical role in preventing engine sludge and maintaining cleanliness. The automotive sector, which is projected to account for 52% of the market in 2025, will continue to be the primary consumer of these additives, with demand being driven by both the needs of advanced internal combustion engines (ICE) and the unique requirements of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs).

Competitive Landscape: Strategic Moves for a Changing Market

The lubricant additives market is highly consolidated, with key players like The Lubrizol Corporation, Infineum, Chevron Oronite, Afton Chemical, and BASF SE leading the charge. Competitive strategy is increasingly focused on innovation that addresses emerging market needs, particularly in sustainability and electrification.

• Lubrizol is actively targeting regional demands with specialized products. In a move to address China's diverse driving conditions and emissions standards, the company recently launched MF9145V, a new diesel additive designed to reduce diesel particulate matter (DPM) and optimize fuel combustion.

• Infineum has been expanding its global footprint to meet burgeoning demand, particularly in Asia-Pacific. The company's new production and blending plant in Zhangjiagang, China, reflects a strategic commitment to strengthening its presence in a key growth market and meeting evolving regional regulations with its low-sulfur additive ranges.

• Chevron Oronite is solidifying its position in the base oils segment, which is fundamental to all lubricant formulations. The company's focus on its Group II and III base oils portfolio ensures compatibility with new additive packages while providing the foundation for fuel-efficient and high-performance lubricants.

• Afton Chemical is also heavily investing in its production capabilities in high-growth regions. The expansion of its Asia-Pacific production footprint is a direct response to the region's rapid industrialization and increasing vehicle ownership, positioning the company to capitalize on the rising demand for advanced automotive and industrial lubricant solutions.

These companies are not only competing on product performance but are also investing heavily in R&D to meet future challenges, such as the need for specialized fluids for EV battery cooling and high-performance greases for electric motors.

Challenges & Opportunities: Navigating the Road Ahead
While the market presents significant opportunities, several challenges must be addressed. Stricter environmental regulations from bodies like the EPA and ECHA are pushing manufacturers toward low-sulfur, ash-free, and biodegradable additives. This, coupled with raw material price volatility, is driving innovation.

The shift toward sustainable solutions is creating a major opportunity. Research is accelerating on bio-based additives derived from renewable feedstock, such as plant-derived esters. These innovations are enabling the industry to develop products that not only meet performance standards but also align with global eco-design goals.

Regionally, Asia-Pacific and North America are expected to be the key growth engines. Countries like the United States and South Korea, with their robust EV manufacturing ecosystems and strong regulatory pushes for fuel efficiency, are driving demand for next-generation additives. Similarly, the European Union's focus on green chemistry and circular economy initiatives is creating a strong market for sustainable, bio-based solutions.
