Press release
Industrial Lubricants Market expected to Reach 27.08 Billion Litres by 2030, Driven by Asia-Pacific Demand | Mordor Intelligence
Industrial Lubricants Market
Industrial Lubricants Market Overview:
The Global industrial lubricants market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, rising from approximately 22.82 billion litres in 2025 to about 27.08 billion litres by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 3.48 %.
This growth underscores a shift in how manufacturers and industrial users view lubricants - not merely as commodity fluids, but as engineered formulations that support machine reliability, lower energy consumption, and extend maintenance intervals.
Growth in this sector is supported by increasing industrialization in emerging economies, rising demand from heavy equipment and power generation segments, and a continued push toward higher-performance base stocks and synthetic blends. The industrial lubricants market is gradually evolving, with users expecting more from their fluid supply chain in terms of consistency, eco-friendliness, and tailored performance.

Key Trends in Industrial Lubricants Market
Rising Demand for High-Performance Fluids
Industrial users are increasingly favoring synthetic or semi-synthetic lubricants that can better withstand extreme operating conditions, reduce friction, and prolong equipment life. These fluids tend to deliver more value in high-stress applications such as compressors, turbines, and gearboxes. As a result, formulators are investing in advanced chemistries and additive packages.
Focus on Equipment Uptime and Efficiency
End users are placing higher emphasis on reducing downtime. Lubricants that can extend drain intervals, resist thermal degradation, and suppress corrosion become more attractive. The performance of a lubricant is now seen as a contributor to overall operational efficiency, rather than just a supporting consumable.
Regional Growth Concentrated in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific already commands a leading share in global industrial lubricant consumption, estimated around 47.16 % in 2024, and is expected to continue leading in growth, with an anticipated CAGR near 3.66 % through 2030. Industrial expansion, infrastructure projects, growing manufacturing bases, and increasing energy demand in countries like China and India are driving this trend.
End-User Sector Dynamics
Among end-user industries, heavy equipment holds a major share, accounting for about 29.42 % of industrial lubricants usage in 2024. Meanwhile, the power generation segment is projected to grow fastest, with a CAGR around 4.39 % through 2030, as utilities and independent power producers scale up generation capacity and require reliable fluid systems.
Additionally, hydraulic and transmission fluids are projected to register above-average growth (CAGR ~4.02 %) as more precision machinery and automation systems enter industrial setups.
Shifting Base Stock Preferences
Although mineral-oil based lubricants still hold a large portion of the market, there is a noticeable migration toward synthetic and bio-based base oils. The performance, temperature stability, and longer life of synthetics make them more appealing for demanding applications. This shift is gradual but steady, with formulators adjusting their portfolios accordingly.

Market Segmentation of Industrial Lubricants
The industrial lubricants market can be segmented across several key dimensions. Below is an overview of primary segmentation categories:
By Product Type
* Engine oils (used in stationary engines and backup power systems)
* Hydraulic & transmission fluids
* Gear oils
* Metalworking fluids (cutting oils, coolants)
* Greases
* Other specialty fluids (compressor oils, turbine oils, etc.)
In 2024, engine oils accounted for ~23.74 % of the industrial lubricants market. Among other categories, hydraulic and transmission fluids are expected to see strong growth.
By End-User Industry
* Heavy equipment / construction
* Power generation
* Manufacturing & general industry
* Mining & metals
* Pulp & paper, chemicals, textiles, and others
Heavy equipment is the largest consumer segment, while power generation is the fastest-growing.
By Geography / Region
* Asia-Pacific
* North America
* Europe
* Latin America
* Middle East & Africa
In 2024, Asia-Pacific led with ~47.16 % share and will likely remain the pace setter in terms of volume and growth.
Each of these segmentation axes allows suppliers, investors, and users to understand where demand is concentrated, where growth margins may be better, and which product lines or geographies to prioritize.

Key Players in the Industrial Lubricants Market
The industrial lubricants market is populated by both global majors and regional specialists. Leading global players dominate by virtue of R&D capabilities, formulation range, and global distribution networks. Key names include ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron Oronite (Chevron Products), TotalEnergies, and BP / Castrol. These firms hold strong brand recognition, formulation expertise, and certifications that give them advantage in large industrial accounts.
Regional and niche players also play an important role-particularly in local blending, regional compliance (e.g. environment, taxation, logistics cost), and supply chain responsiveness. These companies often cater to regional manufacturing hubs, and differentiate through close customer support, lab services, and customization.
Partnerships, acquisitions, and alliances remain common strategies as large players seek to penetrate underserved markets or bolster local presence. The competitiveness in formulation, additive sourcing, and base-oil supply further shapes rivalry among these key players.
Conclusion
Growth will be driven largely by demand for higher-performing fluids, rising industrialization in Asia-Pacific, and greater emphasis on efficiency and uptime in end-user operations.Manufacturers and suppliers must adapt by expanding synthetic and bio-based product lines, investing in additive technology, and creating agile regional supply systems. In a market where reliability, customization, and performance are increasingly expected, companies that balance global scale with local responsiveness are better positioned for success.
