Strong Growth Driven by Automotive and Industrial Expansion
The automotive industry continues to dominate the global lubricants market, supported by the surge in vehicle production and sales across emerging economies. According to OICA, global vehicle production increased from 77.62 million units in 2020 to 93.54 million in 2023, directly boosting the demand for automotive lubricants such as engine oils, transmission fluids, and greases. These lubricants play a critical role in enhancing efficiency, reducing wear, and extending vehicle lifespan.
Meanwhile, the manufacturing industry remains another major consumer of lubricants. Applications across metalworking, steel production, and machinery maintenance drive steady consumption. Specialized lubricants such as cutting oils, coolants, and metalworking fluids ensure precision and operational reliability in high-intensity industrial environments.
Market Trends: Rapid Shift Toward Bio-Based and Sustainable Lubricants
One of the most prominent trends shaping the global lubricants market is the rising adoption of bio-based lubricants. Governments and industries are increasingly encouraging eco-friendly alternatives to minimize environmental risks and support circular economy initiatives. Bio-lubricants derived from renewable resources are now expected to comply with OECD biodegradability standards, reducing fossil fuel dependency and improving sustainability performance.
Innovative bio-based solutions such as Synnova, Estolides, and Ester-PAG hybrids, developed by companies like Novvi, Biosynthetic Technologies, and VBase, are gaining traction. Notably, Synnova, produced from renewable sugarcane, is both carbon-negative and biodegradable, setting a new benchmark for sustainable lubrication.
