The global synthetic lubricants market size reached US$ 14.4 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 18.6 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.36% during 2022-2028.
A synthetic lubricant is a chemical substance used for reducing or controlling the friction between two industrial surfaces. It is formulated using artificial base oils and chemically modified materials, such as polyalthaolefin (PAO), esters and polyalkylene glycols (PAGs), and exhibits similar properties to that of petroleum-based products. Some of the commonly available synthetic lubricants include engine, hydraulic, metalworking, compressor, gear, refrigeration, turbine and transmission oils. The lubricant absorbs the heat emitting from the mechanical components and lowers the temperature of the moving parts, thereby enhancing the overall operational life of the equipment. Synthetic lubricants exhibit various advantageous properties, such as minimal energy consumption, high thermal and oxidative stability, volatility and flash points. As a result, they find extensive application across various industries, including construction, mining, oil and gas, textile, food processing, chemical and automotive.
Significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Synthetic lubricants are added to throttle position sensors (TPS) and exhaust gas recirculating (EGR) sensors, which are commonly used for monitoring electronic fuel injection and exhaust emissions. The lubricants aid in minimizing the wear and maintenance requirements of the automotive components. They are also widely used in aircraft to withstand freezing, high-altitude temperatures and excessive heat from the jet engines. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of biodegradable synthetic lubricants with enhanced water solubility and viscosity indexes, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. They are widely used for operating agricultural, mining, fishery, onshore and offshore drilling and subsea robotic systems with enhanced efficiency. Other factors, including rapid industrialization, along with extensive infrastructural development, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
