The global synthetic lubricants market is expected to reach
USD 23.45 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research,
Inc. The rapidly expanding automotive industry, coupled with rising popularity
of synthetic lubricants for automobile applications is projected to propel the
market especially in countries such as South Korea, Brazil, and China.
Synthetic lubricants provide
numerous benefits when used for automotive applications such as excellent
thermal stability and low friction. Rising awareness regarding the advantages
of the product, as opposed to its mineral counterparts, will augment industry
growth over the forecast period. A major application of synthetic lubricants is
their use as heat transfer fluids in heavy machinery and heat exchangers.
Rising industrial sector in Asia Pacific countries will propel product demand
over the forecast period.
Increasing R&D investment by
companies for the introduction and development of improved grades is expected
to fuel demand over the next eight years. However, low cost of mineral oils may
reduce synthetic oil demand thus hampering industry development over the
forecast period. Technological innovations related to anti-slip and flow
properties of these products is expected to have a positive impact on the
market over the forecast period.

Further key findings from
the report suggest:
- The global synthetic lubricants market demand was
around 3,821.8 kilo tons in 2015 and is projected to reach 4,900.1 kilo
tons by 2024 growing at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2016 to 2024.
- PAO (Group IV) based synthetic lubricants was
estimated at over 2,000.0 kilo tons. The compatibility of other mineral
oils with synthetic oils is anticipated to be a major driver propelling
the market. Although ester and PAG-based oils offer significantly better
properties in comparison to PAO based oils, they are relatively more
expensive which has thus resulted in lower market demand.
- Engine oil was the largest application segment valued
over USD 6,000.0 million in 2015. Rising need for high fuel economy
coupled with growing demand for high-quality gear and motor oils is
expected to have a positive impact on the market over the forecast period.
- Asia Pacific is expected grow at a CAGR of over 3.0%
from 2016 to 2024 on account of the growing industrial and automobile
markets in the region. Furthermore, the European region witnessed the
highest growth over the past few years on account of its large automotive
manufacturing base in Germany.
- The synthetic lubricants market is fragmented with
few manufacturers investing heavily in R&D to gain a greater share of
the market. Rising expenditure on the development and introduction of
fire-resistant type hydraulic fluids and food grade oils is expected to be
one of the critical success factors over the forecast period. Prominent
market players include British Petroleum, Valvoline, Chevron, Shell, Exxon
Mobil and Total.
