The global biolubricants market is expected to reach USD 2.92
billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.
Increasing passenger car sales in emerging economies is one of the major
drivers of industry expansion in recent years. The favorable regulatory framework
is expected to encourage the production & consumption of bio-based
lubricants over the forecast period. The U.S. EPA has implemented regulations
that require all marine vessels to obtain the mandatory Vessel General Permit
(VGP) for plying in the U.S. waters & also utilize environment-friendly,
acceptable lubricants in all oil-to-sea interfaces.
Various environmental issues
associated with conventional lubricants are driving the demand for vegetable
& plant-based lubricants. The product segment is anticipated to benefit
from the growing demand from industrial & transportation sectors in
developed regions.
Vegetable oil was the leading raw
material used for biolubricants with a commanding share of 88.1% in 2015. They
are also expected to witness the highest growth of 7.6% over the forecast
period.

Further key findings from
the report suggest:
- The global biolubricants market demand was estimated
at over 630 kilo tons in 2015 and is expected to reach 1,115 kilo tons by
2024, growing at 6.9% CAGR from 2016 to 2024
- Increasing cost competitiveness of advanced
biolubricants, specifically on account of high crude oil prices in the
future, is a significant factor driving their demand in automotive
applications
- As of 2015, automotive engine oils were the leading
application segment with demand estimated at nearly 200 kilo tons.
Developments resulting in better oxidation resistance of vegetable oils
and improved functionality are expected to drive the segment growth
- North America was the largest consumer and generated
revenue worth USD 742.5 million in 2015. The region is technologically
mature compared to others such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the
Middle East.
- Regulations have played a huge role in shaping the
consumer base for bio-based products in the U.S. Currently, the U.S.
accounts for nearly 80% of the North American market in terms of volume.
- The industry is consolidated among major players such
as Total S.A., Chevron, British Petroleum, ExxonMobil, and UBL. Versatile
supply chain and presence across different regions are expected to drive
competitiveness.
- Other significant players such as Emery
Oleochemicals, Castrol, Binol Bio Lubricants, Kluber International,
Petronas Lubricant International, Solution Biogen Sdn Bhd., and Albermarle
are actively investing in R&D efforts to develop unique & durable
biolubricants
