The global syntheticlubricants 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.
