Growing Transportation And Industrial Sectors To Drive Growth In The Lubricants Market – Ken Research

Lubricant is a substance that is primarily used to improve smoothness and reduce friction between surfaces in close immediacy and moving relative to each other. other. Lubricant is obtained by blending the base oil produced from the distillation of crude oil with additives. The mineral base lube oil is produced by petroleum refinery processes and additives, which are then blended with the base oil to improve the chemical and physical properties of lubricant. The quantity of additive content for a finished lubricant depends upon the product applications and desired performance requirements. Asia-Pacific has been the largest consumer of lubricants due to the high demand in automobile and industrial production. Followed by Asia-Pacific is the European region, which accounted second highest lubricants demand worldwide.

Base oil is the most commonly used lubricant due to its wide range of applications. The two basic categories of base oil available are mineral oils and synthetic oils. Mineral oils are obtained from crude oil, while synthetic oils are manufactured from polyalphaolefins, which are hydrocarbon-based polyglycols or ester oils. Since mineral oils are comparatively inexpensive and can be produced in a wide range of viscosities, they are the most widely used category. Mineral oils possessing different viscosities can also be blended together to improve their performance.

Base oil is one of the components that are derived from raw petroleum, which is obtained in many varieties ranging from a yellow-to-black, flammable, liquid mixture of solid asphalt-such as hydrocarbon chains.

The global market for lubricants has been majorly dominated by few oil and gas multinational corporations. Major companies operating in the global lubricants market include Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil, British Petroleum (BP), Total, Chevron and Fuchs amongst others. The growing transportation and industrial sectors in Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa regions are expected to drive the growth in the lubricants market. However, volume growth will be restrained in North America and Europe due to increasing demand for premium products and the increasing adoption of bio-lubricants. This trend will adversely affect the pace at which the overall market will grow.

MENA lubricants market is not countered by any specific government regulations that can be considered as an entry barrier. However, an effective distribution network, strong brand presence, massive investments in infrastructure and technology, constitute some of the significant entry barriers in the MENA lubricants market, making it difficult for new players to enter the market. Additionally, there are certain general requirements that every industry must follow in order to establish their product in the competitive environment. These requirements are largely in the form of API specifications, base oil quality, environmental concerns and few others as well. There are different ways in which a player can blend the products in the local market. The very first method is to set up its own production facility which requires significant investment which every new player may not be able to afford.
