Lubricating oil additives market forecast at $21.80 billion by 2030
New York, NY – Lubricating Oil Additives Market is projected to be worth USD 21.80 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.87% during the forecast period (2021 – 2030).
Chemical compounds added to lubricating oil to give new properties or improve the existing properties of the base oil are known as lubricating oil additives. Some additions also aid in the suppression of the base oil’s unwanted qualities. These additives are mostly used in the automotive sector to ensure that the engine, transmission, and other components operate safely and efficiently. Furthermore, this product is employed in compressors and refrigeration systems to extend the machine’s life. Anti-foaming agents, corrosion inhibitors, and antioxidants are additions that improve the lubricating oil’s current properties, whilst pour-point depressants and viscosity index improvers help decrease the base oils’ unfavorable features. Detergents, extreme-pressure additives, and emulsifiers also give the base oils additional qualities.
During the projected period, the growing demand for additives in the automotive industry is expected to propel market expansion. These additives improve the qualities of lubricants, allowing the engine to run more efficiently and economically. Furthermore, these substances protect against corrosion, enhance viscosity index, and function as antioxidants to extend the life of the hardware. In the years ahead, this is likely to increase demand for the product. Lubricating oil additives can also be employed as detergents to keep dirt out of oil compositions. During the forecast period, the diverse uses of these additives are expected to drive market expansion.
