Market Overview

Lubricants market is the industry comprising the production, distribution, and sale of lubrication oils and greases, that are crucial for reducing friction, heat, and wear in machinery and equipment in the automotive, industrial, and aerospace sectors. A lubricant is a substance that is used to control or reduce friction and wear of the surfaces in contact with the bodies in relative motion. They are importantly used in automotive and industrial applications, not only to reduce friction between moving elements but also to help prevent corrosion and oxidation and maintain thermal stability in industrial parts. There is a growing demand for automotive lubricants, such as engine oils, transmission fluids, and greases, due to rising vehicle ownership and production. The development of bio-based lubricant or bio-degradable lubricants by the key market players due to environmental concerns is offering growth opportunities in the lubricants market.
