global extreme pressure lubricant additives market size was valued at approximately USD 1 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2032, growing at CAGR of about 6.5% during the forecast period.

Lubricating oil additives refer to substances used primarily to improve the performance of operating fluids and lubricants. Each additive is added to enhance the combined effect of one or more additives. Most such lubricant additives are used in automotive engines, which include other applications such as transmission oils and hydraulic fluids.

The global lubricant additives market has seen strong growth due to the increasing demand from the automotive industry, mainly for engine oils, gear oils, gear oils and automotive hydraulic fluids. In addition, increasing sea and air traffic and improved emission control along with fuel economy standards are driving the extreme pressure lubricant additives market growth.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a rapid impact on the automotive lubricants sector as well as the worldwide interconnected automotive industry. Shipments of Chinese items have been disrupted, as have large-scale production delays throughout Europe and the closure of assembly plants in the United States. Automobile manufacturing and assembly have fallen, as has the demand for lubricants used in the manufacture of automobiles such as cars and passenger vehicles.

LATEST TRENDS

"Growing Demand For Multifunctional Lubricant Additives to Drive Market Growth"

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Automotive, Industrial Machine, Others. The automotive segment led the world market in 2022. Due to the lubrication of automotive transmissions, engine oil and hydraulics require extreme pressure additives to function properly under high pressure. The automotive segment is expected to lead the global market with the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Demand For Improving The Quality Of Industrial Lubricants Augments The Market Growth"

Rapid urbanization and increasing consumer demand for raw materials is leading to an expansion of the industrial production base, which in turn is increasing the demand for lubricating oil additives. Industrial oil additives for lubricants are available in various viscosities and ISO grades to meet different application requirements. Applications range from long term, high and low temperature, outdoor marine environments as well as applications that may occasionally come into contact with food and require very low toxicity lubricants. Increasing use of additives in OEM-specific lube oils to improve fuel economy and reduce viscosity is increasing industry share. The demand to improve the quality of industrial lubricants is a major driving force for the lubricating oil additives market. Consumers prefer higher quality products that can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures mainly because of their longer durability and shelf life and better performance of machinery and equipment. Most industrial lubricants focus on developing products that are anti-foam, anti-oxidation, waterproof, anti-rust and non-toxic. Using high quality industrial lubricants is a cost saver as it reduces the frequency of lubricant changes.

"Growing Demand From The Automotive Industry Foster Market Growth"

Growing sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are driving the market growth. Lubricating oil additives are used in the automotive industry mainly in engine oils, gear oils, gear oils and hydraulic fluids. The global lubricant additives market is driven by growing demand from the automotive industry. Growing sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are driving the automotive lubricant additives market. Lubricating oil additives are used in the automotive industry in engine oils, gear oils, gear oils and hydraulic fluids. The number of cars in the world has increased in recent years due to huge living standards, per capita income and changing consumer choices. Moreover increasing sea and air traffic and improved emission control along with fuel economy norms are also boosting market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Fluctuating Prices of Raw Materials to Potentially Impede Market Growth"

The additive package is a combination of different functional types such as dispersants, viscosity index improvers, detergents, anti-wear agents, antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, friction modifiers, emulsifiers, extreme pressure additives, PPD and others. Different additive formulations rely on different chemicals and the price varies from supplier to supplier. In 2017, BASF stated that the company plans to increase the cost of lubricant additives, base stocks and finished lubricants by 5-9%, depending on the product, and also mentioned that the price changes are necessary due to the increase in costs on raw materials, transport and regulatory policies. Therefore, fluctuating prices of raw materials are considered as one of the restraining factors in the lubricating oil additives market.
