Published: Sep 2017 | Pages: 89 | SKU: IRTNTR14080 |
Overview of the global synthetic lubricants market
Research analysis on the global synthetic lubricants market identifies that the versatile properties of PAG will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this global market will post a revenue of close to USD 39 billion by 2021. PAG-based lubricants are increasingly used in heavy-duty gas turbines. Unexpected shutdowns and process interruptions are the leading causes of higher operational costs and it also reduces power generation capacity. PAG-based synthetic lubricants assist in avoiding unplanned shutdowns and lowers the high costs associated with reduced electrical power generation capacity. Moreover, they also decrease the expenditure on varnish maintenance, improve the overall performance of the operating system, and increase operational efficiency and turbine reliability. These advantages will drive the need for PAG-based synthetic lubricants, in turn, driving the growth of the market.
In terms of geographic regions, EMEA will be the major revenue contributor to the synthetic lubricants market throughout the forecast period. Stringent government regulations in some parts of European countries and the growth of the automotive, machinery, and textile industries, will fuel the growth of the synthetic lubricants market in the region.
