Lubricants Market In India: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing demand from end-user industries is notably driving the lubricants market growth in India, although factors such as fluctuations in crude oil prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the lubricants industry in India. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Lubricants Market Driver in India

The increasing demand from end-user industries is one of the key drivers supporting the lubricants market growth in India. In the construction industry, lubricants are used in construction equipment owing to their anti-wear characteristics, resistance to corrosion, and others. Hydraulic fluids made from lubricants are used in earthmoving equipment such as crawler excavators, mini excavators, and others because of their excellent energy transmission capacity. Additionally, they are also used to increase the drain/re-greasing intervals of the equipment, lubrication efficiency, and the wear resistance of friction pairs, as well as to enhance the lifespan of the equipment. They are used as hydraulic fluids, compressor oils, and others in the steel industry for various applications. Equipment such as blast furnaces, continuous castings, and others require lubricants to reduce downtime and increase operational efficiency. Such factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.

Key Lubricants Market Trend in India

The rising adoption of synthetic lubricants is another factor supporting the lubricants market growth in India. Synthetic lubricants that offer better performance can be against corrosion & oxidation. They have resistive to a wide range of temperature from -60°C to a high temperature like 450 °C and more. It also increases the service life of lubricants by 4-8 times longer than petroleum lubricants. Significantly, they have better performance when compared to mineral lubricants. Using synthetic lubricants result in longer machinery life because less wear results in more production during the life of machine and tools. Thus, the adoption of synthetic lubricants will significantly increase lubricants' market share growth during the forecast period.

Key Lubricants Market Challenge in India

The fluctuations in crude oil prices is hindering the lubricants market growth in India. The increasing prices of crude oil in India have adversely affected the manufacturers and end-users. Fluctuations in crude oil prices are a major factor that causes volatility in raw material prices. Synthetic lubricants are primarily derived from hydrocarbons which is derived from petroleum. Synthetic esters, PAOs, phosphate esters, glycols, and other silicate esters obtained from petroleum are a few other major sources of construction lubricants. Volatility in raw material prices can hinder the growth of the lubricants market in India as it adversely affects the supply and profit margins of manufacturers.
