Lubricant Additives Market, the lubricant additives
market is poised to reach $17,153 million by 2022, with a CAGR of 2.6% during
the forecast period. The dispersants and viscosity improvers segment leads the
lubricant additives market with more than three-fourths of the market share.
Automotive lubricant additives application segment accounted for more than
two-thirds of the market share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% (in
terms of volume) from 2016 to 2022.
Lubricant additives are helpful in optimizing the
performance of lubricants and other functional fluids, as these addendums
provide protection from corrosion and wear in conjunction with regulating
deposits and fluid thickness. The key elements that drive the lubricant
additives market growth include, rising automotive industry, increasing
transportation by marine & aviation and stringent emission regulations.
However, higher drain intervals of high grade lubricants inhibit the market
growth, owing to lubricant solutions with decreased maintenance, costs and
servicing.
Heavy duty and passenger car lubricants segment
dominated the automotive lubricant Additives market in 2015, generating more
than four-fifths of the market share collectively. These segments are estimated
to grow with a CAGR of 2.4% and 2.6%, respectively, during the forecast period.
Metalwork fluids and industrial engine oils accounted for more than 80% in
2015. Among different types of lubricant additives, anti-wear agents are
expected to grow with a highest CAGR of 3.8%, owing to the enhanced mileage and
emission standards expected from OEMs by governing bodies.
