Industrial Oil Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Industrial Oils Market is expected to exceed the market valuation of than US$ 90.1 billion in 2027 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Industrial oils are petroleum oils that are used for the lubrication of machinery at home or in industries. Crude oils like Baku, Emba and eastern types are used to produce these. Industrial oils can sometimes contain vegetable oils. Industrial oils also contain little mixtures of vegetable oils like castor, mustard, rapeseed as additives and a few thickenings, antioxidant, and anticorrosive dopes used for improving their service qualities. Industrial oils are also constantly being varied and supplemented with new brands, especially synthetic oils like silicon, fluorohydrocarbon and polyester. According to viscosity, industrial oils can be subdivided into light, medium and heavy types. Light oils have the viscosity of 5-10 centistokes at 50 C, these are used to lubricate high-speed, low-load machinery.

The dynamics of the industry are changing in terms of source, as industries are shifting towards biobased lubricants as compared to synthetic or mineral sources which were popular before. According to USDA and other regulatory organizations, when at least 50% or greater amount of material is used in the industrial oil formulation, it is to be considered a bio-based industrial oil. Trade of vehicles and their spare parts is constantly growing and is expected to fuel the growth of automotive oils and greases. The growth of the industrial oils market is directly proportional to the growth of the manufacturing sector. The manufacturing sector is growing due to favorable foreign investments and increasing pool of skilled labors. Additionally, high growth in niche manufacturing sectors like the medical devices and 3D printing sectors is also complementing the industrial oils market growth. Rapid industrialization in the BRICS countries is expected to drive this growth rate in the industrial oils market.
