Lubricant Antioxidants Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Report Code: CMR 86601 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Lubricant Antioxidants Market Overview

The Lubricant Antioxidants Market size is forecast to reach US$ 2.1 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Lubricant antioxidants such as diphenylamine derivatives, chelating agents, and so on are high-performance additives that help lubricants last longer by improving their oxidative resistance. Antioxidants in lubricants offer excellent corrosion protection, reduce viscosity, remove contaminants, and protect oil at high temperatures. Many synthetic lubricants, such as hydrocarbon-based lubricating oils, are susceptible to oxidation-induced degradation due to the formation of sludge and varnish. These antioxidants reduce the formation of peroxides and reactive free radicals, which are the primary causes of oil thickening, allowing lubricants to operate at high temperatures. Antioxidants for lubricants are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, industrial, and others. Automotive is a market leader in terms of application, as antioxidants-based lubricants are ideal for Internal combustion engines.

COVID-19 Impact

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 lockdown has significantly resulted in a country-wide shutdown, shortage of labor, and the decline of the supply and demand chain all over the world, thus, affecting the market. Studies show that the outbreak of COVID-19 sharply declined the production of automobiles in 2020 due to a lack of operations across multiple countries around the world. According to OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), the production of automobiles decreased by 16% globally in the year 2020, compared to 2019. However, a slow recovery in the automotive industry has been witnessed across many countries around the world since 2021 which is complementing lubricant antioxidants demand.

Lubricant Antioxidants Market Segment Analysis – By Type

The primary antioxidants held the largest share in the Lubricant Antioxidants Market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% between 2022 and 2027. The growing use of primary antioxidants in lubricants, such as aminic and phenolic antioxidants, is primarily due to their superior performance characteristics, such as greater oxidation control and higher additive treat rates than secondary antioxidants. Primary antioxidants are also important in modern automotive lubricants, as tightening fuel efficiency regulations and high standards have created a need to improve lubricant oxidation performance. As a result, because primary lubricant antioxidants outperform secondary antioxidants in terms of performance and oxidation control, an increase in demand for aminic and phenolic antioxidants is expected to continue in the near future. Antioxidants found in primary lubricants are also known as radical scavengers. These help to slow the degradation process by forming more stable radicals.

Lubricant Antioxidants Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The automotive & transportation industry held the largest share in the Lubricant Antioxidants Market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% between 2022 and 2027. The growing population, combined with rapid urbanization, will almost certainly drive the demand for efficient transportation systems. Over the forecasted period, the shift toward the preferred mode of transportation is expected to boost the market growth of lubricant antioxidants. Furthermore, the rising production of commercial vehicles is expected to drive up demand for the product even further. For example, according to International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) publications in 2021, commercial vehicle production increased from 21,787,126 units in 2020 to 23,091,693 in 2021. As a result, the new commercial fleet is expected to drive antioxidant demand such as diphenylamine derivatives, & chelating agents in the coming years, as antioxidants-based lubricants are ideal for Internal combustion engines.

Lubricant Antioxidants Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

The Asia Pacific held the largest share in the Lubricant Antioxidants Market in 2021 up to 38%, as a result of rising demand from the automotive industry. For instance, according to a recent study published by the OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers) during the fourth quarter of 2020, approximately 25 million, 3.5 million, 8 million, and 3.4 million units of vehicles were produced in China, South Korea, Japan, and India, respectively, contributing to approximately 50% of global automobile production in 2020. Similarly, according to the Department of Promotion, Industry, and Internal Trade (DPIIT), the Indian Automobiles market received approximately $ 24.5 million in FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) during the fiscal year ending June 2020. As a result, an increase in demand for automotive production is driving lubricant demand, which in turn is driving the lubricants antioxidant market growth.

Lubricant Antioxidants Market Drivers

Increasing Demand Form Automotive Industry

The increasing importance of antioxidants such as diphenylamine derivatives and chelating agents in lubricants, particularly in automotive lubricants, has contributed to the steady expansion of both primary and secondary variants. Primary lubricant antioxidants, also known as radical scavengers, continue to be in high demand, particularly in the automotive industry, as it is ideal for an internal combustion engine. According to a recent study published by the German Association of Automotive Industry, new registrations of motor vehicles reached up to 16,763 units in Europe, 37,467 units in Asia, 3080 units in South America, 17,421 units in North America, 12,733 units in Western Europe, and 5180 units in other regions worldwide during the fourth quarter of 2020. Similarly, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), EU demand for new passenger cars increased by 25.2 percent between January and June 2021, totaling around 5.4 million units. This growth is influencing Lubricant Antioxidants Market growth.

Expansion of Production Capacity and Advancement in Engine Technology to Provide Attractive Opportunities.

Increased use of biofuels, advancements in engine technology, longer lubricant drain intervals, and better automotive lubricant specifications are all encouraging manufacturers to develop more effective antioxidant lubricants for the automotive industry. Manufacturers of lubricant antioxidants in the market are expected to benefit greatly from this. Manufacturers of lubricant antioxidants will likely benefit from increased global production capacity expansion. For example, BASF SE expanded its lubricant antioxidants manufacturing capacity in Puebla, Mexico, in January 2019.

Lubricant Antioxidants Market Challenges

Changing regulatory frameworks and environmental legislation.

Changing regulatory frameworks and environmental legislation enacted to mitigate the consequences of lubricant specifications can put a strain on lubricant antioxidant manufacturers. To ensure compatibility with new materials, lubricant antioxidant specifications will need to be updated on a regular basis as fuel economy standards and the development cycle of new automotive oils evolve. Antioxidants for lubricants are among the most expensive additives for lubricants. The high upfront costs of implementing lubricant antioxidants technology make it prohibitively expensive for end-users, limiting adoption. The use of lubricant antioxidants in specialty oils and fuels is steadily declining, which is expected to have a negative impact on the market's growth in the future.
