The global lubricant and grease market was valued at $123.8 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $168.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2022 to 2031.

Lubricant & grease is a material that lowers friction between two surfaces in contact, lowering amount of heat generated while the surfaces operate. It may have the potential to transfer forces, move foreign particles, and cool or heat surfaces. Lubricity is a quality that helps to reduce friction.

One of the key drivers of the lubricant and grease market is increased demand from end-use industries. Lubricants are utilized in construction equipment, owing to their characteristics, including anti-wear and resistance to corrosion. Hydraulic fluids are used in earthmoving equipment such as crawler excavators and mini excavators, owing to their high energy transmission capacity. In addition, lubricants and grease are utilized to improve equipment drain/re-greasing intervals, improve lubricating efficacy, enhance friction pair wear resistance, and prolong equipment lifespan. Lubricants and grease are used as hydraulic fluids and compressor oils in the steel industry for various applications. Lubricants are required for equipment, including blast furnaces and continuous castings to decrease downtime, and improve operational effectiveness. Such factors are expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

Growing Demand For Bio-Based Lubricants
A variety of lubricants manufactured from vegetable oils, such as canola, rapeseed, sunflower, palm, coconut, and soybean, as well as animal fat are referred to as bio-based lubricants, bio-lubes, or bio-lubricants. By using bio-based lubricants, storm water pollution caused by brake line, engine, and hydraulic system leaks is considerably reduced. As a result, many European nations have made the use of bio-based lubricants mandatory, particularly in areas with fragile ecosystems. When compared to petroleum-based lubricants, bio-based lubricants perform better and stay longer because they evaporate more slowly and adhere better to metal surfaces. Penalties imposed on the operator in the event of spills or leaks into the environment are substantially lower than those associated with petroleum-based lubricants. These factors have been influencing the adoption of bio-based lubricants across a variety of industries including oil & gas, mining, metalworking, power production, and metalworking. The introduction of various tax incentives supporting the use of bio-based lubricants has been significant in industrialized nations, and developing nations like India and China are expected to follow the trend.
