Growth in the automotive industry is fueled by rising consumer demand, technological advancements, and increased investments in electric and autonomous vehicles. Lubricant filtration ensures optimal engine performance and longevity by removing contaminants from the lubrication system. For example, in October 2025, Statistics Canada reported that in 2024, a total of 26.8 million road motor vehicles were registered in Canada, representing a 4.2% increase from the previous year. Therefore, the growth of the automotive industry is supporting the expansion of the lubricant filtration market.

Leading companies in the lubricant filtration market are concentrating on developing advanced technological solutions, such as hydraulic and lubrication filtration technology, to improve performance and meet evolving industry needs. Hydraulic and lubrication filtration technology involves methods and equipment designed to remove contaminants from hydraulic fluids and lubricants, ensuring optimal system performance and longevity. For instance, in April 2023, Todd Technologies Inc. (TTI), a US-based filter breather manufacturer, introduced the SmartFlow Media Technology and PowerGuard SmartFlow Filter Element Line. This technology addresses issues such as initial pressure drop, varying viscosity, and high temperatures that affect hydraulic and lubrication systems, enhancing filtration efficiency and extending the lifespan of hydraulic and lubrication fluids.

In September 2023, The Timken Company, a US-based manufacturer of engineered bearings and industrial motion products, acquired Des-Case Corp. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at strengthening Timken’s commitment to improving machinery reliability and efficiency while expanding its industrial motion portfolio with complementary filtration solutions that align with its existing automatic lubrication systems. Des-Case Corp., based in the US, specializes in contamination control products for industrial lubricants and fluids.
