Key product segments analyzed in this study include viscosity index (VI) improvers, pour point depressants
(PPD), detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, and other additives. The others segment includes additives
such as corrosion inhibitors, anti-wear additives, metal deactivators, and extreme pressure additives. The
antioxidants segment was further sub-segmented, based on type, into hindered phenolics, aromatic
amines, and other antioxidants. In 2013, dispersants was the largest segment in terms of volume and
accounted for more than 20% of the market share. Lubricant additives are blended with base oils to
produce finished lubricants. These additives perform different functions to enhance the life and
performance of finished lubricants. High performance by these additives also increases the life span of
machinery and reduces maintenance cost. Lubricant additives are used in industries such as automobile,
marine, aviation, and power.
VI improvers reduce the viscosity of engine oils that results in better performance and lower carbon
emissions. Dispersants prevent formation of varnish, sludge, and other deposits on critical surfaces of
engines. PPDs boost the operational range of engine oils by interfering with the wax crystal growth
patterns. Demulsifiers prevent formation of emulsion by altering the surface tension of the oil. Friction
modifiers are long-chain polar additives that are added to reduce the surface friction of lubricated parts.
Detergents function as chemical cleaners to guard combustion surfaces against harmful deposits and
combustion acids. Antioxidant agents, also known as oxidation inhibitors, can successfully improve
oxidation stability by deactivating catalytic metallic contaminants and by decomposing any formed
reactive hydro peroxides within the oil. Similarly, anti-wear agents, foam inhibitors, rust inhibitors, and
extreme pressure additives are added to impart specific properties to the finished lubricants.
Some of the key players in the lubricant additives market include NewMarket Corporation, Infineum
International Limited, Chevron Oronite Company LLC., The Lubrizol Corporation, and Tianhe Chemicals
Group Limited. These companies compete with each other to increase their market share in the lubricant
additives market. Research and development (R&D) to develop improved products is crucial to capture
market share. It is difficult for a new company to enter the market, as it entails high investments for
production facility and R&D activities. Most companies in the market produce specific additives. Only a few
companies are active in the multi-line lubricant additives business

Lubricants are indispensable for the proper functioning of machinery. Lubricants are typically used to reduce friction and wear & tear between different moving parts of machines. Lubricants aid in reducing the downtime of operating machines and thereby raise the overall productivity. Lubricants provide protection against residual deposition over mechanical parts which aids in increasing the operating lifespan of mechanical parts. They are typically manufactured from base oils, while few additives are also used along with the base oils to give lubricants the desired properties. Lubricant additives are imperative for the proper functioning of lubricants and for increasing their life span. There are different kinds of additives, which are blended with the base oils to produce finished lubricants. The percentage of lubricant additives in the finished lubricants varies depending upon the end-use application. For example, the percentage of additives for steam turbines or compressors varies between 0.5% and 5%, whereas for hydraulic systems the percentage of additives is between 2% and 10%. Types of additives added to the finished lubricants are specific for specific applications. For example, extreme pressure additives are not used in steam turbine oils or compressor oils.
