Marine Lubricant

Marine Lubricant Market - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Size,
Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018–2025
Marine lubricants are lubricants obtained from the processing of crude oil, used in
various marine ship applications such as engines, hydraulics, and compressors.
These lubricants help maintain low temperatures by dissipating the heat produced
from friction. Lubricants are derived from animal, vegetable, or mineral sources and
are used for facilitating various functions such as extracting contaminants,
preventing wear and tear in all forms, ensuring good bearing operation, completing
gas sealing at piston ring level, preventing corrosion, and reducing friction. Marine
lubricants are mainly used in seashore countries and find extensive application in
shipping and oil & gas industries.

The engine segment accounts for a sizeable share of the market due to its large
application area, and high consumption and requirement of large amounts of
lubricants. On the other hand, growing demand for heat transfer fluids, gears, and
turbines are also expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Marine
lubricants are vital for greater resistance to rust, lower viscosity loss, and greater
anti-wear capacity of an engine
Choice of marine lubricant is largely dependent on machine, application, operating
condition, and environment. Mineral oil is better soluble with additives and offers
enhanced compatibility with seal at low costs. The demand for mineral oil is thus
highest in comparison to other lubricants. Synthetic lubricators are used in extreme
environmental conditions and are relatively more expensive than mineral oil.
Bio-based oils are degradable and thus meet the increased environmental safety
requirement, this has caused bio-based oils to gain more traction over other
lubricants.
Lubricants are available in various viscosities for different equipment function. The
Ship loading capacities are also considered when selecting marine lubricants.
Marine Lubricant Market Outlook - Surging Demand in Asia Pacific
Augmenting Market Growth
Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest market for marine lubricants, followed by
Europe. China, India, and Singapore are among the largest consumers of marine
lubricants. Europe is estimated to be the second largest market for marine lubricants.
Though, the market share of the region is expected to experience a significant
decline due to the shifting of shipbuilding and shipping activities to Asia Pacific. This
shift is due to cheap raw material and low labor costs in countries of Asia Pacific.
The Middle East and Africa have low demand for marine lubricants compared to Asia
Pacific. However, the Middle East being a hub for oil and gas export, relies on
shipping industry for transport of oil to Asian markets. This is expected to accelerate
growth of the market in the region, over the forecast period.
North America and Latin America are witnessing poor growth in the marine industry,
primarily due to energy self-sufficiency and poor port infrastructure, which
discourages shipbuilding operations in these regions.
The infrastructure development and new alternatives technologies for the shipping
industry are the main drivers for the marine lubricant market growth. The demand of
base stock group II over base stock group I provides companies with an opportunity
to target more costumers.
Marine Lubricant Market Challenges –
This industry depends upon the trades between countries over large distances. The
decrease in trades, restrains growth of this industry. Marine lubricants contain sulfur
and nitrogen, which are endanger the aquatic life. This concern has led to stringent
environmental regulations against the use of marine lubricants, this poses as a major
threat for growth of the market. Shell is one of the leading companies in the marine
lubricant market. Other major companies operating in the market include BP PLC,
Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Chevron Corporation, Sinopec
Corporation, Lukoil, Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd, and Total S.A.
