Global Bio-Based Lubricants Market (2022 to 2027) - Rising Focus on Environmental Sustanability is Driving Growth - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--()--The "Bio-Based Lubricants Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Bio-based lubricants are natural organic chemicals formulated with organic materials such as vegetable oil (sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, castor oil, and palm oil), animal fats, natural esters, and special additives. These components are environment-friendly, thus release no harmful chemicals on the environment, and are capable of meeting stringent government standards, specifically related to carbon emission, while maintaining high performance.

Bio-based lubricants also offer performance benefits such as prolonging the equipment life and reducing maintenance costs, friction, and energy consumption. Bio-based lubricants are highly preferred in sensitive environments such as forest, mining, marine, wind power, and construction equipment where there is a high chance of oil spill and oil mist which can potentially harm aquatic life and human health.

Key Industry Insights

  • The increasing price of petrochemicals, the depletion of crude oil reserves, and the rising awareness among consumers towards protecting the environment from greenhouse gas emissions are stimulating the demand for the bio-based lubricants market.
  • The stringent regulatory standards of the EU Ecolabel, VGP, IMO, and other regulations (such as Blue Angel and Swedish Standard) to limit the CO2 and other harmful emissions are shaping the demand in the global bio-based lubricants market.
  • Under VGP regulation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandates the regulation regarding oil discharge during the usual operation of commercial vessels in the U.S. territorial waters and the Great Lakes.
  • The regulatory landscape is a significant hindrance for small and medium enterprises scaling up operations. But at the same time, it is driving the industry because these standards and regulations ensure the product's safety, quality, and low toxicity.
  • "The greatest impact in accelerating the growth of biodegradable lubricants has been the development of high-performance synthetic hydrocarbon base oils. This technology is both readily biodegradable and more oxidatively and hydrolytically stable than the ester technology that was used in the past", says Dr. Larry Beaver, Vice President, Research & Development for RSC Bio Solutions.

Competitive Landscape

The competitive scenario in the global bio-based lubricants market is currently intensifying. The rapidly changing technological environment, the trend to reduce carbon footprint, and sustainability scenario can adversely affect vendors as customers expect continual innovations and upgrades. The market is moderately fragmented, with players providing bio-based lubricant products that are readily biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and highly functional.
