2022 Worldwide Marine Lubricants Industry Outlook & Forecast Report - Increasing Use of Methanol as Marine Fuel is Driving Growth

DUBLIN, Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Marine Lubricants Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The marine lubricants market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.19% during 2022-2027.

The global marine lubricant market is expected to witness shipments of 2,197 kilotons by 2027. Globally, the demand and adoption of high-performance marine lubricants are high due to the rising concerns about reducing carbon footprints, sustainability aspects, and the introduction of the 2013 VGP regulation and IMO 2020 regulation.

This has led to the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) based on PAOs that enable marine operators to comply with the regulation while reducing the carbon footprint in the shipping industry. This existing and upcoming demand can be broadly classified into base oil type, application segments, and end-user segments.

Marine lubricants are the special class of lubricants that are used to lubricate shipping equipment (such as air compressors, ship engines, piston rings, roller bearings, compressor blades, enclosed gear, and gas turbine systems, among others); that improve the overall efficiency of the engine and equipment operating in coastal areas.

It plays a fundamental part in protecting the machines from rust, corrosion, moisture, oxidation, and breakdown, thus enabling the machine to operate under harsh conditions. Factors such as the demand for higher-performance marine lubricants and the transition from conventional feedstock to modern feedstock (such as base oil and additives) to produce high-quality base stock have contributed to the global marine lubricants market.

The marine lubricant industry has significantly changed due to customers' evolving needs and preferences. Two foremost factors, such as the demand for higher-performance marine lubricants and the transition from conventional feedstock to modern feedstock (such as base oil and additives) to produce high-quality base stock, have contributed to the changing market landscape in the marine lubricant industry.

The established markets of Europe and APAC are expected to witness high demand for high-performance marine lubricant products during the forecast period due to the increasing adoption of 40 BN cylinder oil in marine equipment and the high marine trade. Thus, this offers vendors many opportunities during the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape 

The global marine lubricant market is moderately fragmented, and the degree of fragmentation is expected to accelerate during the forecast period.

There are a significant number of global and domestic vendors across the geographies. Important global marine lubricant market players include TotalEnergies (France), Shell (Netherland), Exxon Mobil Corporation (US), Chevron Corporation (US), Fuchs (Germany), and Liqui Moly (Germany), among others.

The high entry barriers characterize the market due to the mandate policies and standards for improving the overall energy demand and consumption of marine equipment. The market is expected to witness significant changes in raw materials, technology, and ingredient content in marine lubricant products.
