“The global industrial lubricants market is projected to record a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period.”
The global industrial lubricants market size is projected to reach USD 73.3 billion by 2024 from USD 62.8 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 3.1%. The growth is primarily due to the massive industrial growth in APAC and the Middle East & Africa, coupled with the rise in process automation in most of the industries. The factors restraining the growth of this market are the high cost of synthetic and bio-based industrial lubricants.

“Mineral oil was the largest segment of the industrial lubricants market.”
Mineral oil was the largest segment in the global industrial lubricants industry in 2018. The easy availability and low cost of mineral oil-based industrial lubricants are expected to drive the industrial lubricants market in the apparel application. Moreover, this segment is driven by the growing demand from APAC and the Middle East & Africa. However, the mineral oil-based lubricants segment in North America and Europe will register low growth due to the slow economic growth and change in demand patterns.

“Hydraulic fluid to be the largest type segment in the global industrial lubricants market.”
Hydraulic fluid was the largest segment in the global industrial lubricants industry, by product type in 2018. Its low cost mainly increases the demand for hydraulic fluids as compared to other product types, coupled with the rising demand from the construction industry. However, the metalworking fluid segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This high growth is majorly attributed to the rising demand for metal in the automotive industry.

“Construction was the largest end-use industry in the global industrial lubricants market.”
The need for industrial lubricants is high in the construction industry. The rising construction activities, especially in the residential sector of China and the increasing infrastructural developments in India, are expected to fuel the demand for industrial lubricants in the construction industry.

“APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period, in terms of both volume and value.”
APAC is the largest industrial lubricants market. The high growth of the emerging economies and the increasing disposable income in the region make APAC an attractive market for industrial lubricants. The tremendous growth of industrial production and increased trade are primarily responsible for the high consumption of industrial lubricants.

This is driving the industrial lubricants market.
