“The synthetic oil segment is expected to lead the compressor oil market, in terms of volume, during the forecast period.”
The synthetic oil segment is expected to lead the compressor oil market, in terms of volume, from 2018 to 2023. The dominance of the synthetic oil segment is owing to its high performance in extreme conditions, high drain interval, better viscosity index, higher shear stability, and chemical resistance. Synthetic oils can perform at extreme temperatures; moreover, due to its low volatility, there is reduced oil consumption, oil residue, and deposit formation, which enhance the compressor performance.

“The general manufacturing industry is projected to account for the largest share of the overall compressor oil market, in terms of volume, between 2018 and 2023.”
General manufacturing is the largest end user of compressor oil. General manufacturing includes various small industries such as transportation equipment, metal production, commercial machinery, food & beverage, and rubber & plastic. These industries consume compressor oil during product manufacturing; hence, the use of compressor oil is important in these industries to ensure smooth functioning of the machine. The rapid growth of the manufacturing sector in the developing regions is expected to drive the compressor oil market during the forecast period.

“APAC is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing compressor oil market during the forecast period, in terms of volume.”
APAC is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing compressor oil market during the forecast period due to the high growth of the manufacturing and construction industries in the emerging countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. The domestic and foreign investments in the construction industry have been consistently growing over the past decade in this region. Moreover, the rising investment for infrastructure development in the developing countries of APAC is fueling the compressor oil market in the region.
