The aviation lubricants market includes lubricant manufacturers that produce and supply aviation grade lubricants to the aviation sector. The market is estimated at USD 804 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1,082 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2027. Since air breathing engines require proper lubrication to ensure efficiency and prolong the lifetime of components by reducing the wear and tear of moving parts. In case of insufficient lubrication to the bearings, the bearings can score, seize, and even burn in extreme scenarios. This necessitates the careful selection of lubricant based on the design of the equipment and the operating conditions. Even the aviation lubricants that are being manufactured by the market players are designed so as to withstand a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and speeds that the lubricant is exposed to under normal operating and storage conditions.

“Based on Type, the engine oil segment of the aviation lubricants market is estimated to dominate market share during the forecast period.”
Based on type, the engine oil is projected to dominate market share during the forecast period due to their application in the engines to keep them lubricated, cool, and free from external contaminants.

“Based on Technology, the synthetic lubricant segment is estimated to lead the aviation lubricants market in 2022.”
Owing to their superior performance parameters, as compared to their mineral-based counterparts, the synthetic lubricant segmented accounted for 73% of the total market in 2022 and is projected to hold its dominance in terms of market share during the forecast period.

“North America is estimated to lead the aviation lubricants market in 2022.”
North America is estimated to be the largest market for aviation lubricants in 2022.
