The global marine lubricants market has been growing steadily over the past few decades, owing to the expansion of seaborne trade activities. Marine lubricants play a vital role in reducing friction between moving parts and surfaces on marine vessels and offshore rigs. They help prolong the lifespan of engines by protecting their components from corrosion and wear and tear. Advances in additive technology have led lubricant manufacturers to develop high-performance formulations that can withstand extreme pressures and temperatures beneath oceans. The international trade and investment in offshore oil & gas exploration are expected to drive the demand for marine lubricants in the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
The global marine lubricants market is driven by increasing marine trade volumes and the expansion of the global shipping fleet market. International seaborne trade has more than doubled in the last two decades with over 80% of global trade by volume being transported by sea. The demand for marine lubricants is also gaining from the rising energy demand worldwide and increasing offshore drilling and production activities. However, stringent environmental regulations regarding sulphur emissions from ships and the adoption of advanced engine oils that improve fuel efficiency are impacting the sales of conventional lubricants. Market players are investing in science-led innovation to develop environment-friendly bio-based and synthetic lubricant formulations with a lower carbon footprint. The International Maritime Organization's low sulphur mandate implemented since 2020 has created opportunities for manufacturers to provide compliant lubricating solutions and capture more sales in the coming years.
