Market Dynamics

Advancements and Benefits of Synthetic Oil in Lubricants

Industries seeking higher efficiency and productivity, there is a growing demand for advanced, high-performance compressors. Synthetic oils play a vital role in optimizing the performance of these modern compressors. Ongoing research and development in lubrication technology have led to the formulation of advanced synthetic oils with superior properties. The continuous improvement in synthetic oil formulations contributes to their increased adoption in compressor applications.

For instance, on 30 May 2023, a collaboration between global leader of synthetic lubricant technology AMSOIL Inc. and Benz Oil for the growth and development of supply chain management system of industrial fuels that include turbine oil, hydraulic oil, grease coolant, compressor oil. These companies basically focus on customer requirements which drives the growth of compressor oil.

Increased Demand for Petrochemical Products Drives Growth of Compressor Oil in the Industry

Advantages of using compressor oil in the petrochemical industry, in which it prevents from downtime, equipment failures, and also from production interruptions. It also ensuring proper lubrication, and compressor oils help in achieving consistent and reliable operations, ultimately supporting the increased production capacity that required to meet the growing demand for petrochemical products.

For instance, on 14 Jun 2023, the Iranian parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy mentions the need for petrochemical plants and oil refineries in Venezuela. Iran and Venezuela signed MoU for the modernization and growth of petrochemical plants and also the development of equipment for oil and gas compressors and this collaboration aims to leverage Iran's expertise in the petrochemical industry and Venezuela's vast oil and gas resources to modernize and expand the country's energy infrastructure

Breakdown of Oil and Failure in Maintenance

Proper maintenance and monitoring are required for the optimal performance of the compressor. That includes proper oil change from time to time, filtration change and analysis of oil. Due to failure in maintenance which leads to degrade quality of oil and reduce lubrication efficiency. This is cost-effective and time taking process. These factors decrease the growth of the oil compressor market.

Compressor oil undergoes thermal and oxidative stress during operation, which can lead to its breakdown over time. As the oil breaks down, it may lose its lubricating properties and fail to provide adequate protection to the compressor components. This can result in increased friction, heat generation and accelerated wear on moving parts.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The growth in the pandemic caused disturbance in supply chains management system, which include the availability and transportation of raw materials used in the production of compressor oil. Restrictions on trade and the movement of goods has affected the procurement of key ingredients and additives required for manufacturing compressor oil.

Due to the lockdown at global level market witnessed an economic downfall which results in decreasing demand in industrial activities in many sectors. Reduced production and operations in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and automotive resulted in lower demand for compressor oil. Due to this factor, there is a downfall in the growth of the compressor oil market.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact

Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, the supply of raw materials and availability of compressor oil got affected. It also impacted the export and import business of compressor oil which affects the growth of compressor oil. Shortage of these raw materials results in fluctuating prices and delays. Due to these factors, there is a downfall in the growth of the compressor oil market.

Geopolitical tensions and conflicts between these countries lead to increased oil prices. Fluctuations in oil prices directly impact the cost of compressor oil, as it is derived from petroleum or synthetic compounds. Higher oil prices increase the overall cost of production and affect the growth of compressor oil manufacturers.

Segment Analysis

The global compressor oil is segmented based on compressor type, base oil, application, end-user and region.

Advancements in Air Compressor Technology for Transportation Equipment

Transportation equipment includes vehicles and airplanes, which rely on various types of compressors. Oils Compressors are major components used in maintaining the performance and efficiency of these compressors, which ensures reliable operations and optimal functionality of transportation equipment.

For instance, on 30 April 2023, ZF a commercial vehicle solution, launched a high-speed electric air compressor which is for fuel cells. There is an agreement between ZF and Liebherr Group. This partnership will develop advanced fuel cells that utilize air compressor systems. The performance of fuel cells depends upon air supply systems. As liebherr group provides high-speed turbo machinery for air application. This joint venture will increase the growth of air compressors in the transportation equipment sector.

Geographical Penetration

Industries and Manufacturing Plants Drives Growth of Compressor Oil Market in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific has many industry and manufacturing plants that lead the growth in the compressor oil market. Countries like China, Japan, and India have the highest production growth and industries heavily rely on oil compressor sectors such as railways, airports and commercial buildings.

For instance, on 13 Mar 2023, Setral launches special lubricants for the textile industry. The oil compressor used in the textile industry is basically in the form of lubricants. Needle and sinker oils most utilize lubricants in knitting machines. The oil compressor lubricants are major components used for maintaining the reliable operation in various machines used in the textile industry, which includes compressors, hydraulic systems, chains, and bearings.
