The global lubricant additives market size is expected to reach USD 26.41 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The Report ""Lubricant Additives Market, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Dispersants, Viscosity Index Improvers, Detergents, Anti-wear Agents, Antioxidants, Corrosion Inhibitors, Friction Modifiers, Emulsifiers, Others); By Application; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023-2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Detergents and dispersants are additives commonly used in lubricants to maintain engine cleanliness. Detergents prevent the formation of deposits, sludge, and varnish, while dispersants keep contaminants suspended in the lubricant, preventing them from settling on metal surfaces. These additives promote cleaner engines, improve fuel efficiency, and contribute to the prolonged life of the equipment.

Additionally, lubricant additives may include antioxidants, which inhibit the degradation of lubricants caused by oxidation. Oxidation occurs when lubricants react with oxygen at high temperatures, leading to the formation of harmful by-products. Antioxidants help mitigate the effects of oxidation, preserving the lubricant's performance and extending its service life.

Overall, lubricant additives are essential components in formulating high-quality lubricants. They offer a wide range of benefits, including improved viscosity control, enhanced wear protection, resistance to extreme pressure conditions, engine cleanliness, and oxidative stability. By incorporating these additives into lubricants, manufacturers can optimize the performance and reliability of machinery and engines, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and prolonged equipment lifespan.

Research and development activities in the lubricant industry also play a significant role in driving the development of new and improved lubricant additives. Manufacturers invest in continuous research to develop innovative additives that address emerging challenges and offer enhanced performance. This ongoing innovation leads to the introduction of advanced lubricant additives that meet the evolving needs of industries, further fueling their adoption.

Lubricant Additives Market Report Highlights

The dispersant segment is estimated to garner highest market share during the forecast period. The dispersant is one of the necessary additives to form additive packages for both, automotive and industrial segments. It supports suspending the insoluble contaminants in the oil to inhibit sludge formation

The automotive segment dominated the major market share in past years but industrial application is estimated to witness a substantial growth rate during the forecast period. Passenger car motor oil was the dominant segment in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific garnered the highest share in the lubricant additives market in 2020, in terms of revenue, and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to the presence of key players and huge consumer base in the region.

The key market players profiled in the report include BASF SE, The Lubrizol Corporation, Chevron Oronite Company LLC, Infineum International Limited, and Afton Chemical Corporation.
