The biolubricants market is expected to grow from US$ 1,551.15 million in 2022 to US$ 1,902.41 million by 2028; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2028.

Biolubricants are made from oils derived from vegetables and other renewable resources, including animal products. Biolubricants are biodegradable and nontoxic for humans and aquatic environments. Biodegradability of biolubricants plays a vital role in applications which have a high risk of leaking into the environment. In addition, biolubricants have higher flash points, constant viscosity, and less oil mist/vapor emissions and offer increased safety. Biolubricants also produce fewer emissions and have superior adhesion to metal surfaces. They are used in various applications, including engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, chainsaws, greases, and 2-stroke speedboat engines. Biolubricants are highly used in various end-use industries such as automotive, marine, agriculture & forestry, mining, construction, power transmission, food, and pharmaceuticals.

The biolubricants market growth is attributed to the growing demand for biolubricants from various end-use industries due to increased environmental consciousness, strict environmental laws mandating the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants, and the high disposal expense of the existing non-degradable lubricants. In many countries, there are regulations that forbid the use of mineral oil-based lubricants around inland waterways. Such regulations are driving the demand for biolubricants for various applications. Further, since biolubricants are clean and nontoxic, their use has been mandated in highly sensitive applications such as forestry and marine in some countries across the world. In marine applications, biolubricants are used in different sections and processes of containers, cargo fleets, oil tankers, and other ships for lubrication purposes. Marine biolubricants consist of engine oils, hydraulic oils, compressor oils, slideways oils, gear oils, heat transfer oils, greases, turbine oils, and others. Further, the global seaborne international trade growth has propelled the demand for biolubricants, as they have high efficiency and low emission capacity. Thus, increased use of biolubricants from the marine industry will offer lucrative opportunities for the biolubricants market during the forecast period.

Market Insights

Increasing Demand from Automotive Industry Drives Biolubricants Market Growth

Engine oils, transmission fluids, gearbox oils, brake and hydraulic fluids, and other automotive oils are used in the automobile & transportation industry. Biolubricants are used as antifriction and heat-absorbing media and lead to smooth and reliable functions/operations, reducing the risks of frequent failures that help enhance the durability/life-cycle of the vehicle. Automotive lubricants are utilized to reduce friction and moderate the heat produced when two surfaces are in mutual contact. Furthermore, bio-based engine oils display a higher inherent biodegradation rate, low toxicity to aquatic organisms, and very low levels of bioaccumulation. Further, replacing hydrocarbon-based oils with biodegradable products is one of the ways to reduce the adverse effects of lubricants on the ecosystem. With increasing regulatory pressure on improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, there has been a remarkable development in oil lubricant formulations. These factors are boosting the demand for biolubricants in the automotive industry.

Base Oil Insights

Based on base oil, the biolubricants market is segmented into vegetable oils, animal fats, and others. The vegetable oils segment held the largest share of the market in 2022. Vegetable oils are preferred alternatives to mineral oils for lubricant base stocks because of certain inherent properties, including high viscosity, high boiling range, and biodegradability. Fatty acids in the oil can be chemically modified to form high molecular weight esters, which can substitute conventional mineral oil-based lubricants. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the market for the vegetable oils segment.
