The report highlights key factors driving the market growth, and prominent players and their key developments in the market.
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 higher 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.

Based on base oil, the market is segmented into vegetable oils, animal fats, and others. In 2022, the vegetable oils segment held the largest share of the biolubricants market. 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 during the forecast period.
Emery Oleochemicals LLC, Fuchs Petrolub SE, Carl Bechem GmbH, PANOLIN AG, Renewable Lubricants Inc, TotalEnergies SE, Shell Plc, RSC Bio Solutions LLC, Crevier Group Inc, and Kluber Lubrication GmbH & Co KG are among the key players that collectively hold the majority of the biolubricants market share.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Biolubricants Market
Automotive, marine, agriculture & forestry, mining, construction, food, and pharmaceutical are among the major end users of the biolubricants market. In 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the key raw material supply chains and disturbed manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities in various countries. However, in 2022, the economies started reviving their operations, and various industries resumed business activities. As a result, various industries such as automotive, construction, mining, and metalworking witnessed a recovery in their operations, which bolstered the demand for biolubricants.
