Lubricant
Antioxidants Market: High Performance Additives that Increase Lifespan of
Lubricants
·
Lubricant antioxidants are high performance additives that are
used to increase the lifespan of lubricants by raising their oxidative
resistance. Lubricant antioxidants provide excellent protection against
corrosion, reduce viscosity, eliminate contaminants, and protect oil at high
temperature.
·
Many synthetic lubricants such as hydrocarbon based lubricating
oils are prone to degradation due to formation of sludge and varnish during the
oxidation process. These antioxidants lower the formation of peroxides and
reactive free radicals, which is the major cause of oil thickening and allow
lubricants to operate at high temperature.
·
Lubricant antioxidants are of two types: primary and secondary.
Primary antioxidants comprise hindered phenolic and aromatic amines. Secondary
antioxidants comprise phosphites and sulfur-containing compounds such as
thioesters and thioethers.
·
Lubricant antioxidants are employed in various industries such
as automotive, industrial, and others. Automotive is a leading application
segment of the market. The automotive segment can be sub-segmented into
gasoline engine oil, diesel engine oil, ATF, and gear oil, while the industrial
segment can be sub-categorized into compressor oils, hydraulic oils, turbine
oils, and metal working fluids. The others segment can be further split into
greases, base oils, and fuels.
Key
Drivers of Lubricant Antioxidants Market:
·
Rise in demand for primary lubricant antioxidants in the
automotive industry due to their characteristic features such as improved
performance, higher additive treat rates, and greater oxidation control is
driving the global
lubricant antioxidants market. Additionally, implementation of
stringent regulations with respect to maintaining fuel efficiency and standard
across the globe is boosting the demand for lubricants antioxidants.
·
Primary lubricant antioxidants are also known as radical
scavengers. These aid in slowing the degradation process by forming new
radicals that are more stable. Increase in demand for lubricant antioxidants in
order to maximize the protection of the oil against oxidative degradation is
driving the global lubricant antioxidants market.
Production Capacity Expansion and Development in Engine
Technology to Offer Attractive Opportunities
·
Rise in usage of biofuels, development in engine technology,
longer lubricant drain intervals, and improvement in automotive lubricant
specification are encouraging manufacturers to produce more effective
antioxidant lubricants for the automotive industry. This is expected to provide
lucrative opportunities to manufacturers of lubricant antioxidants in the
market.
·
Increase in production capacity expansion across the globe is
likely to provide lucrative opportunities to manufacturers of lubricant
antioxidants. For instance, in January 2019, BASF SE expanded its production
capacity for lubricant antioxidants in Puebla, Mexico.

Stringent Regulations on Synthetic Lubricant Antioxidants to
Hamper Market
·
Poor oxidation stability of natural lubricant antioxidants
expected to restrain the market during the forecast period. Additionally, fluctuation
in raw material prices and stringent regulations on synthetic lubricant
antioxidants may hamper the market during the forecast period.
·
Rise in research activities to improve formulation in natural
and synthetic lubricant antioxidants is anticipated to boost the market in the
near future
Asia
Pacific Dominates Lubricant Antioxidants Market
·
Geographically, the global lubricant antioxidants market can be
segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle
East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America are the leading consumer
of lubricant antioxidants. Rise in demand for lubricant antioxidants to prevent
deposits and foam formation in engine oil, typically for the automotive
industry, is boosting the market in Asia Pacific.
·
Expansion in the automotive industry and rapid industrialization
in developing economies of Asia Pacific such as China, India, and Indonesia are
some of the factors influencing the market positively in the region
·
Demand for lubricant antioxidants in Latin America and Middle
East & Africa is expected to rise significantly due to the increase in
automotive sales and capacity expansion by various automotive manufacturers in
these regions
·
North America and Europe are mature economies. The market in
these regions is expected to expand at a moderate pace during the forecast
period. Implementation of stringent regulations on handling and disposal of
lubricants and increase in preference for bio-based lubricants are likely to
fuel the demand for non-conventional lubricants antioxidants.
