Marine lubricants are broadly used in the shipping industry to help in protecting engines and equipment to enhance the efficiency. These are high-performance fuels mainly designed to allow optimal performance in operations. These have essential characteristics like long engine life and protective components at high temperatures, improving performance and improving protection from mechanical wear, and cold corrosion.
Global Marine Lubricants Market Segments Size & Growth:
Global marine lubricants market is valued for $5.98 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.16% to reach $6.67 billion by 2025 during the forecast period 2019-2025. Major factors that are driving the market growth is due to the increasing demand for marine transport in Europe and Asia-Pacific, infrastructural expansions in the shipping industry, and increasing shipbuilding in APAC. Though, financial instabilities in shipbuilding and slowdown in trade activities are confining the growth of the global marine lubricants market.
Global Marine Lubricants Market Segments Share:
Lubricant type categorises global marine lubricants market into marine cylinder lubricants, trunk piston engine oils, system oils, hydraulic fluids, and others. The marine cylinder lubricants have the most significant share in the global marine lubricants market in 2017. These are necessary high-performance additives for engines and are mainly considered to allow optimal performance in marine processes. These lubricants have various application in vessels with both 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines and 2-stroke engines occupy the dominant share. Hydraulic oils are projected to rise as the fastest growing segment with a CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period. These are used for extending pump life under severe conditions; and consistent air filterability.
On the basics of oil type, it is classified by bio-based, mineral oil, grease, and synthetic. The synthetic segment is likely to grow at the maximum CAGR during the forecast timeline owing
The bulk carrier and tanker segments together valued for the significant share of the global marine lubricants market in 2017, regarding consumption, owing to their vast numbers. The trade carried out mostly comprises the movement of raw materials, crude oil & petroleum, and industrial goods, which are conveyed through these two ship types. Tankers are the critical segment for transport ships and witness substantial gains above 3%. These are commercial vessels which are mandatory to transport chemicals, gasses and liquids in bulk. Growing petrochemical-derived products demand in bulk numbers due to rapid industrialisation and advancements in energy needs should fuel marine lubricants for tanker ships.
By Geography, APAC was the primary market for global marine lubricants in 2017 and is anticipated to lead the marine lubricants market during the forecast period 2019-2025. The APAC marine lubricants market is mostly driven by the existence of the world’s busiest ports in the region in countries like China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Growing trade activities and increasing infrastructural developments in the shipping industry. Germany is one of the biggest consumers of marine lubricants around the world due to its massive merchant navy fleet. Owing to the ruthless competition among several shipbuilding companies, the German merchant fleet has been decreasing since 2012 with a loss of 17% in the overall number of ships. The market is likely to
