This ranges from macro overview of the market to micro details of the industry performance, recent trends, key market drivers and challenges, SWOT analysis, Porter's five forces analysis, value chain analysis, etc.
Market Drivers
Many lubricant additives contain anti-wear, anti-rust or anti-corrosive characteristics, which prevent damage to coatings and surfaces inside the engine.
Some lubricant additives are also used to maintain the required physical properties (such as viscosity) at all temperatures and operating conditions. This provides adequate flow and viscosity of the engine oil in all situations.
Additives with antioxidant properties aid in slowing down the oxidation process and the build-up of unwanted engine contaminants and oil thickening. They also help in keeping the engine surfaces and parts clean along with controlling deposit mediated engine oil thickening.
Additives with friction or viscosity modifying properties can also help in increasing the fuel economy. This is by decreasing the friction between moving surfaces or allowing favourable viscosity profiles that further provides improved efficiency.
Advanced lubricant additives also benefit the environment as they can aid in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles and also allow the effective use of energy resources.
Market Summary
Based on the type, the market has been segmented as dispersants, viscosity index improvers, detergents, antiwear and antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, friction modifiers and emulsifiers.
On the basis of the end-use, automotive lubricants represent the largest segment. Other major segments covered in the report include metalworking fluid, industrial engine oil, process oil and grease.
On the basis of the distribution channel, the report has segmented the market into institutional and retail.
Region-wise, the market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. Amongst these, Asia Pacific currently represents the largest market.
