Global Polyolesters for Bio-based Lubricants and Lubricant Additives Market: Overview
Polyolester lubricants (POE) are lubricant oils that used in a wide range of application as they can work under varying temperatures, which range anywhere between -75 F to 600 F. The remarkable adaptability of these lubricants, high solvency and dispersibility, good oxidative stability, and low volatility are expected to make a significant contribution to the soaring revenue of the global polyolesters for bio-based lubricants and lubricants additives market. Transparency Market Research states that the global market polyolesters for bio-based lubricants and lubricant additives is expected to be worth US$735.9 mn by 2023 from US$412.9 mn in 2014. During the forecast period of 2015 and 2023, the global market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7%.
The market is also benefitting from the implementation of tougher norms pertaining to emissions. Polyolesters are bio-based lubricants, which makes them fairly clean. Thus, to overcome the concerns about hazardous impact of petroleum-based lubricants, several end users are turning their attention of polyolesters for developing bio-based lubricants and lubricant additives. The market is expected to gain significant prominence in the near future as the world continues to restore the environment by combatting global warming through stringent emission norms.
Trimethylolpropanes to Be Highly Sold Products in Global Market
The various types of products available in the global polyolesters for bio-based lubricants and lubricant additives market are pentaerythritols, neopentyl glycols, trimethylolpropanes, and dipentaerythritols. Of these, trimethylolpropane-based polyolesters product segment is expected to lead the global market in the coming years. The demand for trimethylolpropane is expected to rise due to its widening application over other polyolesters. During the forecast period, this product segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.9%.
Polyolesters are extensively being used in the production of aviation oil, refrigerant oil, metalworking oil, compressor oil, automotive lubricants, industrial gears, industrial greases, and transformer oil. The report suggests that the global polyolesters market is expected to gain importance in the aviation industry in the coming years. As of 2014, the aviation oil application segment held a share of about 30% in the overall market. The progress of this segment will be supported by the increasing concerns about air pollution and tough emission norms. Thus, a shift toward cleaner lubricants and additives is expected to be an emerging trend in the global market.
