Automatic Lubrication Systems Market

In large, heavy-duty machines and mining equipment, there is a high of automation to maintain performance levels and minimize or eliminate downtime, which can be supported by automatic lubrication systems. These systems are robust enough to withstand harsh operating conditions, are simple to fit and set up, and are available with a range of different lubricants. Switching to automatic lubrication systems results in significant increase in bearing life, and offers a fast return on investment. These factors help in pushing the growth of the automatic lubrication system market size.

Reduction in Operating Costs Offered by Automatic Lubrication Systems

Utilizing high-quality automatic lubrication systems pays off in many ways. When a system is installed, lubricated equipment will operate nearly maintenance-free, reducing total cost of production and operation. Automatic lubrication systems can decrease lubricant consumption considerably, and are much cleaner than manual lubrication systems.

Higher Productivity Using Automatic Lubrication Systems

Lubrication is a critical aspect in machine reliability. A well-organized and executed automatic lubrication system is a money and labor saving solution. It can save the quantity of lubricant used, extend component life, eliminate downtime caused by improper lubrication, and can increase safety at a manufacturing facility.

High mechanical loads, vibration, moisture, and contamination are all threats to bearing and gear service life. Similar to any mechanical system, moving parts in compressors, pumps, fans & blowers, cranes, generators, valves, thrusters, and shakers need appropriate lubrication to function optimally. Automatic lubrication systems ensure fast and precise lubrication to these components and provide improved productivity.

As such demand is high, which aids in the growth of the automatic lubrication system market.

Integration of Smart Sensors in Lubrication Systems

Integrating smart sensors and monitoring devices into lubrication systems results in added advantages of big data. Machine operators can get early warning of equipment failures by recording the whole lubrication process, and can take precautionary actions accordingly. Versatile and reliable lubrication systems also offer ultrasonic low- and high-level control options. Furthermore, automatic lubrication systems are evolving continually, with the delivery of lubricants being carried out efficiently and easily. Also, automatic lubrication systems are compatible with Android and iOS apps, and have tool-free set-up, all of which offer the opportunity to create a well-organized and easily managed lubrication regime.

Automatic Lubrication System Market – Covid-19 Pandemic Impact

Industrial activities across the world have been adversely affected due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Lockdowns and travel restrictions have led to temporary shutting down of facilities across geographies, which has hit the demand for automatic lubrication systems. As lockdown restrictions ease across the world, projects will get underway, thereby bringing the progress of the automatic lubrication system market back on track; this would take at least a year’s time to get back to normal.

Analysts’ Viewpoint

Developing economies such as those in Asia Pacific are expected to witness strong growth in the adoption of automatic lubrication systems for different applications. As a result, the Asia Pacific automatic lubrication system market is expected to be opportunistic, owing to increasing automation in the industry. The global automatic lubrication system market is projected to witness decent growth over the forecast period, and experience an increase in revenue from US$ 900 Mn in 2020 to US$ 1.4 Bn by the year 2030.
