End users of industrial lubricants include oil & gas industry, manufacturing industry, railway & marine as well as heavy equipment manufacturing. Among these, the oil & gas industry is estimated to capture major share in the global industrial lubricants market. In the oil & gas industry, onshore and offshore activities face extreme temperature variations, resulting in the need for unplanned downtime for maintenance and repair. Lubricants help in maximizing service life of machine components and enhancing energy efficiency.
Additionally, lubricants used in the manufacturing industry help expand the lifespan of bearings and machineries. Thus, production costs, time, and manpower requirement are reduced, and operations become more efficient and reliable.
Collectively, oil & gas and manufacturing industry segments accounted for more than half of the total global industrial lubricants market volume share in 2018.
