India Industrial Lubricant Market- Overview

Industrial lubricants are oil, fluids, greases and other components used for reducing friction between two surfaces or machine components. The reduction of friction contributes to preventing wear and tear on tangible assets, such as machinery, and extends their lifetime. The frequent use of industrial lubricants reduces downtime, decreases maintenance costs, and improves the efficiency of the overall process. Some of the most common lubricants used in the industries are multifunctional oils, rock drill oil, chain lubes, paper machine oils, etc.

India Industrial Lubricant Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Flourishing Manufacturing Sector in India

The manufacturing industry in India is emerging as one of the fastest-growing sectors, and is emerging as the second most sought-after manufacturing destination. This is anticipated to drive the demand for industrial lubricants during the forecast period. Automobile and consumer electronic products are flourishing at a high rate across India. Moreover, the growing production of electric and hydrogen vehicles and the establishment of new plants to expand production capacities are projected to boost the India industrial lubricants market during the forecast period.

Launch of a Wide Range of Products

With significant growth potential in industrial lubricants, market players are increasingly launching a wide range of products at competitive prices. They are also extending their services beyond the sales of goods to cater to the needs of their customers. For instance, Shell Lubricants India recently announced its new Product PLUS Service portfolio, including extended maintenance intervals, reduced maintenance, etc. Thus, the availability of a wide range of products is anticipated to drive the Indian industrial lubricants market during the forecast period.

Restraints

Availability of Fake Lubricants

India's industrial lubricant market is flooded with fake lubricants that are too good to be distinguished from original products. Fake lubricants branded as the originals are available on the market at lower prices. As a price-sensitive market, India is drawn to these products. Hence, the availability of such fake products sabotages the market and acts as a restraining factor for its growth. Although the government authorities are taking strict measures against fake lubricants, the penetration of the products remains high.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Industrial Lubricant Market

The growth of the India industrial lubricant market was negatively halted by the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the number of COVID-19 cases grew in India, a lockdown was implemented to control the spread of the virus. Consequently, industrial operations were halted, which led to a sharp decline in the demand for industrial lubricants. While the government gave exemptions on the operation of essential services and goods, such as medical supplies, food, and pharmaceuticals, including masks and sanitizers, the market remained buoyant during this slowdown period.

India Industrial Lubricant Market - By Product Type

Based on product types, the India industrial lubricant market is categorized into engine oil, transmission and hydraulic fluid, metalworking fluid, general industrial oil, gear oil, grease, process oil, and other product types. Among these, the engine oil segment holds the largest market share because of its expanding demand in the automotive sector. Oils of this type are also widely used to improve the life and performance of machinery in the manufacturing industry. On the other hand, grease also holds a significant market share due to its wide range of applications, such as food processing, medical, etc.

India Industrial Lubricant Market - By End-User

Based on end-users, the India industrial lubricant market is segmented into automotive, industrial, agriculture, and other end-user industries. The automotive industry accounts for the largest share in the India industrial lubricant market. Lubricants, such as engine oils, are prominently used in automobiles to make engines smooth and rust-free. The use of lubricants also improves fuel efficiency and performance. Automobile manufacturing is highly machine intensive, and lubricants are used to enhance the efficiency of the machinery. On the other hand, the expanding industrial sector also covers a substantial share of the industrial lubricant market in India.
