[ 170 + Pages Research Report ] Bio-Lubricant Market to surpass USD 4.8 Billion by 2032 from USD 2.87 Billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 4.9% in the coming years, i.e., 2022-32. 

Product Overview

Bio-lubricants are lubricants that are quickly biodegradable and non-toxic to people and other living things, especially in aquatic environments. The standard for examining a substance's eco-friendliness is its ability to degrade, which offers information about its persistence in the environment. Machines require grease and oil to function, but nowadays there are bio-lubricants made from plant and vegetable oils that are a more eco-friendly option than the more conventional fossil fuel-based goods. Bio-lubricants are created by heating the biomass feedstock without oxygen, a process known as pyrolysis, or by partially combusting the feedstock in a low-oxygen environment to create an oil-like liquid. Other bio-lubricants and oil-based products are made from this bio-crude oil once it has undergone additional refinement.

Market Highlights

The Bio-Lubricant Market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 4.9% in 2032.

Due to the expanding use of chemicals in the manufacturing and transportation sectors, the demand for bio-based lubricants is anticipated to develop significantly over the forecast period. The bio-lubricants market is rising primarily as a result of increased environmental consciousness and understanding, stricter regulations, and industry adoption of bio-based lubricants.

Bio-Lubricant Market: Segments

The Vegetable Oils segment is expected to grow with a higher CAGR during 2022-32

Bio-Lubricant market is categorized on the basis of Raw Materials into Vegetable Oils, Animal fat, and Others. The market for bio-lubricants is anticipated to be greater in the vegetable oil category in the future. Vegetable oil holds the larger market share due to its high biodegradability, low toxicity, and high lubricity. The abundance of vegetable oil seeds, which are used as raw materials, might also be the reason for the rise of the segment.

The Automotive Bio Lubricants segment is expected to grow with a higher CAGR during 2022-32

Bio-Lubricant market is categorized on the basis of End Use into Automotive Bio Lubricants, Marine Bio Lubricants, Aviation Bio Lubricants, and Mining Bio Lubricants. The automotive bio-lubricant category held the larger market share in terms of volume and is predicted to continue growing in the future. Maximizing the lubricant materials' energy efficiency, performance, longevity, and environmental friendliness is a major focus in the industrial and vehicle industries. Bio-based lubricants are prospective replacement lubricants in the automobile sector owing to their low toxicity, high viscosity index, durability of equipment, potent lubricating qualities, high combustion temperature, and other factors.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The Growing Acceptance of Bio-Lubricants as Substitute of Petroleum-Based & Mineral-Based Oils

The bio-lubricants market is rapidly expanding due to the widespread acceptance of these products as alternatives to oils with a petroleum base. This change aims to alleviate environmental worries and also helps in resolving associated problems. Animal and plant oils are used as renewable raw materials in manufacturing. It is well known that lubricants made from vegetable oil have a number of sustainable and environmental benefits over their petroleum-based competitors. Also, they are more cost-effective and biodegradable to a greater extent. Another advantage that is boosting demand for market operations throughout the forecast period is the renewable nature of bio-lubricants.

Benefits of Bio-Based Lubricants over Petroleum-Based Lubricants

Unlike petroleum-based lubricants, which typically cause skin inflammation, bio-based lubricants do not do so. Moreover, they offer a number of benefits like less energy consumption, lower labor costs, enhanced worker safety, improved environmental conditions, longer machine life, and higher productivity, all of which contribute to market growth.

Restraint

High Costs of Bio-Lubricants and Lack of their Lubricating Properties

The market is being restricted by the high cost of bio-lubricants and their lack of lubricating characteristics, which is the biggest issue facing manufacturers of bio-lubricants. The biodegradability of vegetable oil-based lubricants makes them an excellent substitute for traditional lubricants. However, their direct use as base oils is constrained due to their poor low-temperature and oxidative properties, which result in greater costs, pollution, and biodegradability losses. It is therefore extremely difficult to create cost-effective bio-lubricants with a cutting-edge blend of biodegradability and excellent lubricant properties. The cost of these lubricants is a substantial obstacle for the market for further activities.

Recent Developments

  • In order to collect spent cooking oil from more than 300 nearby restaurants, Neste, a renowned oil refiner, will collaborate with Hesburger, a well-known restaurant chain in Finland, in the beginning of October 2021. This will be employed in the creation of renewable diesel and bio-lubricants. Also, the restaurants will employ Neste's MY Renewable Diesel in its fleet of vehicles throughout Finland.
  • Eni, an Italian integrated energy company, intends to establish a production facility for alternative sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in October 2021. The company aims to increase its current capacity for bio-lubricants, which is roughly 1.1 million tons annually, by a factor of two over the next four years, increasing it to 5–6 million tons annually by the year 2050. In light of the market conditions and current developments, Biojet is predicted to play a significant role in the product mix. By the year 2030, the company hopes to have a production capacity of roughly 500,000 tons/year for bio-jet.
  • In March 2020, Royal Dutch Shell declared its intention to increase the size of the lubricant production facility in Indonesia's Marunda Center. The primary goal of this growth is to increase the plant's capacity to handle up to 300 million liters of lubricant production and, as a result, maintain a proper supply chain system between suppliers and customers, especially during the forecast period.
