The global bio-lubricants market was estimated at USD 2.47 Billion in 2017, and is projected to reach USD 3.36 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.4% during the period. The bio-lubricants market is projected to grow at a healthy growth rate during the next five years and is driven by increasing consumer awareness about the environment and stringent governmental regulations. The report analyzes the market based on base oil type, end-use industry, application, and region. It also covers the market behavior of leading producers, key developments, and strategies implemented to sustain and succeed in the market.

On the basis of base oil type, the bio-lubricants market is segmented into vegetable oil-based, animal fat-based, and others (bio-based synthetic esters). The vegetable oil-based bio-lubricants segment accounted for the largest share of the overall market, in terms of value and volume, in 2016. Vegetable oil-based bio-lubricants find use in multiple applications and are produced in significant quantities worldwide. Vegetable oils provide better oxidative stability and technical performance than animal fats. In some countries, vegetable oil-based bio-lubricants are preferred over animal fats based bio-lubricants due to concerns for wildlife conservation. Many countries are increasing the production of vegetable oils for the production of bio-lubricants. The significant production of vegetable oils in the APAC region provides substantial potential for the development of the bio-lubricants market in the region.  

Bio-lubricants have applications in hydraulic fluids, metalworking fluids, chainsaw oils, mold release agents, two-cycle engine oils, gear oils, greases, and others. Hydraulic fluids are the largest application segment of bio-lubricants. Hydraulic fluids are used in both, stationary and mobile equipment, such as hydraulic elevators, sweepers, garage trucks, fork lifts, motor graders, and front-end loaders. The high volume consumption of bio-lubricants in hydraulic fluids is due to the issue associated with the disposal of hydraulic fluids into the environment. Bio-lubricants are preferred for use as hydraulic fluids in areas where contamination can harm the environment. The demand for environment-friendly hydraulic fluids is driven by stringent regulations in sensitive areas such as marine and forest eco-systems.

The end-use industries of bio-lubricants include industrial, commercial transport, and consumer automobile. The industrial segment accounted for the largest share of the overall market. Environmental regulations on the disposal of lubricants into the environment, ecolabels, and tax incentives for the use of bio-lubricants make the industrial segment the largest user of bio-lubricants.

Globally, Europe led the bio-lubricants market in 2016, whereas the market in North America is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, in terms of value, during the forecast period. North America is projected to be the largest market by 2022. Europe leads the demand for bio-lubricants due to the presence of countries, such as Germany, France, Finland, Norway, Italy, and others where environmental concerns are addressed through various emission standards and the use of biodegradable products.

The major restraints in the market are identified to be lack of sufficient regulatory mandates in the APAC and higher prices than petroleum-based lubricants. Market leaders, such as Shell (Netherlands), BP (UK), ExxonMobil (US), and Kluber Lubrication (Germany) have a strong brand image, in both, petroleum-based products as well as bio-based products. Stringent regulations in Europe are expected to be beneficial for market players as they continue to use growth strategies, such as new product developments and agreements & collaborations to increase the penetration of bio-lubricants.
