Construction Lubricants Market Dynamics
Driver: Rise in automation in the construction industry
Automation is the use of construction equipment and technology to automate production processes or systems to boost efficiency by reducing manual labor. As automation increases, mechanical parts of the construction equipment are constantly under motion and load, which asks for a high lubrication requirement for the equipment to work efficiently and properly without any failures. The construction industry uses numerous heavy-load equipment that requires regular lubrication. The increasing cost of workforce and safety requirements is also driving the demand for process automation. Hence, most companies are automating their operations which is driving the construction lubricants market.
Restraints: Technological Advancements
Portable and compact machinery has been introduced in the construction industry, which is gaining popularity. Due to reduced gearbox & hydraulic equipment size and extended drain intervals, lubricant consumption in the construction industry has decreased. Construction industries are using new ideas and technologies like proactive lubricant life extension, optimizing the relube interval, reducing package waste (avoiding the bulk purchase of lubricants to reduce the wastage of unused lubricants), and reducing leakage to minimize the use of lubricants. Such technological advancements in the construction industry are expected to hamper the demand for construction lubricants.
Opportunities: Leveraging the E-commerce industry to increase customer reach
E-commerce is an internet platform where manufacturers and sellers can directly sell their construction lubricants without involving any shop, dealer, or distributor. This platform helps the manufacturers of construction lubricants to cut down the value chain and improve their margins. Several construction lubricants manufacturing companies also started to leverage this revolutionary virtual marketplace to gain a customer base using digital market techniques and online campaigns.
Challenges: Rising raw material prices
The construction lubricants market is significantly influenced by the variation in the crude oil market. In 2021 and 2022, the overall market enjoyed profits as prices of WTI and Brent crude oil covered and went to a high of 84.65 and 123.70 WTI crude oil and for the Brent crude oil 85.76 and 133.18 USD per barrel. As a result, such volatile crude oil prices affected the margins of construction lubricant manufacturing companies in the past three years. The majority of the lubricant products are mineral oil-based, which is sourced from crude oil. Therefore, the prices of lubricant products depend on crude oil prices. The price change has a huge impact on the lubricants market.
Construction Lubricants Market Ecosystem
Prominent companies in construction lubricants market include financially stable and well-established manufacturers of construction lubricants. These key players have been operating in the market for several years and possess state-of-the-art technologies, a diversified product portfolio, and strong worldwide marketing and sales networks. Prominent companies in this market include Shell Plc (UK), ExxonMobil Corporation (US), BP p.l.c. (UK), Chevron Corporation (US), and TotalEnergies SE (France).
Based on base oil, the mineral oil segment is estimated to account for the largest market share of the construction lubricants market
Based on base oil, the mineral oil segment is estimated to account for the largest market share. This is attributed to its lower price and widespread availability compared to synthetic oil. However, synthetic oil is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period because of its superior qualities.
Based on type, the engine oil segment is anticipated to dominate the market
Engine oil segment dominated the global construction lubricants market. This high growth is mainly driven by the frequent replacement of engine oil in various construction equipment and off-road vehicles. Engine oil is mainly used in crankcases and lubrication in various heavy-load equipment in the construction industry. This drives the consumption of engine oil in the construction industry.
The Asia Pacific market is projected to contribute the largest share of the construction lubricant market
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share of the global construction lubricants market throughout the forecast period, in terms of value and volume. According to projections, the region will be a prime location for the construction lubricants business attributed to rise in construction activities, expanding industrial investment, growing population, and the development of its infrastructure in the developing markets of China, Japan, and India.
