The increasing demand for oil additives in various applications in the automotive and industrial sectors is driving the growth of the lubricating oil additives market. In terms of value, the global lubricating oil additives market is estimated to be USD 15.57 Billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 17.74 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 2.64% between 2018 and 2023.

Based on functional type, the dispersants segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the lubricating oil additives market in 2018. Dispersants help keep insoluble contaminants and products of oxidation suspended in the oil to prevent sludge formation. Dispersants are one of the major additives in lubricants as they help keep sludge, varnish, dirt, oxidation products, and water in a dispersed form.

Based on application, the engine oil segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the lubricating oil additives market in 2018. This growth is backed by the increasing motorization rate globally and the strong focus of additive manufacturers on research & development activities to formulate efficient additive packages according to the specifications of OEMs.

Based on sector, the automobile sector is estimated to account for the largest share of the lubricating oil additives market in 2018. This can be attributed to the high demand for engine oil from passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and the technological advancements of additives to reduce emission and increase the efficiency of automotive lubricants.

Asia Pacific is estimated to account for a major share of the overall lubricating oil additives market in 2018, due to the large demand for additives from the automotive and industrial sectors of countries such as China, India, and other southeast Asian countries.

However, the fluctuating raw material prices of lubricating oil additives and the increasing use of electric vehicles are expected to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key manufacturers of lubricating oil additives include Afton Chemical (US), Chevron Oronite (US), BASF (Germany), Evonik Industries (Germany), Lubrizol (US), and Lanxess (Germany). Lubrizol Corporation, a major player in the lubricating oil additives market, is a specialty chemical company that operates under two business segments: Lubrizol Additives and Lubrizol Advanced Materials. The Lubrizol Additives business segment produces engine oil additives, driveline additives, and industrial lubricant additives that are used in engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, gasoline and diesel fuel, metalworking fluid, compressor lubricants, and greases. The company focuses on research and development to innovate new products in its additive business segment. In April 2017, the company launched a new additive technology, called Lubrizol PV1119, to provide protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) and premature chain wear.
