There are lot of regional players that operate in this market with a primary motive to fulfill the domestic demand.
Growth of the lubricant additives market is overshadowed by several restraints, the primary one, being use of high quality fuels and lubes in developed nations. The high quality lubricants result in longevity of oils, reducing the oil drain intervals. This affects the market for lubricant additives in the developed countries. Another is an economic restraint, which had its impact around the world, mainly affecting developed economies like Europe.
In this scenario, it is extremely important that the players operating in the market remain competitive by adopting top growth strategies. The companies are increasingly expanding their capacity in the Asia-Pacific region to tap the growing lubricant additives demand.
