Compressor Oils Market
The compressor oils market was valued at $11.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $19.0 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2033.
Compressor oil is a high-viscosity lubricant that reduces friction and heat in air compressors, an equipment used in various industries such as refrigeration, air conditioning, automotive, and manufacturing. In certain types, such as screw or piston compressors, the oil acts as a sealant by securing the clearance spaces between moving parts. The major characteristics of compressor oils are their thermal stability, foam resistance, oxidation resistance, and low pour point.
The growth of the compressor oils market is being augmented by rapid surge in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. These sectors heavily rely on different machinery and equipment, which fuels the demand for compressor oils. Furthermore, the enforcement of stringent energy efficiency standards for different industries has boosted the usage of compressor oils due to their ability to minimize energy consumption of equipment via smooth operations and reduced energy losses. To enhance the sustainability of compressor oils, manufacturers are exploring the formation of these oils from renewable and plant-based sources. Currently at a nascent stage, the development of bio-based oils is poised to become a prominent trend in the future as several industries are focusing on the adoption of eco-friendly practices and solutions to contribute to environmental goals.
However, fluctuations in the costs of raw materials required to develop compressor oils, such as additives & crude oil, affect the overall pricing structure and hamper the development of the market. Moreover, the availability of non-oil-based lubricants presents significant competition to the compressor oils, thereby restraining the market growth. Contrarily, expansion of the renewable energy infrastructure is anticipated to present lucrative opportunities for the compressor oils market as wind energy, solar power, and biogas production primarily rely on compressors to accomplish different processes. The International Energy Agency anticipates the global renewable capacity to increase to over 5,520 GW by 2030. This is expected to open new avenues for the compressor oils market due to projected surge in requirement for compressors to achieve the renewable targets.
