According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agricultural Lubricants Market is accounted for $3.13 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.84 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. Agricultural lubricants are lubricants used in agricultural equipment to extend the life of machines and equipment. They are employed in a variety of machinery, including harvesters, tractors, and verge cutters. They are also cost-effective and help to reduce petrol consumption. They ensure the proper running of various devices and equipment because it is vital to productivity.
According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, 58% of the total population in India is farmers. Thus, there is a great market for tractors in India.
Farmers subsidies are being implemented by government agencies in a number of countries. These subsidies are designed to help farmers buy agricultural equipment like as harvesters, power sprayers, paddy transplanters, threshers, tractors, and other similar things. As a result, more modern agricultural equipment is being used, which raises the demand for agricultural lubricants. The rising cost of farm labour will accelerate the growth of the agricultural lubricants market. Furthermore, the growing popularity of high-performance synthetic lubricants and rising farm mechanisation rates are expected to drive market expansion.
Due to the lower agricultural marketing investment leads in lower knowledge of agricultural products such as bio-based agricultural lubricants, which will be a detriment to the agricultural lubricants market throughout the anticipated period. As a result, the agricultural lubricants market growth rate would be challenged. Furthermore, the high cost of synthetic and bio-based lubricants is expected to hinder the agricultural lubricants market's expansion throughout the anticipated period.
Biodegradable lubricating oils have been existed for a long time, although interest has recently increased, owing mostly to market conditions and laws. Many lubricants, including classic mineral oils, are inherently biodegradable. This means that, given enough time, they will deteriorate. They offer superior lubricant than mineral oil, a higher viscosity index than mineral and synthetic oils, a higher flash point than mineral and synthetic oils, and are less hazardous and easily biodegradable. In addition, the growing popularity of bio-based products, particularly in industrialised economies, expands economic potential.
Lubricating oil is emitted into the atmosphere in the form of oil mist and micro-drops, posing a severe threat to the environment. The structure, volume, and frequency of emissions in a specific area, as well as the features of an open cutting tool, all have an impact on the intensity and impacts of oil derivative interactions. Petroleum derived oil creates main dangers in the natural environment for sawing operators, as well as secondary hazards owing to oil accumulation in plants, animals, and groundwater difficulties. Lubricants can potentially be a major danger to aquatic ecosystems. Its contamination with oil-based lubricants is hazardous and has a negative impact on biological life, potentially impeding the agricultural lubricants market.
The corona virus epidemic had a negative influence on the agricultural lubricants market because, due to the deployment of lockdowns in raw material-supplying nations such as China, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the supply chain in the first half of 2020. COVID-19 had little impact on agricultural lubricant demand because agriculture and agricultural-related activities were regarded as essential services in the majority of countries. In the first half of 2020, raw material procurement was one of the market rivals challenges. The aforementioned determinants will affect the market's revenue trajectory during the forecast period.
The Bio-based segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth; due to plant-derived materials such as rapeseed, canola, sunflower, soybean, palm, and coconut are used to make bio-based lubricants. Excellent lubrication, low friction coefficients, low evaporation rate, greater flash point, and high viscosity index are some of the key and advantageous qualities of bio-based lubricants. Aside from microwave-based grease processing technologies, they are also working to improve the chemistry of vegetable oil-based greases. Bio-based lubricants are normally more expensive than mineral base oils, but in many circumstances, the extra expense might be justified if there are recognised environmental conditions thus enhancing the market growth.
The engines segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to commonly use lubricate internal combustion engines. Engine oils are used in tractors, harvesters, other forage equipment in the agricultural sector to save maintenance, providing greater wear and corrosion protection, higher engine durability, better fuel efficiency, and so on. This huge share might be attributable to the global expansion of the farm tractor market. Each tractor has at least one engine, and each engine has an oil consumption capacity of two to three litres. No other component of the tractor uses this much lubrication as a result, the engines application category accounts for the majority of the agricultural lubricants market.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period owing to strong demand from China and India. China is the region's and the world's largest lubricant consumer. Despite the poor growth of the economy, the country's consumption rate is predicted to remain constant. The country's government is pursuing a variety of steps to support and modernise the local agricultural equipment business. Furthermore, agricultural productivity and farm mechanisation are strongly linked. The use of appropriate equipment increases agricultural productivity hence all the above factors drive the growth of the market in this region.
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to organising more complex tractors machines that use AI for decision-making. The demand for agricultural lubricants is substantial, and advanced users of machinery are driving demand for replacement components, which is projected to boost regional market growth. Growth in farm income, international food commodity prices, government support to increase productivity, and private investments in agriculture have created optimism in the North American agriculture landscape, which is expected to increase farm mechanisation and demand for agricultural lubricants in the region.
