Construction Lubricants Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type, Base Oil, Equipment, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Construction Lubricants Market is accounted for $9.89 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $14.21 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Construction lubricants are chemically-based substances used in machinery and equipment to ensure smooth operation and reduce friction between moving components. Heavy and light equipment used in the construction industry, including as pile driving machines, cranes, and others, needs specialist construction lubricants to operate efficiently and avoid malfunctions. Construction lubricants come in a variety of viscosities, depending on how they are used. It lengthens the lifespan of the machines' moveable parts and decreases corrosion and friction.

According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2021 report, the Brent crude oil price decreased from US$52.39/bbl in 2015 to US$43.73/bbl in 2016, then increased from US$54.19/bbl in 2017 to US$71.31/bbl in 2018.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing adoption of automation in the construction industry

The mechanical components of connected equipment will be subjected to continual motion and higher stresses as the automation level in construction rises, underscoring the critical requirement for effective lubrication. Additionally, the use of automated construction equipment is reducing the number of workers at construction sites as a result of growing labor costs and strict safety standards, which increases the daily consumption of lubricants. Additionally, the construction sector makes extensive use of heavy machinery that needs frequent lubrication. As a result, the majority of businesses are automating their processes, which is fueling the market for construction lubricants.

Restraint:

Fluctuations in crude oil prices

Petrochemicals from Brent crude oil serve as the basis for most construction lubricants. Manufacturers in the construction lubricants sector face significant obstacles as a result of the volatile raw material price fluctuations brought on by rising crude oil prices. Every year, the price of twisted crude oil swings. The price of construction lubricants therefore rises significantly. This raises manufacturing costs and lowers manufacturers' profit margins, which in turn restrains the expansion of the construction lubricants market.

Opportunity:

Raising government initiatives

As government investment in the commercial sector rises, so does the need for construction lubricants. The "Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) program"), an initiative of the Indian government, intends to offer affordable housing to all urban poor people by the year 2022 through financial support. The need for construction lubricants for equipment such hydraulic fluid, motor oil, grease, and other in construction will rise with the robust expansion of the commercial industry as a result of an increase in government initiatives. Therefore, it is projected that demand for the construction lubricants sector would expand throughout the projection period due to the significant growth of construction lubricants in the commercial business.

Threat:

Technological Advancements

The rapidly expanding construction sector has seen the introduction of portable and small machines. Lubricant usage in the construction sector has decreased as a result of smaller gearbox and hydraulic equipment and longer drain intervals. In order to decrease the usage of lubricants, the construction industry is utilizing cutting-edge concepts and technologies. The need for construction lubricants is anticipated to be hampered by such technical developments in the construction sector.

COVID-19 Impact:

The global market for construction lubricants has been adversely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic. Due to a scarcity of labourers and safety regulations enforced by governments and other regulatory organizations, the majority of building operations were put on hold when the worldwide pandemic broke out. As a result, there was a sharp decline in the demand for construction lubricants. The real estate industry, on the other hand, sees a fall as a result of the pandemic's effects on the world economy. This has also significantly contributed to the market's decreased demand for construction lubricants.

The hydraulic fluid segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The hydraulic fluid segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. In the construction sector, hydraulic fluid performs the functions of a lubricant, a sealer, and a medium for transferring energy or power. It is a fluid that also cools the machinery and removes impurities. It improves performance, operates efficiently throughout a wide temperature range, and lessens wear, rust, and corrosion in equipment. Because the operator needs high-quality hydraulic fluid to prevent equipment failure, the construction sector uses more hydraulic fluid than other industries.

The synthetic oil segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The synthetic oil segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its extensive characteristics. Base oils and additives used in synthetic oils help an engine run more efficiently. Synthetic oils offer better performance than conventional mineral oil-based lubricants while also requiring less maintenance and addressing environmental issues. There is a high demand for synthetic oils as a consequence of the increasing attention on emissions and growing consumer knowledge of the advantages of synthetic oils, which is boosting the revenue growth of the worldwide construction lubricants market size.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rapid development in the construction sector. In wealthy nations like the U.S., there has been a significant growth in the automation of machinery. Additionally, mining operations are expanding quickly in Canada. Additionally, there are several producers of construction equipment in this region. In addition, the region's demand for construction tools and lubricants is raising as a result of the growing government investments in infrastructure development projects including roads, railroads, and airports.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to rapid infrastructural development and high number of construction projects being planned in the emerging economies of the region. The government of India is putting forward a lot of money and investments for infrastructure projects, which has boosted the expansion of the building and construction sector. As a result, advancements in modular construction technology, government programs, and construction activity are boosting regional market growth.
