Lubricant is a substance that is used to minimize the friction through the application of a friction-reducing film between the surfaces when come in contact. It possesses anti-wear, antioxidant, and antifoaming characteristics and as a result, finds a broad range of application in agriculture, mining, automotive, manufacturing, and steel sectors. It is further used as a cutting fluid and coolant across several industries.
Growing demand for automobile along with ongoing industrialization across the developing countries is stimulating the industry landscape. Lubricants reduces friction and minimizes wear & tear between the surfaces in contact. Surging lubricants demand from manufacturing sectors in comprising 3D printing and medical devices further complements the business outlook. Furthermore, the recent decline in the price of crude oil resulting in low base oil price which will drive the industry size in the coming years.
