The global lubricant additives market is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating a valuation of US$ 13.46 billion by 2023 and an anticipated climb to US$ 21.7 billion by 2033, marking a notable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% throughout the forecast period. This surge is attributed to increasing demand across various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace, driven by the necessity for enhanced lubricant performance, improved fuel efficiency, and stringent environmental regulations, highlighting a promising trajectory for the market’s expansion.
Lubricant additive offers environmental benefits and is gaining attention from major players due to increasing environmental concerns. The evolving engine oil specifications, such as GF-6, are driving the demand for innovative lubricant formulations and additives. Automotive manufacturers and lubricant formulators are compelled to develop engine oils that meet these specifications, leading to a healthy growth in the demand for engine oil lubricant additives in the future.
The performance and efficiency of modern engines rely heavily on an effective lubrication system. Lubrication plays a crucial role in cooling the internal engine parts that experience friction and generate heat, preventing overheating. As engine technology evolves, such as with Gasoline Direct Injection and Turbocharge Gasoline Direct Injection in passenger cars, lubricant standards have also advanced.

The implementation of the ILSAC GF-6 standard in North America in 2020 has improved fuel economy, protection for emission systems, and engine oil robustness. This implementation is expected to drive the demand for lower viscosity index improver lubricants, which effectively reduce engine friction and are used in all types of vehicles.
To enhance vehicle efficiency and facilitate the transition to low-carbon vehicles, nations worldwide have introduced initiatives that encompass various automobile sectors including light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, buses, motorcycles, and trucks. One notable example is the Global Fuel Economy Initiative launched by the United Nations in 2019 across 70 countries, with the goal of improving vehicle fuel economy and expediting the decarbonization of road transport by 2030. Consequently, there will be an increased demand for efficient lubricants such as bio-based and nanotube-based lubricants that can be utilized in new vehicles to achieve reduced engine friction and improved fuel economy.
