Overview of the biolubricants market

The study estimates that the biolubricants market, which was valued at US$1,713.2 million in 2011, will register a moderate CAGR of 4.9% from 2011 through 2017, by when it is expected to stand at US$2,377.5 million.

Although it is more environment-friendly, a biolubricant typically costs nearly twice as much as synthetic or mineral oil lubricants. This makes the issue of market penetration especially critical to the global biolubricants market. This market faces stringent regulations that have been imposed by various government bodies worldwide. Adherence to these varying types and degrees of regulations in different geographical regions requires meticulous planning on the part of manufacturers and distributors alike. Hence, gaining a closer view of the current and projected market for biolubricants in various regions can prove to be a game-changer for many companies.

Besides the regulatory aspect, biolubricant companies need to constantly look for ways and means to bring down the costs of their products if they are to compete with mineral oil lubricants and other synthetic lubricants. This problem can be mitigated to some extent by creating wider awareness about the many benefits of bio-lubes among consumers. In developing countries, cost-sensitive consumers – despite being aware of the advantages – may still show initial resistance in switching over to biolubricants.
