Advancements in Maritime Transport and Structural Changes in International Trading to Boost Demand

"The global market for marine lubricants is mainly being driven by the exponential rise in the shipping industry," says an analyst at TMR. According to the Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, the shipping industry is considered as the catalyst for economic development of a country and is projected to hold almost 90% of the world trade in the near future.

The advancements in maritime transport and the structural changes in international trading activities are having a profound impact on development of ports, which is likely to impact the shipping industry over the next few years. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the need for marine lubricants substantially in the years to come. However, the decrease in the production of group I base oil may hamper the market's growth during the forecast period, states the report.
