Biolubricants Market Drivers
Favourable Government Regulations on Biolubricants Usage:
Biolubricants, which are prepared from animal and vegetable oils and downstream esters or natural sources or biomass (renewable feedstock), are increasingly preferred over mineral-based oil. Various favorable government policies are supporting the increasing demand for bio-based lubricants. For instance, the U.S. EPA had established laws, stating the mandatory Vessel General Permit (VGP) for all marine boats playing in the U.S. waters to use environment-friendly and bio-based lubricants in all oil-to-sea interfaces. In addition, biolubricants products are a greener alternative to conventional mineral-based or petroleum-based options. Furthermore, the Vessel General Permit (VGP) is crucial legislation in North America. Similarly, Blue Angel in Germany, VAMIL Regulations in the Netherlands and Swedish Standard in Sweden govern the output embodied in lubricants. Thus, such favorable regulations are boosting the demand for Biolubricants, thereby driving the Biolubricants industry.
Flourishing Growth of the Building & Construction Sector:
The Biolubricants are functional fluids based on vegetable oil or biodegradable feedstock and animal base oil. They have major applicability in the building & construction sector across residential, commercial, industrial and others for refrigeration oil, lubrication, greases and others. The construction sector is growing significantly due to growth factors such as rising government for infrastructural projects, residential housing projects and rapid industrialization. According to Oxford Economics, the global construction output in 2020 accounted for US$10.7 trillion and is projected to grow by 42% to reach US$15.2 trillion between 2020 and 2030. According to the United States Census Bureau, the total construction spending in the U.S. increased from US$1.62 million in May 2021 to US$1.77 million in May 2022. With the fast-paced growth scope for the building & construction sector, the demand for biolubricants in building structures due to their low toxicity and environmental-friendly features is increasing. This is thereby driving the global Biolubricants industry.
Biolubricants Market Challenge
High Costs Associated with Biolubricants:
The high costs associated with Biolubricants and a lack of lubrication features create a major challenge in the Biolubricants market. In addition, the usage of biolubricants as base oil faces major constraints, such as poor low-temperature features, low oxidative properties and narrow viscosities range. The mitigation of these drawbacks leads to high costs of production and alternation in formulations. Due to such factors, the global Biolubricants market faces a major slowdown in its growth.
