Market Definition
Marine lubricants are a special class of lubricants that are manufactured to meet the rugged performance required in marine vessels for optimized operations. Various machinery components in marine systems require lubricants for better functioning, protection and prolonged life cycles. Considering this, the adoption of marine lubricants plays a significant role in the shipping industry. As per the International Maritime Organization (IMO) stats, around 90% of the world's trade is carried through maritime transport. This is supported by ship manufacturers and government bodies that helps to increase marine trade by developing new terminals and creating bigger straits along with the expansion of new ones. The use of marine lubricants has increased with these strategic developments, as larger ships require the use of more lubricants in every mechanical part. These lubricants are directly responsible for increasing the life of mechanical components in ships. Thus, growing demand for marine lubricants is expected to propel the growth of the synthetic and biodegradable marine lubricants market.
North America Synthetic and Biodegradable Marine Lubricants Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Rising application across the shipbuilding industry
Marine lubricants are frequently utilized in the shipping industry to protect and increase engine and equipment performance. They are specifically developed to provide optimal performance in tasks such as extending engine life and protecting components at high temperatures, boosting machine efficiency and dependability, enhancing mechanical wear protection and preventing cold corrosion.
Lubricant lowers friction and wears by creating a layer between moving contact surfaces. A lubricant's primary roles are to minimize friction, prevent wear, protect the equipment from corrosion, manage temperature by dispersing heat, control pollution to a filter and transmit power while providing a fluid seal. Oil and grease are the most prevalent types. The oils might be synthetic, vegetable (also known as Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants - EALs), or mineral-based, or a mix of the three. Therefore, rising application across the shipbuilding industry is expected to drive the market's growth.
- New product launches and increasing R&D activities
Marine lubricants are used to keep engines and equipment in good working order and to increase overall efficiency. In marine operations, these lubricants also aid in preventing wear and tear between contacting surfaces and components in relative motion. There are more innovative goods available today to fulfill the strict environmental rules imposed by governments and major manufacturers across the world are expanding their investment in R&D efforts to meet the demand from the marine sector. R&D is becoming increasingly important in launching new sophisticated products and expanding the marine lubricants industry through partnerships or collaborations among major firms. Thus, new product launches and increasing R&D activities are acting as potential market drivers for the market.
- Emerging emission-reduction technologies
The increased emissions from ships have resulted in additional regulations from the EPA, MARPOL and other regulatory authorities. This has resulted in the development of newer technologies in the maritime industry, such as low sulfur fuel, slow steaming, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), scrubbers or exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), onboard blending, Emissions Reduction-As-A-Service (ERaaS) and exhaust gas recirculation. The increased dangerous nitrogen and sulfur oxide emissions into the water have prompted shipping businesses to implement cutting-edge technologies in order to comply with the new laws. Reduced hazardous emissions from ships will result in improved performance and durability of marine lubricants, resulting in the longer service life of ship mechanical equipment.
Opportunities
- Demand for synthetic oil and growth in offshore applications
Synthetic lubricants, particularly those used in industrial lubrication applications, are readily accessible and have several applications on board ships. Synthetic lubricants were historically developed in response to special-purpose requests. Conventional mineral-oil-based lubricants, for instance, could not fulfil severe low-temperature (Arctic) or high-temperature activities and fire-resistant criteria. A complex blend of hydrocarbons and synthetic base oils is the outcome of a highly managed chemical reaction process that yields a "pure" chemical of pre-selected composition. This chemical process yields an infinite number of products.
- Bio-based lubricants are becoming increasingly popular
Bio lubricants derived from biomass and other wastes have the potential to lower the carbon footprint of manufacturing operations and the maritime sector. Bio lubricants outperform traditional lubricants in terms of lubricating qualities and they are renewable and biodegradable. Vegetable oils, plant polymeric polysaccharides and wax esters are common sources of bio-lubricants. Bio-lubricants are intriguing possibilities since they are renewable and produce zero greenhouse emissions.
Restraints/Challenges
- Alternative fuels and new technologies
The IMO (International Maritime Organization) decision to restrict the sulfur content of ship fuel from 1 January 2020 to 0.5% Asia-Pacific, as well as the recently approved resolution to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2050, will drastically alter the future mix of ship fuels. As a result, alternative marine fuels are required to mitigate the environmental and climatic consequences of shipping in the short and long term.
- Environmental regulations that are strict and administrations that are constantly reforming
The fact that almost the whole globe is dependent on crude oil and crude oil products is the primary cause of rising pollution. Bio-based grease is seen as a potential market by marine lubricant makers. Several regulatory guidelines issued by various governing organizations are impeding the growth of the marine lubricants industry.
Recent Development
- In April 2022, ExxonMobil created Mobilgard 540 AC, a premium 40BN marine cylinder oil approved by MAN ES for use in their Mark 9 and above 2-stroke marine engine designs. The premium lubricant has been developed to give increased cleanliness to satisfy the demands of these modern engines
- In June 2020, Total Lubmarine expanded the worldwide reach of its technical support services with the inauguration of a new Diagomar Plus Laboratory in Chicago, U.S. The new Chicago Lab offers standard assessments for engine oil, non-engine oil, drain oil, thermal oil, stern tube oil and EAL (environmentally acceptable lubricant)
