Summary

The global market for Lubricant Additives was estimated to be worth US$ 16007 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 18222 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 1.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Lubricant Additives cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
Lubricant additives are chemical substances added to base oils. They significantly enhance the overall performance of lubricants by improving the base oil's physical and chemical properties (such as oxidation stability, viscosity-temperature performance, and low-temperature fluidity) or by directly acting on mechanical surfaces (such as for corrosion protection, friction reduction, and anti-wear). By 2024, global lubricant additive production will reach 4 million tons, with an average selling price of approximately US$4,000 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 20%.
In the Lubricant Additives market enterprises, the main suppliers are Lubrizol, Infineum, Chevron Oronite and Afton, the four suppliers occupied more than 85% production share. And Lubrizol is the largest suppliers. Lubrizol accounted for about 33% production share. With regard to consumption aspect, North America accounted for about 24% market share, and Europe accounted for about 25% market share.

Market drivers primarily include the following:
Upgrading environmental regulations drives technological advancements
Stricter emission standards: Globally, automotive exhaust emission standards (such as EU Euro 6 and China National VI) and industrial waste gas emission limits continue to escalate, forcing lubricants toward lower ash, lower phosphorus, and lower volatile organic compound (VOC) content. For example, the National VI standard requires lubricants to reduce the content of elements such as sulfur and phosphorus to minimize damage to exhaust treatment systems, directly driving demand for high-performance additives.
Green manufacturing transformation: Increased investment in the research and development of environmentally friendly products such as bio-based additives and biodegradable lubricants. Policies are guiding companies through incentives such as fiscal subsidies and tax breaks, driving the industrial chain towards high-end and intelligent upgrades.

Diverging and upgrading demand in downstream industries
Transportation sector: The widespread adoption of new energy vehicles is impacting demand for traditional internal combustion engine lubricants. However, the market for lubricants specifically designed for new energy vehicles (such as transmission and cooling system oils) is rapidly emerging, driving a surge in demand for products with low viscosity and high thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the booming used car market and rising consumer awareness of maintenance are driving demand for high-performance automotive lubricant additives. Industrial Sector: The manufacturing industry is recovering and demand for equipment upgrades continues to grow. High-end equipment (such as wind turbine gearboxes and CNC machine tools) is placing higher demands on lubricants for high-temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, driving product iteration cycles down to 2-3 years. For example, wind turbine gearboxes require extremely high micropitting resistance in lubricants. Domestic companies have achieved import substitution through the development of nano-additive technology.
Shipping and Aviation Sector: The recovery of the shipping industry and the development of the aviation industry are driving demand for lubricant additives. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented stricter sulfur emission limits (such as a global sulfur cap of 0.5% for marine fuel), driving the adoption of low-sulfur and biodegradable lubricants. Compound additives must meet low ash and low phosphate requirements.

Technological Innovation and Cost Optimization
Nanotechnology Breakthroughs: Nano-additives can significantly enhance lubrication performance (such as film strength and parts repairability), meeting the demands of extreme operating conditions such as marine engines, becoming a competitive differentiator in the high-end market.
Optimizing Synthetic Oil Compatibility: Due to their excellent high-temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, synthetic oils require optimized compound additive formulations to enhance overall performance, driving growth in the high-end lubricant market. Supply Chain Optimization: Companies use vertical integration (such as self-production of silicon steel sheets) and long-term agreements to lock in raw material prices, hedge against the risk of international crude oil price fluctuations, and stabilize profit margins.
