Rising Demand for Engine Oils Fuels Growth in Two-Wheeler Lubricant Market Amidst Shift Towards Electric Vehicles

Two-Wheeler Lubricants

The two-wheeler lubricants industry share is expected to increase from USD 17,697.3 million in 2023 to USD 24,723.7 million in 2033.

Synthetic oil is the Favored Choice

To manufacture all types of lubricants, crude oil, tight oil, and other additives are required. Lubricants contain a variety of additives that improve their functionality and characteristics. Among these additives are antioxidants, extreme pressure additives, rust and corrosion inhibitors, detergents, viscosity index improvers, anti-wear agents, and dispersants.

Lubricants are made up of 90% base oil and 10% additives, with base oils containing petrochemical fractions such as fluorocarbons, esters, polyolefins, and silicones. Base oils enhance lubricant viscosity and prevent wear and tear. The two most common base oils used in lubricant formulations are paraffinic and naphthenic.

Lubricants are an important component of constantly expanding industries. They are used to reduce friction and wear and tear between two relatively moving elements of machinery. They might be petroleum-based or water-based and are required for proper machinery operation. Lubricants also reduce operational downtime, thereby increasing overall productivity.

While mineral oils remain popular, producers are focusing on boosting the production of synthetic and semi-synthetic oils. It is to meet the rising demand for premium synthetic two-wheeler lubricant products. Manufacturers are focusing on non-mineral oils considering the adoption of new engine technologies in current automobiles, as well as increased public knowledge of the performance benefits of synthetic lubricants.

The shift toward premiumization of products for improved warranty and long oil drain intervals is projected to need a great use of synthetic components in two-wheeler lubricant engines. Furthermore, in order to meet the growing demand for green fuels and sustainable solutions, several market participants are focusing on the development of effective bio-based lubricants.

The use of two-wheeler lubricants in motorcycles, particularly mopeds and standard models, has been higher than in scooters. Manufacturers are focused on product advancements and new advances. It is to give an optimal ride experience with the rise of next-generation motorcycles that permit efficient clutch operation and require multi-functional lubricants.
