NEW YORK, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
http://www.reportlinker.com/p060913/Lubricants-Industry.html
US demand to reach 2.25 billion gallons in 2014
US demand for lubricants is forecast to expand 1.3 percent annually to 2.25 billion gallons in 2014, valued at $22 billion. This represents a significant improvement over the performance of the 2004-2009 period, when lubricant demand declined 5.0 percent annually. Going forward, renewed economic growth will fuel lubricant market gains. However, total lubricant consumption is not expected to reach pre-recession levels. This will be largely due to the greater use of longer-lasting, higher performing synthetic lubricants that extend drain intervals, therefore reducing overall lubricant requirements in volume terms. Average price increases will continue to be significant, due to an expected rise in crude oil prices and a shift toward higher-value lubricants.
Higher quality, synthetic basestocks to gain share
The primary component of a finished lubricant is the basestock. US demand for higher quality Group II/II+ and Group III basestocks, as well as synthetic types, will increase their share of the market. Advances will be driven by a trend toward fill-for-life lubricants in industrial applications, and rising standards for motor vehicle engine oils. For example, higher quality basestocks will be necessary to comply with updated engine oil standards such as ILSAC GF-5. Going forward, petroleum base oils will face increasing competition from synthetic and bio-based oil basestocks, particularly in applications that require high performance products and in environmentally sensitive applications. Nevertheless, petroleum base oils will continue to account for the vast majority of oils in finished lubricants in volume terms.
Aftermarket declines to restrict engine oil segment
Engine oils accounted for more than half of total US lubricant demand in volume terms in 2009. A significant rebound in motor vehicle output following the double-digit annual declines of the 2004- 2009 period will propel engine oil demand in the factory fill segment. However, this represents only a small fraction of engine oil demand, and the overall outlook for these products in volume terms will be restricted by lengthening oil change intervals and the use of high performance synthetic lubricants. As such, aftermarket demand will decline, with the "do-it-yourself" segment continuing to lose out to "do-it-for-me" (DIFM) services, a trend that stalled in 2008 and 2009 as drivers sought out more economical alternatives for their vehicle service needs in the midst of difficult economic times. As the economy improves, many consumers will once again turn to professionals for their oil change needs due to the greater convenience that DIFM outlets provide.
Process oils to recover with rebounding markets
Process oils -- which include white oils, rubber oils, electrical oils, ink oils, agricultural spray oils and defoamer oils -- represent another leading lubricant category. Demand for these products is forecast to advance at an above-average pace, promoted by rebounding manufacturing activity following the real (inflation- adjusted) declines of the 2004-2009 period. In particular, an improved outlook for food and beverages, chemicals, and plastics and rubber will offer good opportunities for growth. However, process oils will continue to encounter challenges brought about by changing technology and environmental and regulatory standards.
