Alkylate Market to Grow by 1.3X as Demand in Aviation Industry Gradually Returns to the Pre-pandemic Level

NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As per a study published by Fact.MR, the global alkylate market is expected to reach US$ 78.1 billion by the end of 2021. In response to the rapid advancement in manufacturing sector and surging demand from the automotive and aviation industries, the market is expected to top US$ 100 Bn by 2031, growing at a steady 2.5% CAGR.

Expansion witnessed in the aviation industry is driven by the increasing air travel passenger traffic and freight worldwide. According to a report by the International Civil Aviation Organization, around 4.5 billion passengers were carried on schedule in 2019, resulting in around 38.3 million aircraft departures across the globe. As alkylate is extensively used in the production of aviation fuel, increasing air travel will provide immense sales opportunities for the market players.

Some of the leading market players are heavily investing in expanding their production capacity by installing novel alkylation units. For instance, Hengli Petrochemical, a company based in China, announced installing a novel STRATCO alkylation unit at its new crude-to-paraxylene integrated petrochemical and refining facility in July 2020. The unit assists the company to produce 300,000-tonnes/year high quality alkylate. Driven by such developments in the landscape, the market is projected to total US$ 100 billion through 2031.

Explore Fact.MR's Coverage on the Chemical & Materials Domain –

Automotive Lubricants Market- Excellent solvency and hydrophilic characteristics are seen in high-performance automobile lubricants. Because of the lighter viscosity classes of high-performance lubricants used in these automobile lubricants, the engine runs longer. Furthermore, less viscous and superior synthetic lubricants improve engine fuel economy to a larger extent. During the projection period, leading manufacturers can use R&D operations to bring more efficiency and new innovations to the existing product portfolio in the automotive lubricants market.

Aviation Lubricants Market- In the aviation and automobile industries, a range of lubricants are used to improve engine performance. Rising demand for air travel and cargo will almost certainly result in a significant increase in demand for aviation lubricants. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted in an increase in air travel in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue during the projected period. Governments are becoming increasingly interested in pushing laws related to open skies, immigration, and visas in order to allow a plethora of market potential for aviation lubricants.

Functional Fluids Market- Functional fluids are a broad category that include a wide range of fluids, including braking fluids and process oils. Over the forecast period, the market for functional fluids is likely to be propelled by increased demand for high-performance products in industrial metal fabrication. The positive expansion in global automobile production, as well as the on-road fleet, is expected to keep the need for functional fluids on the rise during the projection period. Large expenditures in the development of newer base stock plants are likely to keep the current functional fluids production landscape optimistically growing.
