How Industrial Lubricants Market Is
Positioned in India?
The
Industrial
Lubricants Market in India has reached its maturity stage, therefore
meeting demand expectations of every end user industry (construction and
mining, metal production, power generation, general manufacturing, food
processing, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics) majorly by importing base oil from
foreign countries and domestically producing lubricants within India. The
market has been growing majorly due to rising usage of hydraulic oil,
industrial gear oil and industrial greases in major end-user applications. Over
the review period, India industrial lubricants market observed a healthy growth
both in terms of revenues as well as consumption volume. In the FY’2013, the
market generated revenues worth USD ~ million alongside a sales volume of ~ million
litres.
Significance
of smooth working of machineries coupled with the prevention of equipment
failure owing to lack of lubricity and excess friction are some of the driving
forces for industrial lubricants growth. Rising concerns from major industries
regarding the maintenance of machineries in order to provide a better quality
output has escalated the demand for synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants in
the country. After facing an economic slowdown during the period FY’2016-2017
owing to temporary disruptions caused by demonetization and GST implementation;
the market recovered in FY’2018 with uniform cash flows, easy taxation as well
as further growth in India’s manufacturing industry. India industrial market
revenues were evaluated at USD ~ million whereas, the sales volume rose to ~
million litres in the FY’2018.
India Industrial Lubricants Market
Segmentation
By Origin (Mineral, Semi-Synthetic and
Synthetic Lubricants)
Mineral
oil based lubricants were witnessed to dominate India industrial lubes market
during FY’2018 with a revenue share of ~%, thus evaluated at USD ~ million and
a volume share of ~%, contributing ~ million litres. These types of lubricants
have been gaining traction in India majorly due to its economical price over
semi-synthetic and synthetic types which are costlier as they require highly
refined base oil and high quality additives that add to cost of production of
these lubricants. The remaining revenue share ~% and volume share of ~% was
collectively captured by synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants in India
industrial lubricant market during FY’2018 which is slowly gaining traction in
the country.
By Type of Industrial Lubricants
(Hydraulic Oil, Metal Working Fluids, Industrial Gear Oils, Turbine Oils,
Compressor Oils, Industrial Greases and Others)
Hydraulic
oils established itself as market leader in the India industrial lubricants
market along with volume share of ~% in the FY’2018. Greater index of
viscosity, higher bulk modulus bulk modulus, hydrolytic stability, resistance
to wear and demulsification are some of the characteristics which are evaluated
while choosing suitable hydraulic oil lubes. The remaining volume shares of ~%,
~%, ~%, ~%, ~% and ~% were captured by other lubricant types including metal
working fluids, industrial gear oils, turbine oils, compressor oils, industrial
greases and others respectively in FY’2018.
By Industrial End Use (Construction,
mining and off-highway equipment; iron and non-iron production; general
manufacturing, textile and chemicals; engineering equipment, automotive sector,
power generation, cement and others)
The
usage of industrial lubricants in India was observed to be high in
construction, mining and off-highway equipment sector with a volume share of ~%
of total sales volume of industrial lubricants in India during FY’2018. As
India’s construction and mining sector are catching up fast with its global
counter-parts in terms of technological advancements, the demand for hydraulic
oil has shifted from not just being volume driven but more of value based. The
remaining volume share of ~% were collectively captured by industrial end users
such as iron and non-iron production, general manufacturing, textile and
chemicals; engineering equipment, automotive sector, power generation, cement
and others respectively during FY’2018.
By Type of Distribution Channel
(Direct Sales and Dealer Network)
Direct
sales were majorly used by PSU OMCs and international private players in India.
The segment dominated with a massive volume share of ~% of the total sales
volume of industrial lubes in India in the FY’2018. Companies prefer selling
lubricants directly to customers than via dealers as payments are highly
irregular from dealer network. The remaining ~% volume share in India was
grabbed by the dealer network in FY’2018.
By Regional Sales (North, South, East
and West)
The
northern and southern regions in India were witnessed to dominate the country’s
industrial lubes market with a collective volume share of ~% in FY’2018. The
remaining ~% volume share in India industrial lubricants market was captured by
western and eastern states during FY’2018.
By Basis of Packaging (Barrels, Drums
and Tanker load; and Smaller Packs)
Barrels,
drums and tanker load were witnessed to dominate the lube packaging in India
industrial lubricants market with a massive volume share of ~% in the FY’2018.
They have a holding capacity of ~ or ~ litres. Smaller packs with a holding
capacity of ~ or ~ litres captured the remaining ~% volume share in India
industrial lubricants market in the FY’2018.
