India Industrial Lubricants Market Size and Overview
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 by domestically producing lubricants within India. Over the review period, India industrial lubricants market observed a healthy growth both in terms of revenues as well as consumption volume. 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 & GST implementation; the market recovered in the FY’2018 with uniform cash flows, easy taxation as well as further growth in India’s manufacturing industry.
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. 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 market was collectively captured by synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants.
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 owing to their greater index of viscosity, higher bulk modulus, hydrolytic stability, resistance to wear and demulsification. Other lubricant types including metal working fluids, industrial gear oils, turbine oils, compressor oils, industrial greases and others captured the remaining market in the FY’2018.
By Industrial End Use (Construction, mining and off-highway equipment; iron and non-iron production; general manufacturing, textile & 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. 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 market was 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. Companies prefer selling lubricants directly to customers than via dealers as payments are highly irregular from dealer network.
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 in FY’2018. In accordance with the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the Indian government has been mapping out industrial parks and coastal and SEZs and has revealed a total of 1,850 such projects owned by the centre and other states collectively. On the other hand, west and east side states grabbed the remaining market 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 in the FY’2018. They have a holding capacity of 200 or 210 litres. Smaller packs with a holding capacity of 20 or 26 litres captured the remaining market in the FY’2018.
Competitive Landscape in India Industrial Lubricants Market
Competition stage in the country’s industrial lubes segment was witnessed to be moderately concentrated along with presence of major PSU OMCs which captured over half of the domestic consumption of industrial lubricants in India during FY’2018. Post liberalization, India industrial lubes market witnessed emergence of various international as well as domestic players owing to high growth potential of industrial lubricants in the country. Some of the major players operating within this segment include IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Shell, Gandhar Lubes, Exxon Mobil, Gulf petrochem (IPOL), Apar Industries and others. Pricing, brand value as well as marketing strategies adopted by a particular company are considered as of high importance in order to reach a wider target audience in the country.
India Industrial Lubricants Market Future Outlook and Projections
India industrial lubricants market will prepare itself to meet the future demand anticipated to emerge from the substantial investment proposed in key lubricating segments such as synthetic & semi-synthetic lubricants and bio-based lubricants along with emerging new industrial uses. The “Make-in-India” initiative launched by the Indian government with the primary goal of making India a global manufacturing hub, by encouraging both multi-national and domestic companies to manufacture their products within the country will drive forecasted revenues and sales volume in the next 5 fiscal years.
India has been emerging as one of the leading producers of key industrial ores and minerals. With more equipment being put into action, the higher will be the demand for industrial lubricants for efficient and productive operation of mining equipment as they are used under extreme temperature/pressure conditions which would require regular lubrication.
