Global Industry Analysis Offshore Lubricants Market 2014 – 2020


Posted May 8, 2017 by wayne31jan

The global offshore lubricants market was valued at USD 110.86 million in 2013 and is likely to reach USD 183.50 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 7.07% from 2014 to 2020

 
The global offshore lubricants market is characterized by high degree of competition by integrated MNCs. The top four companies in the industry accounted for 45% of the market in 2014. These four companies are ExxonMobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron, and Castrol. Competition is intensifying on account of the presence of major oil and gas companies across the value chain. Key players are participating in expansion strategies to maintain their position in the market, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). A case in point would be Total S.A. This company in February 2014, announced expansion of its operations in the Mediterranean region. Similarly, ExxonMobil has planned the development of a new unit in Singapore with a production capacity of 62,000 barrels per day.

According to the report by TMR, the global offshore lubricants market is expected to reach US$183.5 mn by the end of 2020. By end use, offshore rigs accounted for a significant share in the past, but in the years to come, FPSO is projected to exhibit a faster growth in the overall market. On the basis of application, engine oil was leading in the market. Engine oil segment is driven by the growing maritime traffic and high requirement for offshore vessels. However, the grease segment is anticipated to expand at faster pace in the coming years on account of the increasing consumption by oil and gas equipment and offshore machinery. By geography, the Rest of the World held the top position in the past with West Africa and Brazil contributing the most to the market on account of the increasing investments in large scale projects so as to develop offshore reserves in these areas.

Large-scale Undertakings for Development of Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater Oil and Gas Wells Driving Market

Offshore lubricants are highly in demand as they ensure that machines are working or functioning properly. Offshore lubricants help in the reduction of wear and tear as well as friction in the functional components of machines, and thus their demand is increasing. Moreover, lubricants have several beneficial characteristics such as thermal stability, high viscosity index, resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and low freezing point. All these factors are boosting the growth of the offshore lubricants market.

The growing investments in offshore oil and gas explorations and shale gas explorations are one of the primary reasons behind the high demand for offshore lubricants. In addition to this, governments have undertaken large-scale projects for the development of ultra deepwater and deepwater oil and gas wells, which is expected to create several growth opportunities for players in the offshore lubricants market.
