Although important for the smooth operations of marine vessels, incidences of petroleum-based fluid leaks due to the use of marine lubricants have led to the amendment of various environmental regulations by global authorities, as they can hurt aquatic marine life. As recently as December 2022, there was a marine oil spill in Houston, USA, where around 3,500 gallons of used lubricant oil leaked into an industrial canal from a storage facility.

On the basis of application, the marine lubricants market is segmented into mineral oil, synthetic oil, and biobased marine lubricants. The mineral oil segment is poised to grow at 5.5% CAGR between 2023-2032. Mineral oil lubricants find extensive usage in the marine sector, given their high solubility with additives, which results in enhanced performance of engines and vessels and better compatibility with seals. They are also a less expensive option compared to synthetically made lubricants, further driving demand in the segment.
Based on application, the marine lubricants market is divided into hydraulic oil, engine oil, and grease oil. The engine oil segment is slated to reach a valuation of more than USD 4.5 billion by 2032. Engine oil is used to lubricate the inner components of internal combustion marine engines, which keeps them cool and prevents corrosion. This is an important factor given the rising global trade volume of bulk commodities, like oils, agricultural goods, consumer goods, and industrial products, done via water transportation, prompting demand in the segment.
