Japan Lubricants Market Outlook

The Japan lubricants market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% in the forecast period of 2024-2032. The market is being aided by the growing demand for lubricants in the automotive sector and the development of bio-based lubricants.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Lubricant is a substance which is primarily utilised to reduce the friction between two surfaces when they are in contact or proximity. It can also reduce the wear and tear of components and dissipate the heat produced.

 

  • The growing demand for EV lubricants, due to the rising adoption of electric vehicles in Japan, is one of the crucial Japan lubricants market trends. These lubricants can reduce friction, noise, and vibration in seals, gearboxes, and car battery coolants to improve the longevity and operation of an EV.
  • The rising popularity of bio-based lubricants such as vegetable oils and synthetic esters, which are biodegradable in nature and do not contribute to pollution, is another significant trend aiding the market expansion.
  • The Japan lubricants market growth is also being driven by increased development of advanced lubricants that can withstand high pressure and temperature and are formulated to meet the unique requirements of the automotive and metallurgy, among other sectors.
  • Market players are readily launching innovative lubricants that offer a unified solution for the automotive sector. For example, in June 2023, Idemitsu Kosan, a Japan-based petroleum company, developed a cooling oil, which offers a unified cooling solution for batteries, e-axle and other electric parts of electric and hybrid vehicles.

 

Japan Lubricants Market Segmentation

Based on product type, the market is divided into engine oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, metalworking fluids, and transmission and gear oils, among others. The market, on the basis of base oil, is segmented into mineral oil lubricants, bio-based lubricants, and synthetic lubricants. Based on end use, the market is classified into automotive, heavy equipment, metallurgy and metalworking, power generation, and chemical, among others.

Market Share by Product Type

Engine oils constitute a significant portion of the Japan lubricants market share, owing to their high usage in internal combustion engines (ICEs) for reducing wear and tear on moving parts. They also prevent the engine from corrosion and rust and facilitate the smooth operation of the vehicle.

 

Moreover, engine oils prevent the formation of sludge on engine blocks that could lead to engine damage over time, ensuring the longevity of the engines. T the function of engine oil as a sealant to maintain leaks also offers impetus to the segment’s growth.

 

Market Share by End Use

As per the Japan lubricants market analysis, the automotive sector accounts for a substantial market share, due to the rising usage of oils for reducing friction and providing heat dissipation to ICEs. Growing utilisation of greases to prevent any premature wear and tear of automotive parts also provides lucrative opportunities for market growth.

 

Furthermore, factors such as the implementation of brake fluids in brake systems to keep them in good condition as well as the development of eco-friendly lubricants offer a positive market outlook.
