Report Code: CMR 1320 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market Overview

The Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market size is projected to reach US$25.2 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The term bio-based lubricants apply to all lubricants that are both rapidly biodegradable and non-toxic to humans and aquatic environments. A bio-based lubricant may be plant oil-based or derived from synthetic esters, triglyceride esters and more. The growing automotive & transportation industry in Pakistan and the increasing adoption of eco-friendly products in Pakistan are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. The other factors driving the growth of the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market are the expanding demand from the power generation industry, the flourishing metallurgy industry and growing applications in the mining industry. Several end-use industries in the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants industry suffered negative effects as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The production halt owing to enforced lockdown resulted in decreased supply, demand and consumption of bio-based lubricants in Pakistan, which had a direct impact on the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market size in the year 2020.

Key Takeaways

  • The Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market is increasing at a rapid pace, owing to the increasing production and demand for automotive in Pakistan. This increase in production and demand can be attributed to the improving lifestyle, growing per capita income and population in Pakistan.
  • In comparison to mineral oil or petroleum lubricants, bio-based lubricants based on synthetic esters and triglyceride esters are highly biodegradable, have fewer toxic effects on the environment, cause fewer skin problems in workers and require less maintenance. 
  • When compared to petroleum-based lubricants, bio-based lubricants perform better and last longer because they evaporate more slowly and adhere better to metal surfaces. Penalties imposed on the operator in the event of spills or leaks into the environment are significantly lower than those for petroleum-based lubricants, which helps the market grow.
  • However, bio-based lubricants have a high viscosity and poor oxidative stability at high temperatures are anticipated to restrain the growth of bio-based lubricants in key industrial applications.

Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market Segment Analysis – by Source

The vegetable oils segment held a significant share in the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market share in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. This can be attributed to its excellent biodegradability, less toxicity and enhanced lubricity when compared to synthetic esters and triglyceride esters. The abundance of vegetable oil seeds, which are used as raw materials, can also be blamed for the growth. Vegetable oil-based lubricants generally have higher lubricity, a higher viscosity index, a lower evaporative loss rate and a higher flash point than petroleum-based lubricants. They also have better metal adhesion. As a result, the demand for vegetable oil-based lubricants in Pakistan is on a significant upsurge, thereby driving segmental growth.

Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market Segment Analysis – by Application

The hydraulic fluids segment held a significant share in the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Recent years have seen a significant increase in speed and pressure, which has led to the sophistication of hydraulic systems. These modifications have led to a sharp increase in wear rates in Pakistan. As a result, using hydraulic oil has taken on a lot more significance in Pakistan. Many different types of machinery, pieces of equipment and end-use industries, including agriculture, mining, steel, shipbuilding, aviation, the aerospace industry, chemicals, food and more, use hydraulic fluids. All these markets are rapidly growing in Pakistan which has generated high demand for hydraulic systems, thus, aiding the hydraulic fluids market growth in Pakistan.

Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry

The automotive & transportation segment held a significant share in the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market share in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027, owing to the growing demand for bio-based lubricants from the automotive & transportation industry in Pakistan. Bio-based lubricants based on vegetable oils and synthetic ester are often used in the automotive & transportation industry as engine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils and more. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), motor vehicle production in Pakistan increased from 1,86,751 units in 2019 to 2,38,702 units in 2021, an increase of 28%. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), according to the trend scenario for 2018, air travel in Pakistan is expected to increase by 184 percent over the next 20 years. By 2038, there would be 22.8 million more passenger departures due to this. If satisfied, this increased demand would generate about $9.3 billion in US GDP and support 786,300 jobs. As a result, the expanding automotive & transportation sectors are expected to boost demand for hydraulic fluids, gear oils, engine oils and more, thereby propelling the market growth.

Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market Drivers

Increasing Adoption of Bio-based Lubricants:

The market for bio-based lubricants is booming in Pakistan as a result of their widespread acceptance as alternatives to oils with a petroleum base. This change aims to alleviate environmental worries and also aids in resolving related problems. Animal and plant oils are used as renewable raw materials in manufacturing. It is well known that lubricants made from vegetable oil have several sustainable and environmental benefits over their petroleum-based counterparts. For their part, end-use industries in Pakistan started to be more receptive to the appeal of bio-lubricants, partly in response to regulatory demands but also because they were drawn to this new wave of high-quality bio-lubricants with superior performance, improved energy efficiency and an extended lifetime for lubricants and machines. Additionally, they are following government regulations and have a higher level of biodegradability, thereby driving the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market.

Expanding Wind Energy Sector in Pakistan:

In the wind energy industry, bio-based lubricating oils have many uses, such as protecting against surface wear, avoiding metal surface corrosion and cooling the internal gearbox components. In Pakistan, for instance, the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) announced in March 2020 a plan for eleven wind projects with a combined capacity of 660MW. These projects have been operational since December 2021. 50MW Indus Wind Energy Ltd, 50MW Master Green Energy Ltd, 50MW ACT2 Wind Pvt Ltd, 50MW Liberty Wind Power 2 Pvt Ltd, 50MW DIN Energy Ltd, 60MW Metro Wind Power Ltd, 50MW Masda Green Energy Pvt Ltd and 50MW Gul Ahmed Electric Ltd are among the projects that are a part of the initiative. The goal of the policy is to increase the percentage of electricity produced from renewable sources from around 5% in 2020 to 20% by 2025 and another 30% by 2030. With the increasing wind energy sector, the demand for lubricating oil was also spurred in Pakistan, thereby fueling the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market growth during the forecast period.

Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants Market Challenge

High Cost of Bio-based Lubricants:

The market is being restricted by the high cost of bio-based lubricants and their lack of lubricating properties, which is the biggest problem facing producers of bio-based lubricants. The biodegradability of vegetable oil-based lubricants makes them an excellent substitute for traditional lubricants. As a result, it is extremely difficult to create bio-based lubricants that are both cost-effective and have a breakthrough combination of biodegradability and high lubricant properties. The cost of these lubricants is a substantial obstacle for the market to get past. The cost of a bio lubricant is 30-40% higher than that of a standard lubricant. The majority of bio-based goods are priced similarly to mid to high-performance mineral oil goods. It is anticipated that the high price of bio-based lubricants will have an impact on its demand in Pakistan, thereby negatively affecting the Pakistan Bio-based Lubricants market size during the forecast period.
