INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS MARKET SIZE & SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS & FORECASTS (2023 - 2028)

 

Power generation is one of the most important sectors of the global economy, without which almost all manufacturing operations may cease. Advancements in manufacturing technologies are resulting in the commencement of various new plants, increasing the demand for electricity in various end-user industries.

Turbines play a key role in the energy sector for generating electricity. Irrespective of the source of electricity, i.e., wind, solar, hydro, thermal, and others, turbines are widely used for power generation. A large amount of heat is emitted from a turbine during the production of electricity. In general, other than turbines, the major components used in the power generation sector include pumps, bearings, fans, compressors, gears, and hydraulic systems. Wind turbines are subjected to many factors, such as humidity, high pressure, high loads, vibrations, and temperature. Gear and turbine oils are widely used in this sector for lubrication purposes.

Many companies are already aware of the fact that reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) over the lifetime of machinery is key to extracting the best possible value from the investment. However, the impact of lubrication on the TCO is underestimated too often.

In general, the cost of lubricants accounts for less than 5% of a power generation company’s total operational expenditure. According to an industry survey, about 58% of the companies recognized that lubricant selection could help reduce costs by 5% or more, but fewer than 1 in 10 (8%) companies realized that the impact of lubrication could be up to six times more.

In hydroelectric power generation, lubricants are used for air compressors, gears, turbines, circulating oil systems, hydraulics, and bearings, among other purposes. The lubricants consumed include greases, general lubricating oils, transmission oils, turbine oils, and hydraulic oils, among others. In nuclear power plants, lubricants (turbine oils) are used mainly for steam turbines for better efficiency.

In coal-fired power plants, lubricants are used for air compressors, hydraulics, turbines, mobile equipment, bearings, and gears. Coal excavator systems also consume different types of lubricants, including gear oils, greases, transmission oils, and hydraulic oils. Coal-fired power plants consume high-temperature and heavy-duty lubricants.
