Polyalphaolefin Market Size - Global Opportunities and Trends Analysis Report 2019-2030

As industrialization accelerates, there is a parallel increase in the demand for lubricants and functional fluids across various industrial sectors such as automotive, manufacturing, construction, and machinery. As industries seek lubricants and fluids capable of withstanding these challenging operating conditions, the demand for PAOs as premium base oils increases.

Additionally, Synthetic lubricants formulated with PAOs offer superior performance to conventional mineral-based lubricants. PAOs exhibit excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, viscosity index, and lubricating properties, making them well-suited for use in demanding operating conditions across various automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, and marine industries. Hence, the increasing global demand for synthetic lubricants propels the market’s growth.

However, The production of PAOs requires specific raw materials, primarily alpha olefins, which are derived from petrochemical sources. The cost of alpha olefins accounts for a significant portion of the overall production costs of PAOs. Thus, high production costs and price fluctuations are impeding the growth of the market.
