Proper understanding of both the equipment and the properties of the base fluid and additive package are essential for achieving optimal lubrication. The additive added to the gear oil or transmission fluid formulation reduces friction and removes heat. Extreme pressure anti-wear additives are used to prevent spalling, wear, scoring, pitting, scuffing, and other types of distress, which could result in equipment failure and downtime. Protection against thermal degradation, oxidation, copper corrosion, rust, and foaming is provided by using driveline additive packages.

Viscosity of automotive lubricant tend to decrease with rise in operating temperatures. At elevated temperatures, the liquid becomes increasingly thin, providing a lower level of protection to the equipment. Conversely, at lower temperatures the fluid thickens and the increased viscosity of the lubricant reduces the efficiency of the equipment. Thus, for operation across wider temperature ranges, a multigrade fluid engineered is required for a more balanced viscosity profile. To achieve the required performance, multigrade fluids need additional additive components. For example, depending on the extent of cold-temperature operation, multigrade lubricants requires a pour point depressant, and in the most cases, additional viscosity modifier. Thus, driveline additives play a vital role in equipment maintenance and vehicle fuel economy. In 2016, the passenger vehicles segment accounted for two-thirds share of the global market, and is expected to witness a healthy growth rate, registering a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.
The antioxidants and emulsifiers segments are expected to witness the highest growth rate, registering a CAGR of 6.0% and 5.7%, respectively, during the forecast period. However, in 2016, the dispersant segment accounted for a major share in the global driveline additives market and the trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. Dispersants help in preventing sludge, varnish, and other deposits on critical surfaces, such as gears.
Asia-Pacific is the most significant market for driveline additives, in terms of both revenue and volume. China dominated the Asia-Pacific driveline additives market in 2016, in terms of both value and volume. Asia-Pacific is expected to show excellent growth on account of rapid growth in automotive industry and rise in consumer inclination toward enhancing fuel efficiency of vehicles. Furthermore, supportive government policies in countries, such as China and India, and heavy inflow of foreign investments in automotive sector are anticipated to boost the market for driveline additives in the near future.
