Gear oil Market Analysis 2020-2027

Gear oil is a lubricant that contains organosulfur compounds. It is usually of high viscosity and made specifically for transfer cases, transmissions, and differentials in transports vehicles and machinery markets. It is widely used for gearing and high maintenance purposes. Some of the additives such as molyconc F, molyconc super 100, and molyconc super 100 are added in gear oil to increase the lubricating properties and to prevent surface fatigue and scuffing. The synthetic gear oil is created artificially from chemical compounds and has higher thermal stability and retention, while other oils are derived from the crude oil as a product of the oil distillation process. The gear oil is widely used as a reduction of friction, wear of the gear tooth surfaces, removal of the heat generated by the operating gear, and protection of the gear parts from the corrosion. The transportation industry, plastic manufacturing, power generation plants, and construction sector are likely to witness high demand for gear oil during the forecast period.

Scope of the report

COVID-19 impact analysis

• The global market for gear oil is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The suspension of activities in the construction, plastic manufacturing, and automobile sectors is anticipated to limit the demand for gear oil, globally.
• Furthermore, the movement of transports and vehicles are on a halt in a pandemic situation, which may cause decline in demand for gear oil during the forecast timeframe. 
• Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
• Thus, inadequate supply of raw materials will further hamper the production rate of gear oil, thus negatively impacting the market growth.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis:

The friction caused due to movement and heat generating by the operating gear in vehicles requires lubrication for smooth function, hence, gear oil is widely used for this purpose. The major driving factor of the gear oil market is rapid industrialization and increase in use of machinery in manufacturing industries. Heavy construction machineries are susceptible to corrosion. The application of gear oil on these machineries will prevent the corrosion, which is anticipated to boost the market growth. Furthermore, increase in rate of construction projects in developed and developing economies is anticipated to fuel the need for gear oil. Introduction of bio-based gear oil is anticipated to notably contribute toward the market growth, owing to its environment-friendly nature, as it does not result in carbon emission. However, higher prices, material compatibility, and limited miscibility of gear oils hamper the growth of the market.
