Oil Condition Monitoring Market Expected to Reach $1.4 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Oil Condition Monitoring Market," The oil condition monitoring market was valued at $689.70 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 to 2031.

Oil condition monitoring is one of the type of predictive maintenance strategies that recognizes issues with machinery and equipment. It helps in the analysis of the equipment's condition and quality. When done timely, oil condition monitoring aids in the identification of mechanical issues before they become fatal failures that can lead to expensive repairs. Improper maintenance of expensive machines and equipment often leads to unanticipated downtime. Oil condition monitoring technology helps in avoiding such unanticipated downtimes and extends the life of costly assets. The oil condition monitoring market size is expected to grow at a substantial rate owing to an increase in awareness regarding extending the operational life of machines and equipment. Various factors such as a lack of skillful technical personnel and initial financial investment are projected to impede the market growth. Trained technicians have specialized training and knowledge to collect oil condition samples and do an accurate analysis of extracted samples. Online oil condition monitoring is also growing in popularity in the power industry as people become more aware of power and energy management. Due to the high temperatures and pressures involved in the operation of compressors, turbines, engines, and other power generation equipment, the quality of the oil used in these appliances decreases. Online oil condition monitoring is furthermore utilised in different industries to prevent the breakdown of machinery and equipment that depend on oil.

The increase in advancements in big data analytics and smart sensors is anticipated to offer excellent opportunities to the oil condition monitoring market players. Big data analytics allows the accurate processing of large volumes of datasets. Therefore, it helps in the effective analysis of the data received by oil quality sensors. Major companies in North America and Europe are extensively using these cutting-edge technologies. For instance, in 2021, Baker Hughes and Shell partnered to launch an analytics-based oil condition monitoring platform for the marine industry.
