Africa Heavy Equipment Lubricants Market Trends and Insights
Mining Industry to Dominate the market
- The equipment used for mining activities are of heavy-duty and are operated under high pressures and temperatures. Hence, components, such as ropes, bearings, bushes, pins, and gears, which are used in various equipment, are subjected to friction, wear, and corrosion, primarily due to the chemicals present underneath the earth. Therefore, regular lubrication of this equipment is required for continuous and efficient mining.
- The formation of dust and sludge on the surfaces is common in the mining industry. The most commonly used lubricants in the mining industry include heavy-duty diesel engine oils, gear oils, transmission oils, greases, and hydraulic fluids.
- The mining industry in Africa has been witnessing significant growth since the past few years.
- For instance, South Africa has the largest mining industry in Africa and mining is the largest segment contributing to South Africa's economy. In 2019, the South African mining industry generated a revenue of ZAR 529 billion, with a 32% increase over the previous year
- Due to the rise in population and persistent demand for minerals and their derivatives in different end-user industries are likely to boost the African mining industries, as it has heavy mineral deposits.
- The above-mentioned factors are anticipated to drive the demand for Africa heavy equipment lubricants during the forecast period.
