India Industrial Lubricants Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence
The India Industrial Lubricants Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the manufacturing industry was severely affected, which resulted in a decrease in the usage of lubricants in 2020. However, with the recovery of many construction projects and other industrial activities, the market has seen a recovery phase in the year 2021 and is expected to see a positive trend in the forecasted years. An increase in automotive sales and engineering goods has been leading the market recovery over the last two years.
- The major factors driving the growth of the market studied are rising demand from the wind energy sector and the "Make in India" initiative, which is expanding the industrial base in India.
- On the flip side, the increased environmental pollution that is leading to growing industrial regulations is expected to hinder the growth of the market studied.
Factors, such as the growing mining operations and the robust growth of the construction industry, are likely to provide opportunities for the market studied during the forecast period.
India Industrial Lubricants Market Trends and Insights
Heavy Equipment Segment to Dominate the Market Demand
- In the construction, mining, and agricultural industries, lubricants are useful for preventing premature failure and the performance decline of heavy equipment.
- According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in FY21, India's heavy electrical equipment production stood at INR 168,949 crores (USD 21.15 billion). The electrical equipment market is forecasted to grow and reach USD 72 billion by 2025, up from USD 48-50 billion in 2021. The electrical equipment export market is forecasted to reach USD 13 billion by 2025, up from USD 8.62 billion in 2021.
- The metalworking activities in the country witnessed a resurge in 2021, with the lockdown measures being gradually relaxed and state and local governments focusing on domestic manufacturing.
- Indian machine tool production and consumption were estimated at INR 6,602 crores (USD 879.38 million) and INR 12,036 crores (USD 1.6 billion), respectively, in FY21, while exports stood at INR 531 crores (USD 66.48 million).
- Heavy-duty vehicle utilization is expected to rise in the future as a result of significant infrastructure investments.
- According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the export of engineering goods has increased from USD 58.6 billion to USD 76.62 billion in 2021.
- In FY22, India exported engineering goods worth USD 111.63 billion, a 45.51% increase year-on-year. India exports engineering goods mostly to the United States and Europe, which account for over 60% of the total exports.
Therefore, the increasing demand for and usage of heavy equipment are further projected to drive the demand for industrial lubricants during the forecast period.

Surging Demand from Wind Energy Sector
- India's electricity industry is one of the world's most diverse. Power generating options include coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro, and nuclear power, as well as feasible non-conventional options including wind, solar, and agricultural and household waste.
- The country's electricity demand has risen significantly and is likely to continue to climb in the coming years. To fulfill the country's growing need for power, a substantial increase in installed generating capacity is necessary.
- The lubricant requirements in wind turbine gearboxes are more stringent, compared to other industrial gear oils. This is due to the high temperatures, bearing wear, corrosion and oxidation, and load weights involved during the process of power generation.
- India's overall installed wind power capacity was 41.2 GW as of August 2022, making it the world's fourth-highest installed wind power capacity.
- The world's largest renewable energy park of 30 GW capacity solar-wind hybrid project is under installation in Gujarat.
- The government is now also pushing for offshore wind. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has revived its offshore wind power development goals by unveiling a roadmap for installing 30GW by 2030.
- Tamil Nadu's wind production capacity was around 24% of India's total in 2021. The total wind installed capacity in Tamil Nadu is 9608.04 MW. Maharastra has an installed wind power capacity of 5000.33 MW. Government of Madhya Pradesh has sanctioned a 15 MW project at Nagda Hills near Dewas.
- Therefore, with an increase in wind energy infrastructure, the demand for industrial lubricants, such as gear oils, grease, etc., is expected to increase in the country, during the forecast period.

India Industrial Lubricants Market Report Scope
All industrial lubricant products are made from a combination of base oils and additives. The composition of base oil in the formulation of lubricants is primarily between 75-90%. Base oils possess lubricating properties and make up to 90% of the final lubricant product. Lubrication reduces the amount of energy required to perform mechanical actions and also reduces the amount of energy that is dissipated as heat. The India industrial lubricants market is divided into two sections: product type and end-user industry. By product type, the market is segmented into engine oil, transmission and hydraulic fluid, metalworking fluid, general industrial oil, gear oil, grease, process oil, and other product types. By end-user industry, the market is segmented into power generation, heavy equipment, food and beverage, metallurgy and metalworking, chemical manufacturing, and other end-user industries, including packaging, oil and gas, etc. For each segment, market sizing and forecasts have been done based on volume (millions of liters) for all the above segments.
