Key Market Trends

Viscosity Index Improvers to Drive the Market Growth

  • Viscosity Index can be considered as a scale of measurement for lubricating oils that indicates the extent of variation in viscosity with variation of temperature.
  • Viscosity index is widely used to measure the change in the viscosity of a fluid in relation to temperature. The higher the viscosity index, the smaller is the relative change in viscosity with temperature. They increase the viscosity of the fluid throughout its useful temperature range.
  • Viscosity improvers find vast application in different grades of engine oils, gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, power steering fluids, greases and various hydraulic fluids. Most of these oils find their uses in automobile, and hence, automobiles are subjected to rapid temperature changes.
  • For instance, during the cold days in the morning, an oil with a low viscosity at low temperature is needed for the oil pump to push the oil to the top of the engine. During this situation, it is necessary that the oil should be viscous to protect the engine when it reaches operating temperature and at this point viscosity modifiers have a prominent role.
  • Hence, viscosity index improvers are gaining prominence owing to the wide range of advantages they offer.

China to Dominate Asia-Pacific Region

  • China is the biggest economy in Asia-Pacific.
  • The food processing industry is moving toward maturity in the country, witnessing moderate growth. Processed and packaged frozen foods are increasingly becoming popular. While in the beverage industry, the trend for the consumption of healthy, natural, and convenient ready-to-drink smoothies, juices, and yogurts has been emerging.
  • Furthermore, China is the leading consumer of metalworking fluids. The growth for metalworking is expected to be driven by the robust growth in construction activities and increasing shipbuilding and aircraft orders in the region.
  • In Q1 2020, China has also approved about 10 gigawatts of new coal-fired power generation projects, which is almost equivalent to the total amount, which was approved in 2019. While such projects may take about two years for development, the demand for equipment used in power plants is projected to increase in the next two years.
  • The country has also produced 18,242,588 units of vehicles in 9 months of 2021, 8% growth in comparison to the same period last year.
  •  Based on the aforementioned aspects, China is expected to dominate the Asia-Pacific region in the forecast period.
