"Growth in synthetic lubricants to support industry growth"

In 2015, the global market for poly alpha oil (PAO), was worth more than USD 1.0 Billion. The industry's growth is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for synthetic lubricants due to lower engine wear.

Poly alpha olefin has many benefits, including improved thermal and antioxidant stability, hydrolytic stability and demulsibility. These properties make PAO an excellent choice for extreme temperatures such as high operating temperatures and low startup temperatures.

Due to strict regulations and environmental protection mandates, the demand for synthetic fluids will rise.

U.S. polyalpha olefin market revenue by application, 2014-2025 (USD Million).

The market's key driver will be the growing demand for synthetic lubricants from different end-use industries, including automotive and oil and gas. PAOs are used primarily as metal working fluids and compressor oils, engine oils and heat transfer fluids. They also serve to reduce component failure and increase drain intervals.

Automotive lubricant formulations are gaining popularity due to the increasing demand for fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

Industry participants will continue to face volatility in the prices of essential raw material. Increasing oil production in OPEC and Russia will ensure that alpha olefin production is not disrupted by fluctuations in raw materials prices.

Poly alpha olefin manufacturing is possible using different technologies and processes. These technologies were patented by key market players. Numerous market players have patented these technologies.

"Engine oil was 2015's most popular application segment"

PAO was highly popular in the engine oil segment. It accounted for more than 65% of all the market in 2015. This is due to its ability to lubricate at both extremes of the temperature spectrum. PAO flows faster at cold temperatures and resists oil consumption, viscosity break down, sludging, and oxidation at higher temperatures.

The forecast period will see high growth in gear oil due to its higher hydrolytic stability and demulsibility, higher viscosity index, lower pour point, and higher hydrolytic stability & desulsibility. Synthetic gear oil can be used to meet special requirements like extremely low temperatures or high temperatures, high loads and unusual ambient conditions.

Because of their outstanding performance and temperature properties, synthetic greases containing PAO are frequently used in outdoor equipment. They can also be modified to resist excessive moisture.

"Europe was followed closely by North America as the largest regional market"

In 2015, North America's poly alpha olefin industry accounted for more than 30% of global revenue. The U.S. Shale gas boom has brought new hope to petrochemical producers. It has also boosted the production of ethylene in the region, which is a key raw material in PAO production.

Globally, biodegradable hydraulic fluids have become more important. The Blue Angel Scheme (which supports biodegradable base oils) and The White Swan Scheme (which regulates biodegradable oils in Europe) are two of the main regulations that will drive regional industry. Due to growing demand for automotive lubricants in Asia Pacific, the region is expected to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period.

"Integration of own patented technology to increase industry competitiveness"

ExxonMobil Corp. and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP have their own patented technology to produce PAOs, which has driven the market worldwide, particularly in North America.

Major industry players have demonstrated a high degree of integration in the industry. Shell Chemicals and Q-Chem. are the primary key players. They have integrated their operations throughout the value chain, from production and delivery of raw materials to final-use products.

This level of integration allows these companies to reduce raw material procurement costs as well as strengthen their presence in various end-use sectors. The technology used to manufacture poly alpha olefin is patented by key market players and can be found at every level of this value chain.
