Drivers:

Rising Focus on Enhancing the Operability of Ship Engines will Drive Market

The rise in fuel prices has propelled shipping companies to operate engines at maximum levels by slow steaming and save fuel. However, marine engines are incapable of operating at reduced rates continuously and this raises the possibility of corrosion in the engine and its associated strained components. For ensuring proper and safe functioning of engines, marine lubricants are a necessity. The above factor stands as a major driver for the marine lubricants market growth. Additionally, the rise in trade relations between nations and the expansion of e-commerce overseas are also helping the market gain impetus.

Furthermore, analysts at Fortune Business Insights™ say “Focus on keeping machines and marine vessels free from corrosion will help the market gain traction in the forecast period. This, coupled with the advent of bio-based lubricants in the market, will create lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the long run.”
