Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9c5j4p/lubricant) has announced the addition of the "Lubricant Additives Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020" report to their offering.
This market research study analyzes the global demand for lubricant additives and provides estimates and forecasts for the market from a consumption point of view. The market for lubricant additives has been segmented based on product segments in order to provide a holistic view of the market. Market data for products have been provided on a regional level for the period 2013 to 2020.
Consumption of lubricant additives is increasing significantly due to frequent amendments in emission norms. The automotive industry is expected to be the major consumer of lubricant additives. Environmental regulations have limited the permissible amount of carbon dioxide emitted per kilometer. Europe has the most stringent norms followed by North America. The car OEMs have to ensure the emission limits of 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer by 2015. The permissible limit in Europe is targeted to be 95 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer by 2021. Projected permissible limit for the U.S. is slightly higher for 2021.
In the Asia Pacific region, Japan and South Korea have put forth stringent emission norms that aid in curbing carbon footprints. Emergent countries like China and India are also improving their emission standards. Revising emission standards for the automotive industry is one of the key steps taken by the Chinese government to reduce emission levels in the country. OEMs are also contributing in reducing emission levels by improving engine technology. Europe and North America use better technology engines and advanced quality finished lubricant oils. The same trend is being followed in some countries of Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
A comprehensive competitive landscape, which includes company market share analysis, has also been provided in the study. Key product segments that are analyzed in the report include viscosity index (VI) improvers, pour point depressants (PPD), detergents, dispersants, and others.
