The global aerospace engine oil market size was USD XX Mn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising industrialization and tourism activities and the subsequent need for fast and safe air transportation. The expansion of aerospace exploration activities carried out by aerospace agencies boosts the market significantly.
Air transportation is evolving at a rapid pace aided by a transformation in aircraft design and engineering and an emphasis on safety throughout the manufacturing process. Substantial changes in the aircraft design have been made to improve the efficiency of the aircraft engines with the help of refining the aerodynamics of the aircraft.
Aircraft engines are exposed to the highest amount of wear & tear and heat as compared to any other machine on the Earth. The aircraft engines that drive the propulsion system go through rigorous wear and tear and temperature fluctuations. Aircraft engines need specialized engine oils that aid in improving the performance of the aircraft under extreme conditions.
Engine oils help reduce the temperature and sludge buildup inside the engine compartment by reducing the friction of internal parts. When the aircraft is in motion the engine oil constantly flows inside the combustion chamber of the aircraft to keep engine parts running smoothly by substantially reducing friction and wear.
Modern engine oils are developed by oil & gas companies to provide additional benefits such as protecting the aircraft engine from corrosion, removing sludge, and improving operational efficiency. The performance of aerospace engine oils is enhanced by adding chemical compounds known as additives. The additives protect the engine parts against extreme wear and temperature. The viscosity index improvers, dispersants, and corrosion inhibitors in the additives enhance the engine performance and lifespan substantially.
Increasing number of air travelers, trade activities, and demand for safe air travel is anticipated to drive the market. Aerospace engine oils developed by oil refining companies provide a smooth traveling experience for travelers by keeping the engine in good condition.
Implementation of stringent safety regulations related to storage are likely to hinder the market. Engine oils are highly vulnerable to contamination occurring due to poor maintenance practices of a storage system. Engine oil containers rolling out of the storage facilities need to go through quality checks. The quality checks are carried out to verify if the oil quality is deteriorated to prevent the risk of contamination.
The advancements in oil technology by leveraging molecular engineering to improve fuel economy, engine responsiveness, and anti-friction properties are expected to create opportunities in the market. The oil producers produce application-specific high-performance aerospace engine oils by improving the molecular structure and balancing the viscosity-temperature response of a lubricant system so that the engine functions to its optimal limit.
