The global aviation lubricant market size was valued at around USD 1.95 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD 3 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising air passenger traffic and increasing demand for modern aircraft.

Global Aviation Lubricant Market Outlook

Lubrication refers to a substance used to control friction between two moving surfaces. Lubricants are used in aircraft across the globe to avoid any kind of friction. The types of friction include sliding friction, rolling friction, and wiping friction. In sliding friction, one surface slides over another surface that is not flat or smooth, which causes friction. In rolling friction, a sphere or roller rolls over a surface, such as ball bearings. This type of friction creates less friction than sliding friction. The third type is wiping friction, which ensues between two or multiple gears. The pressure and the load applied to gears can vary in this type of friction. Gear lubricant is the solution to avoid these types of friction. 

To reduce any type of friction and ensure smooth operations, lubricants are used to act as a cushion between two metal surfaces. The functions of aviation lubricants include cooling, cleaning, sealing, and controlling corrosion and rust in an aircraft engine. Lubricants remove varnishes, sludges, or any grunge accumulated on plugs, in oil pans, and on the screens of aircraft. Lubricants clean airplane engines to improve their combustion process of it. Airplane lubricant works as a heat-transferring medium that travels through the moving parts of the engine and dissipates them.  This aids in the avoidance of galling, melting, and scarring problems. Lubricants facilitate sealing the gasket parts and rubber seals of the crankshaft.

Aviation lubricants are important for airplane engines to perform their functions properly and expand the period between repair services.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

  • Increasing demand for active fleet driving from Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair, & Operations (MRO) sectors is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
  • Rising defense expenditure by countries such as the US, China, Russia, and the UK boosts the market.
  • Growing technological developments in sophisticated aircraft spur the global aviation lubricant market.
  • Rising development of advanced lubricants to support operations of different aircraft is estimated to fuel the market during the forecast years.
  • Increasing threats of high susceptibility of contamination in lubricants hampers the growth of the market.
  • Stringent emission regulations are projected to hinder the growth of the market in the coming years.
  • Growing adoption of environmentally friendly lubricants offers growth opportunities to the market players in the coming years.
