The global Agricultural Lubricants Market is expected to witness an increase in size from 1477.64 kilo tons in 2022 को 1770.44 kilo tons in 2028, with a compounded annual growth rate (सीएजीआर) का 3.13% से 2023 को 2028.

The market is driven by several major factors. Firstly, the provision of subsidies for farm machinery by the Indian and Chinese governments has played a significant role in driving market growth. इसके अतिरिक्त, increasing rates of farm mechanization in developing countries have contributed to market expansion. However, the high cost of synthetic and bio-based lubricants is expected to hinder the growth of the market.

Farm mechanization involves the use of machinery to carry out agricultural tasks without human or animal assistance. This process significantly enhances the productivity of farmers by improving operational timeliness and job quality. It reduces labor-intensive tasks, improves cropping intensity and precision in input placement, and minimizes losses in crop production stages. The adoption of farm mechanization aims to increase output and productivity while reducing production costs.

Traditionally, agriculture has heavily relied on human labor. However, labor shortages and rising labor costs have prompted the industry to seek alternative approaches, equipment, and products. Factors such as supply chain bottlenecks, salary increases, freight rates, and raw material costs have contributed to the rising cost of farm labor. To address this challenge, agriculture is increasingly adopting equipment and technologies to supplement traditional labor.

The growing prominence of biodegradable lubricants presents an opportunity for market growth in the future. Within the Agricultural Lubricants Market, the engine oil segment holds the largest market share, accounting for over 45%. This segment is expected to maintain a healthy CAGR during the forecast period.

Engine oils are commonly used to lubricate internal combustion engines and typically consist of 75-90% base oils and 10-25% additives. They serve various purposes, including reducing wear, protecting against corrosion, and ensuring smooth operation of engine internals. By creating a thin film between moving parts, they facilitate heat transfer and minimize friction when these parts come into contact.

In the agricultural sector, engine oils are essential for tractors, harvesters, and forage equipment. They play a crucial role in reducing maintenance, providing enhanced wear and corrosion protection, ensuring higher engine reliability, and promoting better fuel efficiency. Prominent lubricant manufacturers such as Royal Dutch Shell, Total, CONDAT Group, Schaeffer Manufacturing Co., and Chevron Lubricants offer a range of engine oils specifically designed for agricultural equipment.

Leading vendors in the industry are investing in research and development to develop innovative equipment and maintain a strong foothold in the tractor market. Companies like Case IH and New Holland have introduced autonomous tractors. Other manufacturers in this segment include Deere & Company, AGCO, Claas, and Versatile.

The usage of battery power for agricultural vehicles is projected to increase in the coming years due to recent innovations that improve productivity and lower costs. These factors are expected to impact the market for engine oil in the agriculture industry.

In terms of regional dominance, Asia-Pacific holds the largest market share with over 50%, followed by North America. The robust demand from China and India is a significant driving factor for the market. चीन, being the largest lubricant consumer globally, is expected to maintain consistent consumption despite slower economic growth. With approximately 7% of the global agricultural acreage, China feeds 22% of the world’s population. The country is also a major producer of crops such as rice, cotton, potatoes, and vegetables, making agricultural machinery crucial for agricultural modernization. The Chinese government is actively supporting and modernizing the domestic agricultural equipment sector by integrating the industry, developing technologically advanced products, and promoting joint R&D facilities with foreign companies. This stimulates the growth of the agricultural machinery industry and creates demand for agricultural lubricants.

आगे, there is a strong correlation between agricultural productivity and farm mechanization. The proper use of equipment can increase agricultural productivity by up to 30% and reduce costs by approximately 20%. The farm equipment market in India, for example, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% से 2015 को 2022. India’s agricultural equipment market consists of domestically manufactured and imported equipment, with major products including power tillers, tractors, threshers, combine harvesters, and multi-crop planters. Tractors account for over 80% of the overall agricultural equipment sold in India.

These factors collectively contribute to the growing demand in the agricultural lubricants market.
