Lubricants to 2018

• The collection of Lubricants and Oils market
  research reports has a new addition of
  Lubricants to 2018 on RnRMarketResearch.com.
• US demand to approach 2.5 billion gallons in 2018
• US demand for lubricants is forecast to increase
  less than one percent per year through 2018,
  reaching nearly 2.5 billion gallons. Improved
  efficiency and less frequent oil replacement will
  be a common trend throughout lubricant markets,
  serving to restrain demand. Although growth will
  be modest, this will nonetheless represent a
  rebound from losses between 2003 and 2013 as
  manufacturing activity and economic growth pick
  up, supported by the countrys improving energy
  outlook. Moreover, there will be significant
  growth opportunities in key markets such as
  construction, heavy-duty trucks, and oil and gas
  production, and for premium products throughout a
  variety of lubricant markets.

Lubricants to 2018

• Light vehicle market to see shift in product mix
• The light vehicle market will experience an
  ongoing shift toward longer lasting, higher
  quality lubricants, leading to declining total
  volumes despite good prospects for synthetic
  engine oils. Light vehicles hold a unique
  position as both the largest market for
  lubricants and the one most visible to consumers.
  Improvements in vehicle technology and lubricant
  formulations will be rapid in this market, driven
  by an industrywide focus on greater fuel
  efficiency in cars and trucks. As the US light
  vehicle fleet gradually moves toward cars calling
  for very high quality, low viscosity oils, these
  types of products will continue to gain favor.
  Manufacturer and industry specifications such as
  the upcoming ILSAC GF-6 and General Motors
  current DEXOS standards will be influential in
  promoting these trends, as will marketing efforts
  by lubricant companies seeking to promote high
  value premium engine oils.

Lubricants to 2018

• Nonvehicle markets to offer better volume growth
• Better prospects for volume growth will exist in
  the construction, oil and gas, and machinery
  manufacturing markets. The US construction
  industry is expected to continue a strong
  recovery through 2018, and will be among the
  fastest growing lubricant markets. The oil and
  gas industry, which has seen rapid growth in
  drilling and exploration since 2006, will
  continue to provide rising demand for lubricants
  in oilfield and pipeline applications as well.
  Furthermore, natural gas prices are expected to
  remain low by historical standards through 2018,
  promoting a wide range of manufacturing and other
  industrial activity. Energy intensive industries
  such as the production of metals, motor vehicles,
  and machinery will all benefit. There will be
  implications for the electrical power industry as
  well, as greener energy sources such as natural
  gas and wind power supplant coal as preferred
  fuels.

Lubricants to 2018

• Premium products hold the best growth
  opportunities
• Among product types, some of the best
  opportunities will be for industrial and
  heavy-duty diesel engine oils, gas turbine oils,
  and industrial hydraulic fluids. There will be
  opportunities in most markets for premium
  products that can offer better lubrication,
  longer drain intervals, or increased
  environmental friendliness. Synthetic,
  re-refined, and bio-based oils will substantially
  outpace conventional petroleum lubricants
  overall.
