Low Viscosity Poly Alpha Olefin Market to be Dominated by Lubricant & Grease Manufacturers Segment Through 2028

Rising demand for oil & gas production and growing demand from automobile & cosmetic industries are factors to drive the demand for the global low viscosity poly alpha olefin market in the forecast period 2024-2028.

According to TechSci Research report, “Low Viscosity Poly Alpha Olefin Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2018-2028F”, The global low viscosity poly alpha olefin market is projected to grow at a significant rate in the forecast period 2024-2028. Low-viscosity poly alpha olefin is one of the most conventional & major synthetic base oil utilized as industrial and automotive lubricant. Due to their characteristics, it is used as raw material to prepare cosmetic and personal hygiene products like soaps, lotions, color cosmetics, hair care products, creams, and antiperspirants. Hence, rising demand for cosmetic and personal hygiene products is expected to propel the demand for low-viscosity poly alpha olefin in the market.

Adverse effect on humans and fluctuation of raw material prices are the primary factors hindering the growth of the low-viscosity poly alpha olefin market. As low-viscosity poly alpha olefin is manufactured by crude oil or petroleum by-product, any adverse impact on crude will directly impact the low-viscosity poly alpha olefin market. Any hindrance in the supply chain, sanctions on the nation, and foreign relations will also impact the price of petroleum and low-viscosity poly alpha-olefin. Apart from these, it creates irritation to the eyes, nose, and sensitive skin when exposed to the product and needs proper precaution while working. Therefore, the abovementioned factor is expected to obstruct the low-viscosity poly alpha olefin market share in the forecasted period.

Global Low Viscosity Poly Alpha Olefin Market is segmented based on type and application.

Based on type, the market is divided into viscosity less than 5 cSt and viscosity 5-10 cSt. As per estimates, the viscosity less than 5 cSt segment will experience the highest market share during the forecast period. The lower viscosity helps in faster and smoother flow from storage container. This in turn requires less energy to transmission lubrication throughout the engine, thereby making the lubricant and oil more operational. Therefore, viscosity less than 5 cSt type low viscosity poly alpha olefin is expected to dominate the segment.

Based on application, the market is divided into aerosol, adhesives/sealants, refining/oil & gas production, lubricant & grease manufacturers, metal working, cosmetics, mining, and others. The lubricant & grease are expected to hold the largest market share and maintain their dominance in the projected period. Owing to the primary application of the low viscosity poly alpha olefin as lubricant & grease used in the automobile and industrial machine, the rising demand for automotive and industrial machines is expected to propel the demand for low-viscosity poly alpha olefin in the market. Therefore, the lubricant & grease segment is expected to dominate the market.

Major companies operating in global low viscosity poly alpha olefin market are:

• INEOS Group Holdings S.A.
• Exxonmobil Chemical International Services Limited
• Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC
• Shanghai Matex Chemicals Co., Ltd.
