The Lubricant Packaging Market is witnessing significant growth with the growing demand for quality lubricants across various industries. The global lubricant packaging market share was valued at USD 7.37 billion by 2028. Proper lubricant packaging method is necessary to maintain their desirable properties as well as for easy transport and secure storage.
The rising sales of automobiles and the growth of power generation, oil & gas, and mining industries have been conducive for the growth of the global lubricant packaging market. The market is expanding further with the development of specific lubricants for different machines of different industries. The global lubricant packaging market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.85 % over the current forecast period (2021-2028).
Plastic Drums are the most widely used containers for storing lubricants replacing earlier-used alloy drums. These drums are inexpensive and durable so they facilitate low-cost transportation and storage. HDPE and Polypropylene are emerging as the best packaging material as they offer other advantages and they are recyclable too. Therefore with the advancements in packaging technology, the market is getting better prospects.
Covid-19 had a negative impact on the global lubricant packaging market share. The poor performance of the automotive industry, the major end-user industry, during the period, led to a downfall in the demand for lubricant and lubricant packaging. Similarly, less demand from other end-user industries like Oil & Gas, Machinery Industry hampered the market growth. There were large-scale disruptions in the supply chain of lubricant packaging owing to restrictions on travel and movement of goods for curbing the virus spread. However, the market has shown a quick recovery in the few months of relaxation of restriction measures globally.
The major global companies playing a key role in the lubricant packaging market are :
Drivers
The increasing demand for lubricants and therefore of convenient lubricant packaging solutions is driving the growth of the global lubricant packaging market size. The global demand for vehicles having IC engines has risen considerably in this decade thereby generating huge demand for lubricants. Additionally, the increase in sales of two-wheelers is also fuelling the market demand. Moreover, the considerable expansion of industries like mining, oil & gas, power generation, etc is also contributing towards the growth of the global lubricant packaging industry. The ongoing R&D works in packaging technology are benefiting the lubricant packaging industry too. New manufacturing materials like HDPE and Polypropylene have been very beneficial to the market.
Restraints
The increasing use of renewable energy like electricity in industrial equipment is hampering the growth of the global lubricant packaging market. The demand from the automotive industry, the major end-user, is falling significantly with the rise in the sale of hybrid and e-vehicles.
Technology Analysis
Lubricant packaging is the use of different containers for the storage and transportation of lubricants. Lubricant packaging helps to store lubricant safely for a longer time without losing its properties. Moreover, it also enables easy transportation and storage of lubricants.
Metal alloys and rigid plastic containers are one of the most widely used packaging materials for lubricants. The rigid plastic containers made by injection molding methods are getting more popular as they don't leak easily and are resistant to corrosion damage. Among the different container shapes, round containers are most widely used. These containers provide greater stacking capacity to reduce storage space and are also convenient to transport.
