Metal Carboxylates Market Trends




  • GROWING DEMAND FOR ADDITIVES IN LUBRICATING OILS AND GREASES




According to the U.S. EPA, the typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. With passenger vehicles composing 93% of the estimated 1.2 billion vehicles globally, the amount of carbon emissions from passenger vehicles alone climbs to a concerning total. With carbon emissions rising rapidly since the Industrial Revolution, stringent environmental regulations are being enforced. Fuel additives demand is driven by increasing demand of hydrocarbon fuels for heat and power generation from transportation and power generation. Additives are used to enhance performance and correct the deficiencies of fuels or lubricants used in several applications. In addition, with the widespread inclusion of biodiesel as part of the diesel fuel blend due to the rising environmental concerns will also necessitate the use of fuel additives. Similarly, with the increase in use of marine and aviation transport, lubricant additives are also gaining an upsurge demand. moreover, with the aging transportation fleet, its demand will rise subsequently in the future. Thus, with growing demand for fuel and lubricant additives, the market for metal carboxylates such as iron and manganese carboxylates are likely to grow as metal carboxylate are vital functional additives. Thus, increasing demand in the lubricating oils and greases industry is a factor driving the growth of the metal carboxylates market revenue.
