Industrialization has Resulted in Growing Demand for Nanoparticles and Copolymer Blends for Oil Additives

Published: May 2024

Global viscosity index improver market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031).This growth is supported by the growing usage of hydraulic fluid for lubricating heavy-load machinery. Manufacturers of industrial oils and greases are focusing on the automotive and metalworking industries as potential sources of income. This is because of their products' exceptional electrical resistance, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Increased machine usage as a result of this trend is driving up demand for viscosity improvers.

Furthermore, to improve vehicle performance and efficiency in light-duty sectors, manufacturers in the oil and lubricant industry are creating engine oils containing nanoparticles to lessen the damage caused by cold starts. To increase engine thermal oxidation stability, automakers are creating hydrogenated styrene-isoprene (HSD) copolymers.
