What Fueled The Previous Growth In The Compressor Oil Market?
The compressor oil market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been significant growth in the compressor oil market size. The market is projected to expand from $9.62 billion in 2024 to $10.27 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. Factors such as industrial and manufacturing development, increased energy requirements, optimization of manufacturing processes, improved maintenance and equipment lifespan, and strict environmental regulations have contributed to the growth witnessed in the historical period.
How Does the Forecast Look for the Compressor Oil Market Size In The Coming Years?
The Compressor Oil market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of compressor oil is predicted to experience significant expansion in the coming years. It is projected to inflate to $13.64 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
This growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as trade globalization, the development of the renewable energy sector, improvements in synthetic compressor oils, and the emphasis on eco-friendly lubricants, along with the expansion of chemical processing plants. The forecast period also expects to see major trends such as technological evolution in lubrication technology, the increasing adoption of HVAC systems, integration of the Internet of Things (IOT) and condition monitoring, refrigeration systems, and the uptake of variable speed compressors.
What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Compressor Oil Market?
The upward trend in the compressor oil market is expected to be driven by increasing requirements from the petroleum and natural gas industry. Both petroleum and natural gas are nonrenewable energy sources, with petroleum being an underground liquid mixture used to create gasoline and diesel fuel, while natural gas serves as a fossil fuel energy source. Compressor oil, used in inhibiting premature wear and tear in air compressors, plays a significant role in gas pressure elevation during transportation to the source, making it essential in the petrochemical sector. For instance, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a key agency in the U.S. Federal Statistical System, reported that the Henry Hub natural gas spot price witnessed a surge of 15% in October 2024, hitting $2.28 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). The EIA also foresees further price spikes in Henry Hub, projecting averages of $2.80/MMBtu in the last quarter of 2024 and an inflation to approximately $3.10/MMBtu in 2025. The anticipated growth is largely attributed to the increasing exports of liquefied natural gas as new export capacity emerges, thereby ramping up the overall natural gas demand. Consequently, this rise in demand from the petroleum and natural gas sector is steering the expansion of the compressor oil market.
