What is Bio-Based Lubricants Market?
Bio-based lubricants are lubricants derived from bio-based raw materials such as animal fats, vegetable oils, or any other environmentally benign hydrocarbons and used as an alternative to mineral-based lubricants. These lubricants improve the lubricity, biodegradable and less toxic. Bio-based lubricants have many advantages over petroleum-based products such as naturally better lubrication, superior viscosity/pressure performance, better thin-film strength, lower volatility, higher flash point, less smoke and risk of fire. The factors such as High Demand for Bio-Based Lubricants from Power Generation and Stringent Government Rules and Regulations for User of Bio-Based Lubricants are driving the global bio-based lubricants market. The high Cost of Bio-Based Lubricants may affect the market growth. North America and Europe are the two regions accounting for the highest consumption of bio-lubricants due to high environmental awareness among end-users as well as the stringent environmental protection policies.
