One major trend in this market is the shift from Monograde Oils to Multigrade Oils. There is a rapid shift in preference from monograde to multigrade oils across the world. The trend is predominant in North America and Europe. Multigrade oils are preferred in these regions on account of their better cold pumpability.

According to the report, one key driver of this market is the growing Awareness of Need for Energy Efficiency. Lubricant additives influence energy efficiency by reducing energy losses. The use of lubricant additives helps in reducing friction losses in hydrodynamic, elastohydrodynamic and boundary lubrication regimes. The loss of energy depends on the viscosity and chemical composition of the type of lubricant used.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the increased Adoption of Hybrid Electrical Vehicles. With increasing environmental regulations and pollution control measures, there is an increasing prominence of HEVs that are powered by a combination of electric motor and IC engines.
