Market Driver

Rising Energy Production Drives Demand for Bio-Based Lubricants in the European Market - The increasing energy production in European countries has sparked a surge in the demand for bio-based lubricants in the market. This heightened demand has been primarily attributed to the essential role lubricants play in the operation and maintenance of power generation equipment.

As these processes necessitate the use of lubricants, energy production companies, including notable players like Electricite de France SA and Engie SA, have started embracing the adoption of bio-based lubricants in the past few years. This shift also aligns with the sustainable approach adopted by governments in the region, which has been leading companies to adopt sustainable alternatives. Furthermore, the growing energy demand has prompted increased investments in the sector, which has been aimed at the development of energy plants and scaling up their production. For instance,

• In 2022, the European Investment Bank invested USD400 million, to support the development and construction of renewable energy projects in Spain and Portugal.

Hence, the heightened investment in the energy sector and constant government initiatives for decarbonization of the energy sector had a positive impact on the bio-based lubricants market. Moreover, with several sustainable energy projects in the pipeline, across the countries like Germany, the UK, etc., the demand for bio-based lubricants would further accelerate in the coming years.

Europe Bio-based Lubricants Industry Opportunities

Growing Mining Sector to Boost Bio-based Lubricants Demand in the Forecast Years - In European countries like Germany, the UK, etc., the mining sector would present a significant opportunity for bio-based lubricant manufacturers. Governments across European countries are aiming to reduce the dependence on imported critical minerals by revitalizing their mining operations & seeking self-sufficiency in the supply of crucial minerals. For this, they are taking measures to expand the manufacturing of minerals across their country through investments, initiatives, and partnerships. For instance,

• In 2023, Germany took steps to reactivate its Käfersteige mine, which had been inactive for nearly 27 years, as part of its strategy, to extract more critical minerals domestically.

In addition to this, governments across Europe have been taking initiatives like investing in the mining sector to escalate the adoption of sustainable resources. This is in line with the green transition motive of the European countries, which aims to reduce their carbon emission to near zero in future years. Hence, as the mining sector undergoes expansion & seeks to achieve sustainable resources, the demand for bio-based lubricants is expected to rise in the region across the mining sector in the coming years.
