Global Food Grade Lubricants Market - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Global Food Grade Lubricants Market, By Base Oil (Mineral Oil, Synthetic Oil), Application (Food, Beverages, Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, Others) - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029.

 Market Analysis and Size

In many countries, NSF certification is becoming the industry standard for food-grade lubricant makers. Bio-based lubricants have gained traction as a viable alternative to petroleum-based lubricants in a variety of industries, including food and transportation. Animal fats or vegetable oils are used to make them. Natural oils are chemically changed by esterification, transesterification, and oxidation to create superior bio-lubricants.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the food grade lubricants market value, which was USD 0.32 million in 2021, is expected to reach the value of USD 0.49 million by 2029, at a CAGR of  5.1% during the forecast period.  The “Food” segment's dominance can be ascribed to rising food safety concerns and the fast-growing food processing industry.

Market Definition

Food-grade lubricants must fulfil the same technical requirements as standard lubricants. They should also resist food degradation and have a neutral chemical behaviour toward food processing equipment and food packaging materials, all while adhering to food and health safety requirements. Lubricants for use in food can be sourced from petroleum or synthesised. Mineral oil-based, synthetic oil-based, and biobased food grade lubricants can all be classed by their base oil. Because of the advantageous qualities of aluminium complex thickened grease, such as high temperature resistance, water resistance, and chemical inertness toward food processing equipment, food grade lubricants play a key role in the food business.
