“Growing Shift Toward Fuel-Efficient and Low-Emission Additive Formulations”
- One prominent trend in the global lubricating oil additives market is the growing shift toward fuel-efficient and low-emission additive formulations.
- This trend is driven by increasingly stringent emission norms globally, the automotive industry's push for enhanced fuel economy, and consumer demand for greener, cleaner lubricants.
- For instance, companies such as Chevron Oronite and Infineum are developing next-generation additive packages that reduce friction, minimize wear, and lower particulate emissions, supporting regulatory compliance and improving engine performance.
- The shift toward additive technologies that help extend drain intervals, improve oxidation stability, and enhance low-temperature performance is shaping innovation in the market.
- As OEMs adopt downsized engines and hybrid technologies, lubricating oil additives are being reformulated to maintain compatibility while delivering superior protection—positioning advanced, eco-conscious additive blends as a key growth driver.
