Market Trends of Gear Oils Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Gear Oils Market according to our research experts:
Growing Demand from Wind Energy to Increase the Consumption
- Gear oils find their applications in wind turbines for lubrication of the main gearbox and other gear motor components.
- This is because of the high temperatures, bearing wear, corrosion and oxidation, and load weights involved during the process of power generation.
- There is a rising demand for synthetic gear oils in wind turbines, due to their enhanced properties over their mineral-based counterparts, due the performance additives used during the formulation of synthetic oils, as per the requirement.
- Power generation from wind energy is growing at a rapid pace, globally, with continuously increasing installed capacities of wind turbines every year. The decrease in the prices in the offshore industry has been one of the contributors to the growth of wind power generation market by generating investments in the offshore industries in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific regions, which is further expected to boost the demand for gear oils during the forecast period.
