What Issues Could Cold Rolling Oil Manufacturers Face Over the Coming Years?

“Depleting Crude Oil Resources to Restrain Market Growth”

Most industrial lubricants and oils are directly derived from crude oil or petroleum and fluctuations in supply and pricing of the same harm the cold rolling oils/lubricants market. Moreover, the finite nature of crude oil is also a constraining factor for the industry. Cold rolling oil suppliers are investing in the research and development of synthetic cold rolling oils and lubricants to reduce their dependence on crude oil.

Fluctuating prices of steel and aluminum in international and local markets also act as a restraining factor for cold rolling oil and lubricant shipments.

Shipments of cold rolling oils and lubricants are projected to progress at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period.

Which Regions Provide Lucrative Opportunities for Cold Rolling Lubricant Producers?

This research details the global cold rolling oils/lubricants industry landscape in regions like North America, Latin America, Europe, East Asia, South Asia & Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa (MEA).

The North American cold rolling oils/lubricants market holds a market share of 13.1% in 2022. Increasing industrialization and rapidly progressing manufacturing sector are expected to favour the consumption of cold rolling oils and lubricants in this region.

Increasing industrial activity across Europe is expected to majorly influence the demand for cold rolling oils in this region. However, fluctuations in the pricing of metals due to changing economic climate of the world is expected to negatively impact cold rolling lubricant sales in this region. The demand however is expected to see an upward trend despite this restraining factor.

The market for cold rolling oils/lubricants in South Asia and East Asia is expected to have a bright outlook. This can be attributed to high industrialization in economies like China and India. Low labour costs, government subsidies, and low production costs are majorly responsible for propelling cold rolling oil and lubricant shipments in these regions.

Demand for cold rolling oils in Latin America currently accounts for 4.2% of the global landscape. Increasing industrialization in countries like Brazil is expected to spearhead the growth in this region.

The cold rolling oils/lubricants market in the MEA region holds the lowest market share of 2.7% at present, and is anticipated to rise at a slow pace through 2028. Slow industrialization and underdeveloped economic infrastructure hamper the market potential in this region.

Category-wise Analysis

What Type of Cold Rolling Oils are Expected to See Higher Demand?

“Synthetic Rolling Lubricants to Have Bright Outlook”

Rapid industrialization and urbanization across the world have given impetus to the manufacturing sector which has subsequently increased the demand for metals in multiple end-use industries. With economies like China, India, and Brazil seeing rapid developments in the manufacturing sector, these are expected to be very lucrative for synthetic rolling lubricants and oils.

Synthetic rolling oils have a high load-bearing capacity and low coefficient of friction which is making them a popular choice among the key manufacturers across the world and hence propelling their demand.

COVID-19 Crisis Survey

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 negatively impacted the manufacturing sector and rendered many industries useless within a short period. Disruptions in the supply chain and availability of raw materials due to lockdown restrictions across the globe largely hampered manufacturing activity across the world.

With sales dropping and markets toppling, demand eventually fell and many industries were shut down to compensate for losses. Demand for metals was negatively impacted, and subsequently, sales of cold rolling oils and lubricants also experienced a downward trend.

Shipments of cold rolling oils are expected to rise at a steady CAGR in the post-pandemic era as the world returns to normalcy and demand from end-use industries such as automotive and construction sees an upward trend.

Competitive Landscape

Cold rolling oil/lubricant manufacturers are investing in the research & development of new products to meet the changing demand of the industry. Cold rolling oil suppliers are focusing on enlarging their footprint across the globe through various acquisitions and mergers.
