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.
