The global synthetic lubricants market has been segmented based on product type into commercial automotive, industrial, and consumer automotive. Industrial lubricants held the largest share in the overall market with a 38.60% share in 2011. The demand for synthetic lubricants from consumer automotive applications is anticipated to reach 11.86 mn tons by 2018, expanding at a 2.58% CAGR from 2013 to 2018.

Bio-based lubricants, though more expensive than synthetic lubricants, have been gaining prominence in recent years owing to their increased lubricity, the monetary savings they enable, and their requirement for decreased energy input. Bio-based lubricants are preferred over conventional synthetic lubricants because of their physical properties of biodegradability, renewability, and high flash points.

By raw material, the bio-based lubricants market is bifurcated into animal oils and vegetable oils. The demand for vegetable oil-based lubricants is much greater and held a share of 87.50% in the overall bio-based lubricants market in 2011.

On the basis of application, the bio-based lubricants market is categorized into hydraulic oils, automotive oils, demolding oils, process oils, chainsaw oils, lubricating grease, turbine oils, compressor oils, metal working oils, and industrial gear oils. The automotive sector forms the largest application segment and in 2011 accounted for a share of 25.70% in the overall bio-based lubricants market. Hydraulic oils form the most rapidly developing application segment and are anticipated to expand at a 6.80% CAGR from 2013 to 2018.
