Lubricants & Greases Procurement Intelligence

The lubricants & greases category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2023 to 2030.

The growth is attributed to the rising trade of vehicles & spare parts and the demand for automotive oils. There is a significant increase in the utilization of eco-friendly industrial lubricants & greases due to rising environmental awareness which has resulted in the need of more energy-conserving and green industrial solutions. These solutions are made using organic, and biodegradable ingredients and they offer premium protection that increases the life of machinery and reduces waste. Additionally, determining the correct ISO viscosity grade and viscosity index while choosing industrial lubricants is also crucial as it is used to measure the stability, and flow resistance of the lubricants.

Lubricants & Greases Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Raw material, labor, land, machinery, utility, packaging, transportation, and others are some of the cost components involved in the production of the category. Raw material (base oils, and other additives), labor, and machinery form a major part of the cost component. Raw materials account for approximately 40-45% of the total production cost. The variation in prices of raw materials has a considerable impact on the prices of lubricants.

In terms of lubricants & grease production, the hybrid model is a popular engagement model in the category, combining in-house and full-service outsourcing. Some companies have complete in-house lubricants & grease production lines from extraction and refining to packing lubricants & greases into barrels/tankers and transporting to the end destination. Companies such as BP Plc, Chevron Corporation, Shell, and others have complete in-house production lines. However, some suppliers opt for partial outsourcing. They outsource operations such as transportation services. Employing an in-house team for a complete production line from procuring raw material to quality testing, packaging, and transportation can be beneficial for the company.
