Europe Bio-based Lubricants Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Europe Bio-based Lubricants Market is estimated to reach USD 479.34 million by 2033 with a CAGR 6.03%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Europe Bio-based Lubricants Market, including market size and trends, product mix, distribution channels, and supplier analysis. Bio-based lubricants, sometimes referred to as bio-lubricants, are lubricants whose primary constituents or base are renewable, bio-derived materials. Natural sources like vegetable oils, animal fats, and other bio-based feedstock are the source of these lubricants. They are made for the automotive, industrial, marine, and aerospace industries, among other uses, where they lubricate and lessen friction between moving parts.
- In 2022, ExxonMobil increased its focus on biofuels in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation. They acquired a 49.9% stake in Biojet AS, a biofuels business located in Norway that produces low-emission biofuels and biofuel components including lubricants and diesel from wood-based construction waste and forestry.
- In 2022, Castrol introduced BioTac MP2, an all-purpose extreme pressure grease with several uses for exposed deck applications, including wire ropes and low-speed bearings.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: Growing mining sector should boost demand for bio-based lubricants in the forecast years. In European countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom, the mining sector would provide a substantial opportunity for bio-based lubricant manufacturers. Governments across Europe are attempting to reduce reliance on imported key minerals by revitalising mining activities and achieving self-sufficiency in the supply of important minerals. They are taking steps to increase mineral manufacturing across the country through investments, initiatives, and collaborations. In addition, governments across Europe have taken steps such as investing in the mining sector to increase the use of sustainable resources. This is consistent with the European countries' green transition goal of reducing carbon emissions to near-zero levels in future years. As a result, as the mining sector expands and strives for sustainable resources, demand for bio-based lubricants is likely to surge in the region over the next few years.
Challenges: High costs associated with the production of bio-based lubricants - The high production cost has been a major hurdle for companies encouraging the expansion of bio-based lubricants in the market. Bio-based lubricants were much more expensive to manufacture than traditional lubricants due to the high cost of raw materials sourced from crops such as corn, soybeans, and sugarcane, which are more expensive than the components used in petroleum-based lubricants. Furthermore, the manufacturing process for bio-based lubricants has been highly complex, requiring significant energy consumption and heavy equipment. As a result, the entire cost of producing bio-based lubricants was much greater than their conventional equivalents. The price discrepancy between bio-based and conventional lubricants made it difficult for bio-based lubricants to compete effectively in the market and acquire widespread acceptability.

COVID-19 Impact on Europe Bio-based Lubricants Market
COVID-19 expanded throughout major global economies, resulting in nationwide lockdowns that affected a wide range of sectors. During the outbreak, the automotive industry was one of the hardest hit, affecting the demand for bio-lubricants. During the coronavirus epidemic, demand for bio-lubricants declined. One of the most pressing problems is the scarcity of raw materials, which will limit businesses' capacity to meet consumer demand. During the epidemic, government laws curtailed production for an extended period of time. Rising environmental concerns are putting pressure on governments to address serious climate challenges, and as a result, they are investing in eco-friendly functions and products. Furthermore, firms' various efforts to expand the bio-lubricants market size will have a favourable impact in the post-COVID-19 era and yield huge market returns.
