Rising Need to Maintain Smooth Functioning of Machines will Drive Market

The increasing prices of fuel have compelled shipping industries to operate engines at slow steam levels for saving more fuel. This will further increase the possibility of corrosion in engines as marine engines are not susceptible to operating at reduced rates. The increasing need to ensure the proper and safe functioning of engines is a major factor responsible for driving the marine lubricants market. Besides this, the increasing trade relations between nations is also adding a boost to the overall growth of the market. Additionally, the increasing popularity of e-commerce overseas is further expected to add impetus to the market in the forecast period. There is also the demand for protecting marine vessels from corrosion and this will help increase the demand for shell marine lubricants in the forecast period. Furthermore, the ongoing trend of bio-based marine lubricants is likely to create lucrative growth opportunities in the future market.
