Global Lubricant Additives: Market Analysis and Opportunities

Lubricant quality continues to improve, driven by regulations for fuel economy and emissions control. China has released their China VI emission standard for 2021, and India plans to skip Stage V and jump directly to Bharat Stage VI emission standard by 2020. ACEA 2018 is planned and ILSAC GF-6 tentatively set for 2020, both categories introducing new and replacement testing that will influence future additive formulations. These factors create new business and growth opportunities and challenges for the lubricant additive industry.
