Pour Point Depressant Market Size To Reach $2.98 Billion By 2030

Pour Point Depressant Market Growth & Trends

The global pour point depressant market size is estimated to reach USD 2.98 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. One of the key drivers of the market is their extensive use in the oil & gas, automotive, and marine industries. In cold regions, crude oil and other fuels tend to become viscous than in normal conditions leading to the formation of wax crystals. Hence, pour point depressants are added to ensure smooth transportation as well as usage of fluids in their respective applications.

The marine industry is a major consumer of pour point depressants as they play an important role in ensuring the efficiency of lubricants used for marine applications. The marine industry often operates in extreme cold weather conditions such as in the Arctic, Antarctic, and other tundra regions. The pour point depressants are employed in such conditions to prevent the thickening of lubricants due to low temperatures, hence ensuring reliable and smooth engine operations.

The rise of the global aerospace industry has acted as another major driver for pour point depressants sector. High-altitude flights cause temperatures to drop drastically, and the lubricants used in aircraft engines tend to freeze under such conditions. Private Airlines traverse diverse climatic conditions during global flights and hence might experience a drop in lubricant performance necessitating the use of additives to ensure efficient use.

The automotive industry has experienced global growth in latest years on account of an increase in per capita incomes and urbanization in developing economies such as China, India, Brazil, and others. For instance, as per the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, India registered an annual production of 22.93 million automobiles in the year 2022. The country also experienced an increase in vehicle sales to 3.89 million in the year 2023 and its car market is expected to grow by 9% between 2022-27, aiding the consumption of additives used in engine manufacturing.
