Global friction modifiers market: Demand for new lubricants with improved fuel economy

The demand for new lubricants with improved fuel economy is increasing due to technological advances. In machinery, lubricants help in reducing the amount of friction between two surfaces. When the base oil in the oil or grease does not have enough lubricity, friction modifiers are added to perform the function efficiently.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on specialty chemicals, “The lifespan of automobiles increased from eight years in 1995 to approximately twelve years in 2018 due to superior engine performance. Engine performance depends on the type of the lubricant used, its viscosity, and its ability to reduce friction and wear in machine components. The function of friction modifiers depends on the application in which they are used.”
