Lubricating Vehicles Is Fastest Growing Segment Fueling The Growth Of Hydrogenated Polyisobutene Market
The global Hydrogenated Polyisobutene Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 17.33 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Hydrogenated polyisobutene is a pale yellow, viscous, nearly colorless and odorless liquid produced from hydrogenation of polyisobutene. It offers high viscosity index, shear stability and lubricity. Due its lubricating and viscosity modifying properties, hydrogenated polyisobutene finds wide applications as a thickener, emulsifier and lubricant in automotive and industrial lubricants, greases, oils and functional fluids.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the hydrogenated polyisobutene market is its growing demand from lubricants segment. Hydrogenated polyisobutene offers several properties that make it suitable for use as a viscosity index improver and lubricant in automotive and industrial lubricants. It imparts high viscosity and shear stability at high and low temperatures. Additionally, it demonstrates low volatility and favorable low and high temperature properties. Owing to these superior properties, hydrogenated polyisobutene is increasingly replacing conventional polyalphaolefins as a viscosity modifier in automotive and industrial lubricating oils and greases. Rapid industrialization and increasing vehicle fleet worldwide have propelled the demand for automotive and industrial lubricants, which in turn has driven the growth of hydrogenated polyisobutene market.
