Agriculture Lubricants Market Report, By Type (Mineral Oil, Synthetic Lubricants, Bio based Lubricants), By Application (Hydraulics, Engines, Gear & transmission, Greasing, Implements) and Geography - Global Market Share, Trend Analysis & Forecast

Machinery and equipment employed in agriculture practices includes tractor, harvest and verge cutters which are used to reduce time and effort invested in agricultural production.  Agricultural lubricants are meant to assist machine operations and improve efficiency, lowering cost of repair and maintenance along with providing longer service life. Rising population has created high demand for food which has led to increase in need for higher productivity through agriculture sector, thus promoting use of equipment in farming, driving lubricants demand.

Agriculture Lubricants Market Trends 

• Positive indicator towards demand for biodegradable lubricants owing to stringent emission standards will positively favour product demand. Bio based lubricants are produced from plant derived materials and possess low friction coefficient, higher flash point, high viscosity index, and low evaporation rate, thus propelling industry growth.
• Growth in labour cost along with unavailability of efficient labor owing to availability of other occupational opportunities has led to rise in use of advance equipment in agriculture, which is likely to boost lubricants market growth 
• Increase in adoption of sustainable farming practices to boost yield along with financial support provided to the farmers has led to rise in product demand to offer operational assistance to the farmers
