Aviation Lubricants Market

GMI Research analysis indicates that the Aviation Lubricant Market size was estimated at USD 794 million in 2022 and is slated to register a single digit CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period, and is projected to reach USD 1,285 million in 2030

Aviation Lubricant Market Overview

Aviation lubricant uses certain kind of piston and turbine engine oils that are designed for improving the aircraft engine’s performance at extremely high temperatures. It is odorless, clean, and clear oil is used in the maintenance and repairing of aircraft structures, engines, and systems. These lubricants help to reduce fuel consumption and bring flexibility to large-scale operations of the aerospace industry. Aerospace lubricants are selected based on several parameters such as fluid-film lubrication, operating environment, compatibility, boundary lubrication performance, fire resistance, stability, toxicity & biodegradability and, susceptibility to additives.
