Solid Dry Lubricants Market Analysis
The Solid/Dry Lubricants Market size is estimated at 18.93 kilotons in 2024, and is expected to reach 21.36 kilotons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 2.45% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 crisis heavily impacted the global automotive supply industry, as both the production and sales of motor vehicles came to a sudden halt in most regions. These work stoppages led to a loss in the production of millions of vehicles across the world. The automobile industry comes with a direct effect on the lubricants market. However, the market growth picked up steadily. It is owing to increased automotive and other construction activities after the lifting of restrictions in the second half of 2021.
- Over the medium term, the growing manufacturing industry in Asia-Pacific and growing demand for spray application in dry lubricants are significant factors driving the growth of the market studied.
- On the other hand, factors limiting the growth of the market include stringent government regulations on raw materials and the modest impact of electric vehicles (EVs) in the future. These are expected to come with a negative influence on the demand for dry lubricants.
- Nevertheless, the continuous advancements in technology and increasing environmental consciousness are likely to create lucrative growth opportunities for the global market soon.
- Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Solid Dry Lubricants Market Trends
Largest consumption from Automotive Industry
- The automotive segment is one of the rapidly growing segments for these coatings. The growing trend of advanced surface engineering in the automotive industry for better user experience is boosting the demand for solid (dry) lubricants in the automotive industry.
- Dry lubricants are used in brake calipers, fluid delivery tubes, fasteners, tie rod-ends, anti-vibration components, and shock rods. It is also used in piston rings, engine valves, car door handles, emblems, front grills, plated aluminum wheels, and fuel injection housing, among others, to achieve the desired wear, friction, and corrosion resistance in vehicles.
- According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), global motor vehicle production reached 85,016,728 units in 2022. The production increased by 5.9% when compared to the previous year's data. Also, motor vehicle production growth year-on-year between 2021 and 2022 markets was at 6%.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market
- The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market share. In Asia-Pacific, China is the largest economy,
- The automotive industry is the major driving factor for solid (dry) lubricants in China. However, the growth is different for all markets. The passenger car market is down due to policy overdrafts and high base, which became the main factors for the low growth of the automobile market.
- In developing countries, the demand for passenger cars is significantly increasing due to the growth in middle-class incomes, technology, and sales promotions provided to people by automobile manufacturers.
- According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), Asia-Pacific has led global automobile production in recent years. China is the largest producer of automobiles in the country. In 2022, china produced over 23.84 million units of passenger cars and remained at the top, followed by Japan with 6.57 million units.
- According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers(CAAM), in 2022, approximately 23.56 million passenger cars and 3.3 million commercial vehicles were sold in China.
- Additionally, as per the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the Japanese automotive industry saw a rise in the production value of motor vehicles in 2022, reaching JPY 19.29 trillion (USD 13.39 trillion), compared to approximately JPY 17.65 trillion (USD 12.26 trillion) in the preceding year.
- The factors above are expected to increase the demand for the market studied during the forecast period.
