Polar molecules, known as friction modifiers, are added to lubricants to reduce surface contacts like rolling and sliding that occurs in machines. These are commonly referred to as boundary lubrication additives. For example, utilizing extreme-pressure or anti-wear additives can prove to be too harsh for the softer yellow metals when worm gears are involved. To mitigate this, friction modifiers are added to improve the oil's lubricity. An automated gearbox uses a single fluid to perform multiple functions, such as lubrication and hydraulic power transfer. To ensure that the friction bands and clutches in the gearbox work efficiently, friction is necessary. However, friction modifiers are also required to make the change in speed smoother. Without these modifiers, the clutches and bands would produce an unpleasant sound and could potentially damage the vehicle, causing inconvenience to the driver.
The transportation industry's growth has led to increased global use of lubricants, which has expanded the market for friction modifiers. The demand for friction modifiers is expected to rise in emerging economies like India and South Korea, driving the market's expansion worldwide. In developed markets like North America and Europe, regulations requiring the use of energy-efficient lubricants in automotive manufacturing will also impact the call for friction modifiers. Friction modifiers, also known as anti-friction additives, are expected to benefit from the potential expansion of the automotive sector and rapid industrialization in developing countries. The growing consumption of motor oil is another trend expected to positively impact the worldwide market for friction modifiers. Friction modifiers are primarily used in motor oils to prolong the life of automobile engines, and the APAC region's automotive industry's expansion is predicted to increase motor oil consumption, driving the friction modifier market's growth at a CAGR of nearly 4% in the foreseeable future.
The automotive industry's use of friction modifiers may face obstacles due to the growing adoption of alternative fuels and the increasing demand for electric cars, which could limit the global market's expansion. Since electric vehicles rely on direct current electricity and do not require combustion engines powered by petrol or diesel, friction modifiers are unnecessary.
The COVID-19 pandemic was caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was first identified in Wuhan, China. The severity of the virus's symptoms can vary based on the individual's immune system. Chronically ill patients are at higher risk when exposed to the virus. In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a pandemic, leading to severe lockdown measures being implemented worldwide. As a result, supply chains and manufacturing were disrupted, causing significant difficulties for key players in various industries, including the friction modifier market. Before the pandemic, the market was experiencing growth, but due to the disruption, shares dropped sharply. However, with the government's recent unlocking guidelines, activities are returning to normal, and the market's growth rate is expected to improve.
