To learn more about this report, request sample copy

North America currently dominates the global turbine drip oil market with an estimated market share of 38.7% in 2024, owing to its large installed base of gas turbines across utilities and industrial sectors. Stringent emission regulations in the U.S. and Canada boosts the need for efficient turbines with advanced lubrication solutions. This boosts turbine drip oil consumption. Major turbine OEMs such as General Electric and Siemens have a sizable manufacturing and service network across the region. Their focus on high performance turbine oils for new turbines as well as re-lubrication of installed fleets can drive the regional market growth. However, pricing pressure due to shale gas abundance may limit demand growth from the utilities sector.

Asia Pacific region is poised to emerge as the fastest growing market for turbine drip oils. Countries like China, India and Japan have been aggressively adding gas-fired power generation capacities mainly to reduce dependency on coal. This offers aftermarket opportunities for turbine lubrication products. Furthermore, initiatives such as 'Make in India' are attracting global turbine OEMs to set up local manufacturing plants. Their focus on supplying customized lubricant solutions can boost usage of turbine oils. Growth in the region's petrochemicals industry along with the expanding manufacturing sector can boost demand from industrial gas turbines. However, expensive import duties on lubricant imports in countries like India may support local turbine oil manufacturers.
