Viscosity Index Improvers (VIIs), also known as Viscosity Modifiers, comprise a class of additives that improve the viscosity-temperature characteristics of the lubricant, making the oil's viscosity more stable as its temperature changes.
Lubricant Viscosity Index Improvers is made from polymers, which are long and flexible molecules used in the production of lubricant to reduce lubricant viscosity changes at high and low temperatures. When viscosity index improvers are added to low-viscosity oils, they effectively thicken the oil as temperature increases. This means the lubricating effect of mineral oils can be extended across a wider temperature range.
The technical barriers of lubricant viscosity index improvers are not high, however, Industrial monopoly in the marker is rather serious, and several giants are Lubrizol, Oronite, Infineum, and Afton. These companies mainly distribute in the United States, Singapore, and Europe. Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of lubricant viscosity index improvers with 36.23% share in 2016.
Lubricant viscosity index improvers improve the viscosity-temperature characteristics of the lubricant, making the oil's viscosity more stable as its temperature changes. Lubricant viscosity index improvers are commonly used in multigame engine oils, gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, power-steering fluids, greases and some hydraulic fluids. Therefore, growing demand for automotive industry and industrial lubricant has driven the growth of global lubricant viscosity index improvers market. The demand for lubricant viscosity index improvers is expected to continue increasing during the period of 2016-2022. Lubricant viscosity index improvers industry will usher in a stable growth space.
In the past few years, the price of lubricant viscosity index improvers decreased and we expect the price will slightly lower in the next few years. However, the improvement of energy, transportation costs, employee wages, and equipment depreciation will play a significant role in promoting the cost of lubricant viscosity index improvers. As the same time, companies are focusing on technological innovation, equipment upgrades, and process improvements, to reduce costs and improve quality. With the snatch for market share in emerging regions, the competition in lubricant viscosity index improvers industry will become more intense.
