Mineral oil is the largest segment in the industrial lubricants industry, in terms of both value and volume, in 2019. Mineral oil-based industrial lubricants are available in light and heavy grades, depending on the usage and requirement. They are produced via petroleum refineries in large quantities because of high usage in construction, metal & mining, cement production, and other applications.


The construction segment accounts for the largest industrial lubricants market share in 2019.

The construction segment accounts for the largest share of the industrial lubricants market in 2019, in terms of both volume and value. A construction site is full of harsh conditions, where the majority of construction equipment is exposed to extreme cold, heat, moisture, and dust, which can affect the performance of equipment. The use of appropriate industrial lubricants on a construction site helps to prevent equipment failure, eliminate downtime, and reduce operating costs. Industrial lubricants are used in various construction equipment, including bulldozers, dump trucks, draglines, scrapers & shovels, and other heavy equipment.
