The global fire resistant lubricants market size is projected to reach USD 2.4  billion by 2027 from USD 2.0  billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 3.4 %. Fire resistant lubricants are widely used in metal processing, mining, and power generation industries. The primary function of fire resistant lubricants is to reduce friction between moving surfaces and protection from higher temperatures. Fire resistant lubricants are used in metal processing for the production of steel, aluminum, and other metals. These help in reducing the engine wear and tear caused by the friction of the metal parts, as well as carrying off heat.

“HFC fire resistant lubricants was the largest type of the global fire resistant lubricants market, in terms of value, in 2021”

The HFC fire resistant lubricants were the largest type in the global fire resistant lubricants market, in terms of value, in 2021. This owes to the fact that HFC fire resistant lubricants are generally cheaper than other fire resistant lubricants. Thus, HFC fire resistant lubricants are widely used in price-sensitive regions like Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. However, HFC fire resistant lubricants are projected to register slow growth in developed regions due to growing environmental concerns and government regulations.

“Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period, in terms of both volume and value.”

Asia Pacific was the largest fire resistant lubricants market, in terms of value, in 2021. The increasing disposable income and the high growth of emerging economies in the region make Asia Pacific an attractive market for fire resistant lubricants. The increased trade and tremendous growth of production of metals are majorly responsible for the increased consumption of fire resistant lubricants, thus driving market growth.
