Rheology Modifiers Business to Grow in Next Five Years Owing to Global Demand.

Also referred to as Thickeners or Viscosifiers, Rheology Modifiers are ever-present in most products to provide specific functionality to the product. They are the key components in paints & coatings as they reduce dripping and spattering of fluid during roller or brush application. It provides high viscosity at low shear rates that is useful during drilling high-angle and horizontal wells and it also prevents sag and settling of weighting material. Rheological Properties prevent sedimentation of pigments within a formulation and ensure consistency and durability of the fluid.


Leading Market Trends:

According to IndustryARC, the major driving factor for the increasing demand for the thickening agent is the increasing demand from the paints and coatings industry which is in turn due to the growth in automotive, appliances, furniture, architectural, and other sectors which utilize paints and coatings, there by contributing to the growth of the Rheology Modifiers Market.

While on the other hand, the restricting factor of this market is the declining demand for ink consumption across the world. The increasing consumer preference for internet, electronic publishing, mobile phones, and other electronic devices has led to the reduction in the demand for published books, printed newspapers, catalogues and other printed materials. Thus, there is a low need for ink. This has hampered the growth of the print media market due to which, various printing ink players have shifted their marketing spend from print to digital media. But the improving demand for rheology is set to compensate the challenges in the future.


Application and Segment Market Trends:
Estimations suggest Paints & Coating is the major application of Rheology Modifiers followed by Cosmetics & Personal Care and Adhesives & Sealants. Paints & Coatings comprise the largest application in this global rheological platform and account for more than one-third share of the said market.

Hydraulic Fracturing, also known as Fracking, Fraccing, Hydrofracking, Hydrofracturing is a stimulation technique used to extract oil and gas from shale rocks. A large volume of hydraulically mixed liquid made of water, sand and chemical additives, is pumped down the wellbore into the reservoir formations at high pressures. This process results in small fractures, allowing the oil and gas trapped in the rock to flow back to the surface. The hydraulic fluid pumped into the wellbore consists of small quantities of chemical additives (0.8%) and large quantities of water and sand (99.2%).


Hydraulic fracturing service cost varies from well to well, depending on the number of fracturing stages and the depth of wells. Further, the costs associated with procuring water and sand plays a major role in deciding the fracturing service cost per well in each region.

Aggressive Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales Pose a Threat to Lubricant Industry in the Longer Term.

Electric Cars are the future of Automotive Industry. They do not require petroleum fuel and hence environment friendly as there is less gas emission or zero emission. That is why these are also termed as green vehicles sometimes. A consumer can choose from different types of electric vehicles such as hydrogen, Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). Hydrogen cars use hydrogen fuel cells which create electricity to drive the motor.

Plug-in hybrid cars combine an electric battery with gasoline engine; the cars can go up to 30 to 35 miles with the help of battery and then switches to internal combustion engine. On the other hand, the fully battery powered electric vehicle can go up to 100 miles with 8 hours of charging. Despite having huge popularity these vehicles have some drawbacks such as the charging time, battery weight & space, cost and others.

Electric vehicles do not have any internal combustion engine; their system is based on electric motor. There is nothing much to lubricate as there is no piston in the vehicle. This creates an uncertainty for the automotive lubricants industry and poses a question on the future of lubricants and additives manufacturers. Engine oil is the major lubricant used in gasoline and diesel engine vehicles for efficient functionality of the internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles do not require engine oil and this has created panic for big oil companies which manufacture engine oil and its additives. Currently Global Engine Oil Additives Market is valued at $9.9 Billion, which can be dropped down in future if the sales of electric vehicles continue to rise. According to European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), electrically chargeable vehicle share can reach up to 8% by 2025 in the global market. In U.S., the sales of electric vehicles growing at an annual growth rate of 36.2% with 501,369 numbers (including PHEVs and HEVs) of vehicle sold in 2013.

The only satisfaction to the lubricants manufacturers is that, it will take long time for this new age vehicle to capture significant share in the automotive industry. Also the electric vehicles require grease for its rotating devices, so the opportunity or competition will exist on other lubricants like grease. Many lubricant manufacturers are investing on research and development to bring changes in the lubrication technology which can lower the emission of hazardous gases in the environment. However, in the longer term, they have to discover other opportunities in the market to save their presence.
