Usage of Lubricants Set to Rise Sharply in Mining and Quarry Applications in Future

Lubricants are viscous fluids that are used in several industrial applications for proper functioning of machines and their components. Just like any other industry, the mining sector requires machinery in abundance for its efficient functioning. This sector uses lubricants for quarry and mining applications. With the surging consumption of mineral oil lubricants and increasing mining activities in developing countries like China and India, the sales of lubricants are expected to boom in the coming years. At present, the mining sector is showing high preference for bio-based lubricants, on account of rising environmental concerns.

The increasing use of these lubricants in the coal mining industry and rising consumption of coal in the power sector in countries like Indonesia, China, and India will drive the lubricants market for mining and quarry applications at 5% CAGR during 2017–2023. The market size is expected to grow from $1,890.0 million in 2016 to $2,610.0 million by 2023. Moreover, the burgeoning demand for mineral and metal commodities and escalating consumption of natural resources like uranium, coal, and diamond will support the market growth in the coming years.

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in research and development (R&D) activities in countries like China, Australia, India, and the U.S., which has resulted in numerous innovations and technological advancements in the mining and quarrying field. These developments have further led to the increased usage of lubricants for mining and quarrying applications. Moreover, the high gross domestic product (GDP) and robust economic growth in nations like India, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia will boost the mining activities in these countries.

The mining and quarrying sector uses lubricants like mineral oil, bio-based, and synthetic. Among these, mineral oil lubricants are used most widely, due to their cost effectiveness. These lubricants are derived from crude oil; whereas, synthetic lubricants, such as polyalkylene glycols, polyalphaolefins, and ester oils, are developed by chemical reactions of substances under precise temperature and pressure. Furthermore, bio-based lubricants are derived from natural resources like mineral oils or plants. This type of lubricants ensures operational safety and improves the performance of machinery, as these are cleaners than the other two.

According to P&S Intelligence, the Asia-Pacific lubricants market for mining and quarry applications generated the largest revenue in 2016, globally. Moreover, the regional market is also expected to observe a rapid growth in the foreseeable future. This can be ascribed to the expansion of the coal mining sector in India and China, which would account for the largescale consumption of mining lubricants in the future. Additionally, the increasing implementation of government laws regarding mining lubricants will boost their adoption in the region. 

Thus, the expansion of the coal mining industry and the high-volume consumption of coal for power generation will amplify the usage of mining lubricants in the coming years.

Why Oxygen-Free Copper Market Opportunities Galore in APAC?

Image
 The major factors in the global oxygen-free copper market are skyrocketing demand for oxygen-free copper wires in the electronics & electrical industry and electric vehicles (EVs). This surging demand is owing to their ease of welding, renowned creep resistance, high impact strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and high ductility. The market is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. The outbreak of COVID-19 had disrupted the entire circular economy, significantly reducing this market’s sales because of the ruptured logistical network, shutdown of electronic & electrical product factories, and reduced EV production. Within the grade system, the oxygen-free copper market can be bifurcated into oxygen-free electronic and oxygen-free categories. The latter bifurcation generated higher revenue in the market in the past, not only in terms of value but also in terms of volume. The category will continue to exhibit this trend in the coming years as well. T

How Will Rapid Industrialization Drive Hydraulic Equipment Demand?

Image
The Government of India completed the construction of 2,734 projects under the Smart City Mission till 2021. The government is currently working on the construction of 100 smart cities, 6 new ports and 14 coastal economic zones (CEZs). Likewise, Infrastructure Australia (IA) approved the construction of 44 new infrastructure projects in February 2021. The rising construction activities, on account of the booming population and mounting investments being made in the construction sector, will propel the need for hydraulic equipment in the coming years. Additionally, the rapid industrialization in developing countries will drive the hydraulic equipment market growth during 2021–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market generated a revenue of $37 billion in 2020. For instance, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) aims to offer institutional support to special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial and technology parks in Brazil. The UNIDO will help Brazil

Sales of Hexamine Set to Shoot Up in Coming Years

Image
The mushrooming usage of hexamine in several industries such as rubber, pharmaceutical, explosives, and fuels is a major factor responsible for its soaring sales across the world. Moreover, the booming population in several countries is pushing up the demand for medical and pharmaceutical products. This is due to the fact that the surging population is causing poverty, which is, in turn, propelling the incidence of various diseases such as neurological disorders and urinary tract infections. Apart from the aforementioned factors, the rising requirement for hexamine in the plastic industry is also contributing toward the surging sales of the material throughout the world. It is used in plastic synthesis and heavily required in the packaging and construction industries, on account of these industries being prominent end users of plastics. With the surging population level, the number of construction and infrastructural development projects is increasing rapidly in many countries around t
