全球生物潤滑劑市場預計將從 2025 年的 27.3 億美元成長到 2031 年的 53.2 億美元,複合年成長率為 11.76%。
生物潤滑劑是由植物油、動物脂肪和合成酯等可再生生質能原料製成的特殊可生物分解液體,旨在減少摩擦和環境毒性。推動該市場發展的主要因素是嚴格的監管要求,這些要求強制海洋和林業等對生態環境高度敏感的行業使用無毒液體,以及企業為實現碳中和而不斷加大的努力。這些法律體制發揮關鍵的加速作用,促使各行業逐步淘汰傳統的礦物基產品,從而最大限度地減少對水土系統的生態學威脅。

儘管存在這些有利因素,但該行業在與石化燃料替代品的經濟競爭力方面仍面臨重大障礙。為確保熱穩定性和抗氧化性所需的高級加工流程通常會導致更高的成本,從而阻礙其在行業內的廣泛應用。根據潤滑工程師協會 (STLE) 2024 年的報告,由於生產成本高昂,植物來源潤滑劑在全球潤滑油市場中所佔佔有率僅為 1% 左右。
生物潤滑劑配方技術的創新對於彌合傳統性能差距至關重要,例如氧化穩定性和高溫黏度。現代合成酯技術數位化研究方法使得開發出性能可與礦物油基潤滑劑媲美、但研發成本更低的生物分解潤滑劑成為可能。正如福斯公司在2024年3月發布的2023年度報告中所述,人工智慧在配方設計中的應用簡化了永續成分的添加,透過模擬技術可減少高達80%的潛在原料。這些技術進步對於降低生物潤滑劑的平準化成本至關重要,並直接解決了先前阻礙市場推廣的經濟可行性問題。
第二個主要促進因素是汽車和運輸業需求的成長,尤其是在快速轉型為電動車的推動下,電動車需要專用的溫度控管流體。生物基合成酯因其優異的絕緣性能和防火安全等級,在這些領域越來越受歡迎,優於標準碳氫化合物。根據國際能源總署 (IEA) 於 2024 年 4 月發布的《2024 年全球電動車展望》,2023 年全球電動車銷量將達到約 1,400 萬輛,這將顯著擴大這些專用電動車熱管理流體的潛在市場。這一成長的驅動力來自於主要能源供應商向低碳產品組合的轉型。例如,道達爾能源在 2024 年 3 月發布的《永續發展與氣候變遷—2024 年進展報告》中指出,其銷售的能源產品的生命週期碳強度在 2023 年比 2015 年下降了 13%,凸顯了該產業向永續消費的轉變。
全球生物潤滑油市場成長的主要障礙在於生物基潤滑油與其現有礦物油基競爭對手之間存在顯著的價格差異。生物潤滑油需要複雜的化學工藝,例如酯交換反應和添加昂貴的添加劑,才能克服其固有的缺陷,例如熱穩定性和氧化穩定性。這些嚴格的生產要求不可避免地增加了生產成本,導致最終價格遠高於傳統產品。因此,除非受到特定法規的強制要求,否則注重預算的工業負責人不願轉向生物基產品,這使得生物基產品難以成為標準商品,而只能應用於一些小眾領域。
價格挑戰將使生物潤滑油難以在全球龐大的需求中佔據顯著佔有率。潤滑技術協會 (STLE) 估計,到 2024 年,全球潤滑油年消費總量將達到 3,000 萬至 4,000 萬噸。如此巨大的需求主要由經濟實惠的礦物油基產品滿足,這表明生物潤滑油尚未開發的市場規模龐大。只要高價持續存在,生物潤滑油就難以在關鍵應用領域保持競爭力,其在環境敏感地區以外(這些地區受到嚴格監管)的擴張潛力也將受到限制。
在人工智慧和高效能運算對運算能力的需求呈指數級成長的推動下,資料中心採用生物基浸沒式冷卻劑正成為一股重要趨勢。隨著伺服器機架密度的增加,傳統的空氣冷卻方式已無法滿足需求,促使資料中心營運商轉向使用可生物分解的絕緣液體的浸沒式冷卻技術。與礦物油相比,這些生物合成液體具有更優異的導熱性能,同時也能透過減少能源和水的消耗來支持企業的永續性目標。嘉實多於2025年3月發布的《臨界點》報告顯示,76%的資料中心產業專業人士認為,為了維持所需的效能提升,他們需要在未來三年內採用浸沒式冷卻技術,這凸顯了生物潤滑劑在數位基礎設施中日益成長的重要性。
同時,市場正經歷著向不可食用和廢棄物衍生原料的明顯轉變,特別是透過最佳化廢棄食用油和動物脂肪殘渣的利用,從而緩解了人們對食品與燃料競爭的倫理擔憂。與第一代生物潤滑油(由大豆和油菜籽等食品級作物生產)不同,這一趨勢強調循環經濟原則,並利用各種廢棄物流生產基料,從而在整個生命週期內減少碳足跡並提高價格穩定性。大型煉油企業正在推動這項轉變,他們正在重組供應鏈,優先使用這些二次原料而非原生農業原料。正如Neste在2025年2月發布的2024年度報告中所述,該公司可再生原料投入總量中,廢棄物和殘渣原料的平均佔比高達90%,這凸顯了該行業為確保永續生產而向循環原料模式的大規模轉型。
The Global Bio-Lubricant Market is projected to expand from USD 2.73 Billion in 2025 to USD 5.32 Billion by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 11.76%. Bio-lubricants are specialized biodegradable fluids engineered from renewable biomass feedstocks, such as vegetable oils, animal fats, or synthetic esters, designed to lower friction and environmental toxicity. The primary momentum for this market stems from strict regulatory requirements mandating the use of non-toxic fluids in ecologically vulnerable industries like marine and forestry, coupled with increasing corporate pledges toward carbon neutrality. These legal frameworks act as a critical accelerator, obliging sectors to shift away from traditional mineral-based products to minimize ecological threats to water and soil systems.

Despite these positive drivers, the industry encounters substantial hurdles related to economic competitiveness against fossil-fuel substitutes. The intensive processing needed to guarantee thermal stability and resistance to oxidation frequently leads to higher costs, which discourages broad industrial acceptance. According to the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers in 2024, these prohibitive production expenses limited plant-based biolubricants to roughly 1% of the overall global lubricant market.
Market Driver
Innovation in bio-lubricant formulas is essential for rectifying historical performance gaps related to oxidative stability and viscosity at high temperatures. Contemporary synthetic ester technologies and digitalized research processes now facilitate the creation of biodegradable fluids that rival the operational performance of mineral-based predecessors while cutting development costs. As noted in the 'Annual Report 2023' by Fuchs SE in March 2024, the application of artificial intelligence in formulation allowed for the elimination of up to 80% of potential ingredients through simulation, thereby simplifying the incorporation of sustainable inputs. These technical advancements are crucial for reducing the levelized cost of bio-lubricants, directly tackling the economic viability issues that have previously impeded wider market adoption.
The second primary catalyst is the rising demand from the automotive and transportation industries, specifically fuelled by the swift shift to electric mobility which requires specialized fluids for thermal management. Bio-based synthetic esters are increasingly favored in these settings because of their excellent dielectric characteristics and fire safety ratings compared to standard hydrocarbons. According to the International Energy Agency's 'Global EV Outlook 2024' released in April 2024, global electric vehicle sales rose to nearly 14 million units in 2023, greatly enlarging the potential market for these dedicated E-fluids. This growth is bolstered by major energy providers moving toward lower-carbon portfolios; for instance, TotalEnergies reported in their 'Sustainability & Climate - 2024 Progress Report' in March 2024 that the lifecycle carbon intensity of energy products sold was 13% lower in 2023 than in 2015, highlighting the sector's pivot toward sustainable consumption.
Market Challenge
The principal barrier obstructing the growth of the Global Bio-Lubricant Market is the substantial price difference between bio-based fluids and entrenched mineral oil rivals. Bio-lubricants necessitate intricate chemical processing, such as transesterification and the addition of costly additive packages, to resolve inherent weaknesses in thermal and oxidative stability. These demanding manufacturing requirements inevitably escalate production expenses, leading to a final price that is significantly higher than conventional alternatives. As a result, budget-conscious industrial purchasers are hesitant to transition to bio-based options unless forced by specific mandates, effectively confining these products to niche uses rather than enabling them to become standard commodities.
This pricing drawback makes it arduous for bio-lubricants to secure a significant portion of the massive global demand. According to the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers in 2024, total annual global lubricant consumption was estimated between 30 and 40 million tons. This vast volume is predominantly fulfilled by economical mineral formulations, demonstrating the magnitude of the market that bio-lubricants fail to penetrate. As long as these high prices remain, bio-lubricants will face difficulties in competing for the majority of this usage, restricting their expansion possibilities beyond strictly regulated, environmentally sensitive zones.
Market Trends
The uptake of bio-based immersion cooling fluids within data centers is developing into a pivotal trend, propelled by the surging computational power needed for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. As server rack densities rise, conventional air-cooling methods are proving inadequate, causing facility operators to switch to liquid immersion technologies using biodegradable, dielectric fluids. These bio-synthetic liquids provide superior thermal conductivity relative to mineral oils while supporting corporate sustainability objectives by lowering energy and water usage. According to the 'The Dipping Point' report by Castrol in March 2025, 76% of data center industry specialists believe the sector must implement immersion cooling within the next three years to sustain necessary performance gains, highlighting the growing significance of bio-lubricants in digital infrastructure.
Concurrently, the market is undergoing a definitive move toward non-edible and waste-derived feedstocks, specifically optimizing the use of waste cooking oil and animal fat residues to alleviate ethical concerns regarding food versus fuel. Unlike first-generation bio-lubricants made from food-grade crops such as soybean or rapeseed, this movement emphasizes circular economy tenets where base stocks are created from diverse waste streams, providing lower lifecycle carbon footprints and enhanced price stability. This shift is being industrialized by leading refiners who are restructuring supply chains to favor these secondary raw materials over virgin agricultural resources. As stated in the 'Annual Report 2024' by Neste in February 2025, the proportion of waste and residue feedstocks averaged 90% of the company's total renewable material inputs, emphasizing the major industrial shift toward circular feedstock models to guarantee sustainable production volumes.
