Robotics Lubricants Market Analysis
Industrial robots undertake diverse operations, from material handling, assembly, and welding to finishing and palletizing applications. Robotic components are subjected to extensive movement, high heat, high speed, and friction, thus requiring periodic inspection and servicing. The automotive industry requires optimized robotics lubricants that are tolerant to extreme temperatures, as they help minimize downtime and achieve long service intervals. Thus, the increasing demand for robots in the automotive industry is driving the robotics lubricants market. Moreover, the demand for industrial robots is on the rise in automotive and electronics original equipment manufacturers' facilities. The increase in the use of robots in end-use industries is attributed to the reduction in the average selling price of robots. Some automotive companies invest more than 60% of their lubricant budget on robots. Thus, the penetration of robots in end-use industries can potentially create lucrative opportunities for the robotics lubricants market during the forecast period.

Robotics Lubricants Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Preference for Robot Greases Fuels Market Growth
Greases, hydraulic oils, and gear oils are used across several end-use industries, including automotive, electrical and electronics, food and beverages, logistics, and metal and machinery fabrication. Robotic grease contains base oil such as mineral oil or synthetic oil, a thickener, and additives, which impart distinct product qualities. The main capabilities exhibited by greases include sealing ability, low leakage tendency, protection against corrosion, and heavy load handling. They have a superior ability to prevent the wearing of precision reducers of robots compared to other lubricants. Several commercially available robot greases are food-grade products and comply with certain international standards for specific industries such as food and beverages, and medical and healthcare. Greases may degrade due to friction and exposure to extreme temperatures, and they can operate until their viscosity falls below the levels required to lubricate the internal mechanical components effectively. Robot greasing is integral to maintaining the overall efficiency of robots and robotic components. The recommended frequency for robot greasing varies by brand and model. For instance, FANUC Corporation, a robot manufacturer, recommends greasing every three years or after 11,000 hours of operation. However, this recommendation is only a guideline based on ideal operating conditions, considering moderate production rates in specified climatic conditions.
Penetration of Robotics in the Manufacturing Sector to Generate Growth Opportunities
Robots are capable of performing repetitive and difficult tasks, ensuring high speed and operational efficiency. They are extensively used in the manufacturing sector to boost productivity, economic growth, and precision levels, lower the risk of contamination, and improve the safety of products. In industrial applications, robotics helps decrease labor costs and ensure elevated operational efficiencies. According to a report released by the International Federation of Robotics in 2024, the operational stock of industrial robots was computed at 4,282 thousand units in 2023, i.e., a rise of 10% compared to 2022. In 2023, Asia, Europe, and the Americas accounted for nearly 70%, 17%, and 10% of the world's total robot deployments, respectively. The demand for industrial robots is on the rise in industries such as automotive and electronics original equipment manufacturers. The increase in the use of robots in end-use industries is attributed to the reduction in the average selling price of robots. According to Castrol Ltd's research, more than 4 million industrial robots are expected to be operational worldwide by 2025. A report published by Oxford Economics in 2019 revealed that the global stock of robots is expected to reach more than 20 million by 2030, and China will likely account for 14 million of these robots. Growth in the robots market is expected to propel the demand for high-quality aftercare products. Some automotive companies invest more than 60% of their lubricant budget on robots. Thus, the increasing penetration of robots in end-use industries can potentially create lucrative opportunities for the robotics lubricants market during the forecast period.
