The global pour point depressants market was valued at USD 1,635.7 million in 2018, and is likely to generate a demand of USD 2,144.9 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.9% over the next seven years. Significant growth in the automotive industry across the globe along with the increasing use of pour point depressants across various industries are set to accelerate market demand over the forecast period. Moreover, growing technological advancements in the pour point depressants market is further expected to propel the market growth. However, growing transition towards alternative fuels to address environmental concerns as well as high costs of pour point depressants is likely to hamper the market growth.
The pour point of a liquid is the temperature below which the liquid loses its flow characteristics. Pour point depressants are polymers that are manufactured to control wax formation in lubricants. These depressants reduce the pour point and improve the low temperature flow performance of lubricants. Wax crystals, which may form at lower temperatures, are likely to interfere with the lubrication of mechanical equipment. Thus, pour point depressants are added to allow mineral oils to function efficiently at low temperatures, while maintaining the viscosity at higher temperatures. The years used for the assessment are as follows;
