According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Lubricant Packaging Market size to exceed USD 7.5 million by 2030.
 

Lubricants are essential for the power & energy production industry as heavy equipment and machinery use them on a large scale. The main sectors in the power generation industry are hydro, gas, nuclear, coal (thermal), and other renewable sources such as tidal, wind energy, etc. Wind & solar generation accounts for nearly two-thirds of the growth in renewable generation. In the energy sector, lubricants are used in compressors, electrostatic rotors, turbines, engines, and several other mechanical components for uninterrupted and smooth functioning.
 

Growing power generation projects due to huge investments from private firms as well as governments will be a major factor propelling the demand for lubricants over the forecast period, positively influencing lubricant packaging market growth over the next few years. Investing in energy projects is a crucial for governments to boost their economic health. For instance, multi-national giants, such as Spain’s Repsol and Malaysia’s Petronas, have entered the India market by setting up production plants in Maharashtra, India. Thus, the power generation sector shall benefit to a significant extent over the next few years, increasing the product demand to a great extent.
 

The companies in the lubricant packaging market adopt various kinds of business models. Some of them focus on sustainable packaging while others adopt aggressive policies for market penetration. The emerging players in the market are constantly working for the enhancement of their product offerings with the introduction of new packaging formats such as stand-up pouches. For instance, BAM Packaging manufactures stand-up pouches for packaging of lubricants along with motor oils. These pouches are reusable, recyclable, and incur low material cost & low packaging waste taxes.
 

Some of the companies are experimenting with different packaging materials for replacing conventional packaging materials, plastics, and metals. Penrite Oil Company introduced enviro boxes for lubricant packaging. These cardboard boxes are 100% recyclable as opposed to traditional plastic drums. They are specially designed to reduce landfill waste, reduce cost, and increase productivity. The companies are hence gradually moving away from rigid packaging to flexible packaging options with their business models to meet their strategic goals.
