The U.S. industrial lubricants market size is expected to reach USD 11,131.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.7% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing initiatives by the U.S. government to promote the manufacturing sector along with the rising number of trade activities across the region have been major factors driving the market growth.
Lubricating oils have diverse applications in the chemical manufacturing sector followed by the textile industry in the U.S. Heat exchangers have a very broad range of industrial applications in the region. These are being utilized increasingly within production plants as well as factories to keep water, gas, machinery, and chemicals other substances within a safe operating temperature.
With the rise in the construction industry in the U.S., metal joining fluids are being increasingly used in the region across diverse commercial applications. Metal joining consists of specialized processes such as honeycomb brazing and vacuum, complex operations that require a unison between expertise and technology. These factors shall expand the scope of lubricant usage in production processes across the U.S.
Industrial engine oils are designed to offset the rising fuel and operating costs. They exhibit a lesser coefficient of friction, which helps in saving fuel, while at the same time, keeps the engine clean for optimal efficiency of combustion. Specifically, the oils help in keeping the ports, piston, crankcase, and filters clean for a long duration. Industrial engine oils are widely used to prevent wear & tear, corrosion, and reduce friction in engines.
