Lubrication is considered as the process that involves oil or grease application over different engines or other components to minimize friction between two moving surfaces. This, in turn, results in smooth movement and reduces friction and wear. Over the period of time, lubricants gets contaminated with dust particles, sludge, and other particles and hence need to be removed and replaced periodically to enhance smoother operations of aircrafts. The aviation lubricants market is analyzed and estimated in accordance with the impacts of drivers, restraints, and opportunities. The period studied in this report is from 2019 to 2027.

Biodegradable engine oils, also known as bio-lubricants and bio-lubes, are biodegradable and nontoxic lubricants. Organic lubricants are usually made by using raw materials such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, coconut oil, and animal fats. In terms of non-toxicity, sustainability, carbon neutral, and environmentally safe, bio-lubricants provide many advantages over conventionally used petroleum-based product offerings. Attributed to the high flash point and high stability, the use of bio-lubricants over traditional lubricants is comparatively better. Bio-lubricants are used for a variety of applications across a diverse set of industries, including automotive, marine, construction, and others.

Bioplastic is a sustainable material derived from renewable feedstocks. It has the potential to reduce 30-70% of carbon dioxide emission. It represents approximately 42% reduction of carbon footprints. The production of bioplastic requires 65% less energy than conventional petroleum plastic. The global bioplastics market is evolving, and companies are now focusing more on strengthening and consolidating R&D activities; thereby, increasing production capacity. The adoption of bioplastic has increased tremendously across various applications, owing to the advanced technical properties and functionalities.
