Lubricant Additives: United States
ABOUT THIS REPORT
Scope & Method
This report forecasts US lubricant additive demand in pounds and US dollars at the
manufacturers’ level to 2017. Total demand in pounds is segmented in terms of:
•
•
•
•
deposit control additives
viscosity modifiers (VMs)
antiwear and extreme pressure (EP) additives
other lubricant additives such as friction modifiers, antioxidants,
emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors.
Total demand in pounds and dollars is segmented by market as follows:
•
•
automotive
industrial.
To illustrate historical trends, total demand in pounds is provided in an annual series
from 2002 to 2012; total demand in dollars and the various segments are reported at
five-year intervals for 2007 and 2012. Forecasts emanate from the identification and
analysis of pertinent statistical relationships and other historical trends/events as well as
their expected progression/impact over the forecast period. Changes in quantities
between reported years of a given total or segment are typically provided in terms of
five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of brevity, forecasts are
generally stated in smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the forecast year, such as
“demand is projected to rise 3.2% annually through 2017.” The result of any particular
year over that period, however, may exhibit volatility and depart from a smoothed, longterm trend, as historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
