Friction Modifier Additives Market

Factors influencing the global Friction Modifier Additives Market growth

An increase in investment of individuals towards maintenance of their vehicles is expected to drive the Friction Modifier Additives Market during the forecasted period. Manufacturers are expanding their manufacturing capacities in emerging regions like Asia Pacific and this is expected to have a positive effect on the growth of the Friction Modifier Additives Market.

Cheaper substitutes of friction modifier additives, such as dispersant additives, detergent additives, extreme pressure, oxidation and corrosion inhibitor anti-wear agents and oiliness agents that are easily available for different lubricant applications are expected to restrain the growth of the Friction Modifier Additives Market. Also, the decline in oil prices since the second half of 2014 is anticipated to have a negative impact on prices of base oil and friction modifier additives.

Major players involved in the Friction Modifier Additives Market lay emphasis on acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations and expansions in order to enhance their operational efficiency. Also, strategic collaboration and joint venture is expected to improve their sales and distribution network. Industry players, over the recent past, have been channelising efforts towards innovative product development.
