中国石化新闻网讯 据《美洲润滑油周报》12月18日消息，咨询公司克莱恩公司的一项研究显示，2023年前美国工业润滑油市场需求将以年均0.3%的速度下降，但一些工业领域使用的合成润滑油和产品的需求正在上升。

    克莱恩公司能源实践业务的行业经理乔治·莫维在12月11日的一场网络研讨会上表示：“尽管如此，我们确实看到合成润滑油在工业领域的市场份额将从2018年的约22%上升到2023年的23%。”

    据克莱恩公司估计，2018年美国工业润滑油（不包括工艺用油）需求为240万吨。

    橡胶和塑料制品行业是目前最主要的工业润滑油应用领域，占2019年工业润滑油需求的20%左右，其次是电气设备和能源传输领域，排名第三的是化工领域。

    Opportunities Remain in Flat U.S. Industrial Market

    U.S. demand volume for industrial oils and fluids is forecast to decrease by a compound annual rate of 0.3 percent out to 2023, but demand is rising for synthetic lubes and products used in select industry sectors, according to a Kline & Co. study.

    “Despite that, we do see penetration of synthetics in the industrial sector growing from about 22 percent in 2018 to 23 percent by 2023,” George Morvey, industry manager for Kline’s energy practice, said during a webinar on Dec. 11.

    Not including process oils, Kline estimated U.S. industrial oils and fluid demand at 2.4 million metric tons in 2018.

    Rubber and plastic products together was by far the leading sector, accounting for about 20 percent of industrial oils and fluids demand in 2019. It was followed by the electrical equipment and energy transmission sector, and by the chemicals sector.
