Market Segmentation Analysis

1. By Chemical Class

OCP-based (Olefin Copolymer)

OCP-based viscosity modifiers represent the largest segment due to their cost efficiency, good shear stability, and wide applicability in passenger and commercial vehicle lubricants. They are extensively used in both mineral and semi-synthetic oils, particularly in multigrade engine oils.

PMA-based (Polymethacrylate)

PMA-based modifiers are preferred for premium and synthetic lubricant formulations owing to their excellent low-temperature performance and superior viscosity index improvement. These are widely adopted in high-performance PCMOs and specialty industrial lubricants.

Styrenics-based

Styrenics-based viscosity modifiers offer strong shear stability and thermal resistance, making them suitable for heavy-duty and high-stress operating conditions. Their adoption is increasing in HDMOs and industrial gear oils.

2. By Viscosity Grade

Multigrade Oils

Multigrade oils dominate the market, driven by global automotive trends favoring fuel-efficient and all-season lubricants. Viscosity modifiers are essential for enabling wide viscosity spreads such as 0W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-40 grades.

Monograde Oils

Monograde oils represent a smaller but stable segment, primarily used in older engines, specific industrial equipment, and regions with less stringent performance requirements.

3. By Application

PCMOs (Passenger Car Motor Oils)

PCMOs account for the largest application share, supported by rising global vehicle ownership, frequent oil change cycles, and increasing demand for low-viscosity, fuel-efficient engine oils.

HDMOs (Heavy-Duty Motor Oils)

HDMOs form a significant growth segment due to expanding commercial transportation, construction activities, and mining operations. High shear stability viscosity modifiers are critical in this segment.

Hydraulic Fluids

Viscosity modifiers are increasingly used in hydraulic fluids to ensure stable performance across varying operating temperatures in industrial and mobile equipment.

Gear Oils

Gear oils require viscosity modifiers with strong thermal and oxidative stability to withstand high loads and friction, particularly in automotive and industrial gear systems.

Others

Includes transmission fluids, marine lubricants, agricultural oils, and specialty industrial applications.

Key Players Analysis

The Lubricant Viscosity Modifier market is highly consolidated, with a small number of multinational additive manufacturers accounting for a significant share of global production. These companies compete on formulation expertise, proprietary polymer technologies, customer integration, and global supply capabilities.

Key market participants include:

• Chevron Oronite
• Evonik
• Infineum
• Lubrizol
• NewMarket
• AMTECOL
• Croda International
• LANXESS
• MidContinental Chemical
• Nanjing Runyou Chemical Industry Additive
• Sanyo Chemical Industries
• Shenyang Great Wall Lubricating Oil Manufacturing
• Jinzhou Kangtai Lubricant Additives

Global leaders focus heavily on R&D-driven product differentiation, OEM approvals, and long-term supply agreements with lubricant blenders, while regional players compete on cost, customization, and domestic market access.
