The viscosity index improver market is evolving rapidly as engine technologies and lubricant performance demands grow more sophisticated. Senior decision-makers require clarity on how additive innovation, trade shifts, and supply chain complexity interact to shape strategic opportunities and risks in this sector.

Market Snapshot: Viscosity Index Improver Market Growth and Trends

The viscosity index improver market grew from USD 163.07 million in 2025 to USD 176.55 million in 2026. Projected to continue at a steady CAGR of 6.76%, the sector is expected to reach USD 257.94 million by 2032. This growth highlights a rising demand for advanced lubricant solutions driven by technical, regulatory, and supply chain factors. OEM performance requirements, emissions regulations, and evolving vehicle platforms are key forces sustaining upward momentum within all major regions and end-use segments.

Scope & Segmentation of the Viscosity Index Improver Market

This report delivers in-depth analyses structured by industry-leading segmentation that reflects both product functionality and end-user priorities:

  • Applications: Engine Oil (with Passenger and Commercial Vehicle distinctions), Gear Oil, Hydraulic Fluid, Industrial Grease
  • Polymer Types: Olefin Copolymer, Polymethacrylate, Styrene Diene Copolymer (with Hydrogenated/Non-Hydrogenated variants)
  • End-Use Industries: Automotive (Passenger and Commercial Vehicles), Industrial (Manufacturing, Power Generation)
  • Regions: Americas; Europe, Middle East & Africa; Asia-Pacific

The analysis explores how viscosity index improvers support lubricant performance by improving viscosity-temperature behavior, enabling broader operating temperature windows, and meeting stricter OEM and sustainability criteria. Segmenting by technology and industry helps decision-makers coordinate R&D and procurement strategies with specific operational requirements and regulatory regimes. 

Key Takeaways: Strategic Insights for Senior Stakeholders

  • Advanced polymer chemistry is reshaping additive requirements, allowing formulators to enhance wear protection and deposit control across new powertrain designs and extended drain intervals.
  • Vehicle electrification and industrial automation are shifting product demands, with viscosity index improvers required to meet diverse lubrication and thermal management needs beyond conventional engine oils.
  • Procurement strategies now prioritize supplier traceability, sourcing resilience, and environmental credentials, reflecting increased buyer sophistication and regulatory scrutiny.
  • Collaborative partnerships between formulators and additive manufacturers are essential for rapid qualification, performance optimization, and navigating ingredient interchangeability as supply chains fluctuate.
  • Technical support, lifecycle documentation, and sustainability transparency are critical differentiators, allowing suppliers to secure premium customer channels as specification requirements tighten.

Tariff Impact: Navigating Trade Barriers and Sourcing Volatility

Tariff measures introduced in the United States in 2025 have intensified supply chain complexity for viscosity index improvers and raw materials. Buyers are adopting diversified supplier networks and nearshoring to mitigate tariff exposure, bond management challenges, and cross-border logistics risks. The result is an agile, qualification-driven procurement environment that rewards companies with resilient supply chains, robust quality assurance, and the flexibility to adapt sourcing strategies quickly. This volatility pressures stakeholders to balance performance deliverables with cost and compliance factors.

Methodology & Data Sources

Findings integrate structured interviews with automotive and industrial experts, technical literature reviews, and detailed analyses of supply chain flows and tariff impacts. Comparative lab data and performance feedback ensure operational relevance, while scenario analyses and peer reviews validate insight rigor and practical application.

Why This Report Matters: Actionable Intelligence for Decision-Makers

  • Enables targeted R&D investment and procurement alignment based on detailed application and regional segmentation.
  • Helps assess supplier capabilities in technical support, sustainability, and trade resilience, optimizing selection criteria.
  • Supports the development of commercial strategies—such as joint development or inventory management—that reduce adoption risks in volatile environments.

Conclusion: Integrated Strategies for Market Leadership

Success for suppliers and end-users relies on uniting innovation in polymer chemistry, robust sourcing strategies, and collaborative customer engagement. By adapting to shifting regulatory and operational contexts, organizations can drive enduring value and market differentiation within the viscosity index improver landscape.

About the Viscosity Index Improver Market

The viscosity index improver market is an intrinsic part of the lubricants and greases industry. Viscosity index improvers are polymer-based additives that help lubricating oils maintain their viscosity levels across a wide range of temperatures. This functionality is particularly essential for the effective operation of machinery and automotive engines, which often operate under varying thermal conditions. Consequently, these improvers are used to enhance the performance of engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and other industrial lubricants. Viscosity index improvers are designed to provide better thickening efficiency at high temperatures and minimize shear loss, resulting in an optimal balance of oil thickness and flow properties. This allows a lubricant to function effectively under stress and maintain its protective qualities, leading to extended machinery life and improved reliability. The demand for these additives is driven by advancements in technology and industry requirements for high-performance lubrication systems that operate across contrasting temperature ranges. Companies active in the viscosity index improver market cater to a diverse array of industries, including automotive, commercial vehicles, and industrial machinery. Key players in this sector include The Lubrizol Corporation, Infineum International Limited, Chevron Oronite Company LLC, Evonik Industries AG, and Afton Chemical Corporation. These companies not only offer viscosity index improvers but also provide a comprehensive portfolio of other lubricant additives and specialty chemicals to meet the evolving needs of the market.
