Biodegradation is a process that transforms materials that enter the environment or breaks them down. Microorganisms (or their enzymes), such as bacteria, yeast, protozoans, and fungi, present in the environment perform the biodegradation process. Carbon dioxide and water are released into the environment during the process. Using biodegradable sources, such as vegetable oil, the production of biodegradable engine oil is carried out. Biodegradable engine oil manufacturers focus on bioaccumulation and eco-toxicity to reduce the adverse environmental impacts of engine oil.
Increase in use of high-performance lubricants, demand from the growing wind energy sector, and expansion of the global cold chain market are the major factors that drive the market. In addition, in the context of government regulations driving such products, the market is fueled by the increasing supply of high-performance, cost-competitive green base oils. The production of bio-lubricants remains heavily dependent on the provision of vegetable and animal oils, which are by-products of other industrial processes. The initial cost of production, which may hamper its growth over the forecast period, is also increased by complex processing technologies. However, increase in prominence for bio-lubricants and industrial growth in the Middle East & Africa region are expected to act as possibilities over the forecast period.
The market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. By type, it is classified into vegetable oils, polyalkylene glycols, synthetic esters, and others. Based on application, it is sub-divided into agriculture, transportation, construction, and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global biodegradable engine oil market
- The world is battling the contagious COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread across the globe.
- Some of the major economies suffering from the COVID-19 crises include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, and Norway.
- The outbreak has forced many industries to shut down due to lack of raw material availability and disruptions in the supply chain. The global lockdown has suspended the activities of construction and many other industries, which declined the demand for biodegradable engine oil.
- The demand-supply gap, disruptions in raw material procurement, price volatility, and many other factors are expected to hamper the growth of the chemical industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Biodegradable engine oil is primarily used in manufacturing, transportation, construction, consumer goods, and others. As a reaction to the national lockdown, these sectors were experiencing sudden decline in growth rates.
- Less usage of machinery results in reduced demand for industrial lubricants from various end-use sectors. Subsequent downfall in the construction industry across various nations further hinders the market. growth
