Global Friction Modifiers Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Friction Modifiers market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1240 million in 2025 to US$ 1593 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Friction modifier is a type of chemical additive used to alter the frictional properties of a surface. These additives are commonly used in various applications, including lubricants, automotive fluids, and manufacturing processes, to reduce friction and wear between contacting surfaces. By modifying friction, these additives can improve the efficiency, performance, and longevity of mechanical systems.
The market is driven by:
Growing global demand for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles
Increasing industrial automation and need for long-lubricant-life machinery
Stricter regulations on engine emissions (e.g., Euro 7, CAFE standards)
Development of advanced synthetic lubricants requiring tailored additive packages
Asia-Pacific (largest, ~40%): Automotive production hub, rising energy demand, growing industrial base (China, India, Japan)
North America (~25%): Mature market; driven by fuel economy regulations and industrial machinery
Europe (~20%): Stringent emission standards; early adopter of synthetic lubricants
Latin America, MEA:Growing demand in mining, marine, and off-road sectors
