Calcium Sulfonate Market Outlook:
Calcium Sulfonate Market size was valued at USD 1.59 billion in 2024 and is likely to cross USD 2.64 billion by 2034, expanding at more than 5.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2034. In the year 2025, the industry size of calcium sulfonate is estimated at USD 1.66 billion.
The reason behind the growth is impelled by the growing demand for lubricant oils in the engine. To keep moving parts lubricated and to act as a barrier against water and debris, calcium sulfonates are employed in engine oil as semisolid lubricants. For instance, in 2020, the global demand for lubricants reached over 35 million metric tonnes.
The growing industrial activities across the world are believed to fuel the calcium sulfonate market growth. These fluids are essential for the application of industries, owing to their reduced friction between motor elements. In the case of industrial components, they are also used to prevent corrosion, oxidation, and thermal stability. Moreover, on the surface of a metal, rust inhibitors are surfactants that reduce acids. Excluding the United States, worldwide industrial production increased by over 0.1% in 2023.
