About the Event

The Lubricants and Additives Conference is a dedicated industrial platform bringing together asset owners, maintenance and reliability professionals, OEMs, lubricant manufacturers, additive suppliers, and technical experts to address the critical role of lubrication and tribology in improving equipment performance, reliability, and lifecycle management across industrial operationsy.

Designed to respond to the growing operational demands of manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, mining, and power sectors, the conference serves as a focused knowledge-sharing forum where industry stakeholders can explore best practices, emerging technologies, and real-world case studies. By fostering technical dialogue and cross-sector collaboration, the event supports more efficient lubrication strategies, reduced downtime, optimized maintenance practices, and sustainable industrial operations.

Market Drivers

US$2 BILLION MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Saudi Arabia is the Middle East’s

largest lubricants market, valued at USD 1.5 billion (2023) with demand exceeding 500,000 metric tons, and forecast to grow 4–5% annually to reach USD 2 billion by 2030.

Saudi Arabia
produces

Group I and Group II base oils, supported by Luberef’s 1.3 million tpa capacity, with the Yanbu expansion (2024) increasing Group II output and local blending activity.

Industrial applications in the Kingdom

account for 30% of lubricant demand, driven by growth in cement, steel, mining, power generation, and HVAC sectors.

Approximately 80%

of lubricant additives are imported from Europe, the US, and Asia, driving demand for formulation expertise, performance optimisation, and supply resilience.

OEM-specified lubricants

are typically higher priced, increasing interest in validated alternatives, drain interval optimisation, and performance-based lubricant selection.

Increasing use of

oil analysis, condition monitoring, and predictive maintenance is elevating the role of lubrication and tribology in reducing downtime and extending equipment life.

USD 1.56 billion by 2033

Expected value of KSA’s Predictive Maintenance Market from the current USD 227 million, increasing the importance of lubrication, oil analysis, and condition monitoring in extending equipment life and reducing downtime

USD 837.5 million by 2034

Expected size of KSA’s Industrial Lubricant Market from the current size of USD 663.8 million. Driven by growing demand from manufacturing, mining, power generation, cement, and heavy industries

USD 58.9 billion by 2031

Forecasted growth of KSA’s Industrial Services Market from current value of USD 36.4 billion reflecting increased focus on maintenance optimisation, asset reliability, and operational efficiency.
