石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據潤滑油周報1月23日消息，全球最大的專業潤滑油制造商之一的德國福斯油品集團的初步統計數據顯示，2017年全球潤滑油需求達到3570萬噸，與2016年基本持平。不過福斯油品集團的一位高管警告稱，受電動汽車和其它破壞性技術的影響，未來十年全球潤滑油需求可能減少90萬噸/年甚至更多。 1月9日至11日在德國奧斯特菲爾登召開的第21屆國際摩擦學研討會上，福斯油品集團執行董事會成員兼首席技術官Lutz Lindemann發表主題演講時表示，2017年全球潤滑油需求估計與2016年持平。而且他認為全球經濟過熱的一些輕微跡象不是一個完全健康的跡象。 潤滑油供應商在許多方面面臨著更多的挑戰：電動汽車的普及所帶來的影響，因為電動汽車與內燃發動機汽車的潤滑油需求大不相同；可持續性和數字化影響著客戶對潤滑油的期望和購買決定；以及3D打印將使傳統的制造業一敗涂地。 龐曉華 摘譯自 《潤滑油周報》 原文如下： Lube Demand Could Give Way Global lubricant demand reached 35.7 million metric tons in 2017, neck-and-neck with the year before, indicates an initial tally from Fuchs Petrolub SE. Perhaps 900,000 tons or more of that could evaporate in the coming decade, however, due to electric vehicles and other disruptive technologies, a company executive warned. In a keynote address to the 21st International Colloquium Tribology on Jan. 9, Fuchs executive board member and Chief Technology Officer Lutz Lindemann said lubricants demand was estimated as “stable” for 2017 versus 2016, while adding that he perceives “some slight indications of overheating in the global economy – not a totally healthy sign.”
Lubricant suppliers face additional challenges on a number of fronts: electric cars, which have vastly different lubricant needs than internal combustion engines; sustainability and digitalization, which are influencing customers’ lubricant expectations and purchasing decisions; and 3-D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, which promises to gut traditional manufacturing industries.
