Massive, Underserved Market

Unplanned downtime costs Fortune Global 500 companies roughly $1.4 trillion annually — representing 11% of total revenues. This has surged 62% from $864 billion in 2019.

Equipment failure causes 80% of unplanned downtime. In oil & gas, hourly costs approach $500,000. Water contamination is the leading root cause.

With tightening ESG regulations and ~50% of lubricants ending up as environmental contaminants, the market urgently needs Vandalai's zero-waste approach.
