Market Definition

The global Automotive Lubricants Market size valued to USD 77.91 billion in 2019, is predicted to garner USD 120.06 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.9% from 2020-2030.

The automotive lubricants market observed a volumetric sale of 27,050 kilotons in 2019; it shall hike up to 38,607 kilotons by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 3.2% from 2019-2030.

Automotive lubricants are substrates introduced to reduce friction between two surfaces in mutual contact, hence ensuring smooth functioning and high performance of vehicles. Theses lubricants enhance the engine efficiency and prolongs the lifespan of vehicles by reducing wear and tear of the automotive parts. Automotive lubricants circulate the access heat generated during engine operations by absorbing and transmitting it to the cooler, hence controlling the vehicle temperature.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The automotive lubricants market is gaining momentum over the period owing to the fact that these lubricants amplify the performance of vehicles as well as intensifies its average age by reducing friction rates, lowering fuel consumptions and consequently boosting-up the efficiency of automotive engines.

Besides, market dynamics like increased inclination towards efficient transport, growing demand for commercial utility vehicles and passenger cars as well as the trend of possessing personal automotive transports especially in premium vehicles segment, imposes the need to cater the demand-supply gap for automotive lubricants, hence supplementing the growth of the global market, throughout the forecast period.

However, stringent environmental emission standards, and increased inclination towards electronic vehicle and higher risks of environmental hazard linked with the use of mineral oil lubricants are expected to impede the automotive lubricants market growth during the forecast period.

Moreover, inclination towards highly-efficient-low-emission production processes and innovative product launches by market players tend to increase the competitive nature of the market; these factors are paving the way for lucrative opportunities in the global market.
