Automotive Lubricants Market - Growth Drivers and Opportunities:
Population growth and rising income levels offer many opportunities for market expansion. In addition, the growth of the global automotive industry and the growing demand for high quality lubricants is expected to increase overall growth. Furthermore, it is expected that the increased consumption of synthetic lubricants, due to their superior characteristic properties, such as low volatile compound emissions and a relatively thicker layer compared to conventional mineral oil lubricants, complements the global market. Automotive lubricants are expected to record the strongest growth in passenger cars, driven by increases in per capita disposable income and growing consumer preference for new low-emission, fuel-efficient models.
Increased sales of electric vehicles are expected to reduce the consumption of automotive lubricants. Battery electric vehicles eliminate the need for engine oil due to the absence of the engine. In addition, electric vehicles have fewer reciprocal parts and it is expected that the increasing adoption of electric vehicles will slow down the market for these lubricants. In addition, rapid urbanization and significant investments in R&D for the production of new synthetic lubricants are expected to provide growth opportunities in the future.
