The Global Automotive Lubricants Market valuation is expected to reach USD 112.20 Billion by 2027. The oil markets now look adequately supplied through 2020, coupled with gains from Brazil, Canada, and Norway. A considerable increase in oil demand is expected to aid strong world economic growth over the next five years. According to the International Monetary Fund, over the next five years, the global economy is expected to grow at a rate of 3.9%. Strong economies will create more demand for oil, and it is projected that the demand will grow at an average annual rate of more than 1.2 mb/d over the forecasted period. Petrochemicals are the fastest growing sectors for global oil demand, and this is especially the case in the United States and China. The shale revolution in the United States has opened a major source of cheap domestic feedstock. One of the major advantages of global economic growth is that it is bringing more people into the middle class in developing countries. With people having higher incomes, there has been a sharp increase in the demand for automobiles that have added stimulus to the automotive lubricants market.
The market growth is driven by the growing adoption of lightweight and high-performance vehicles globally. An automotive lubricant reduces friction and the heat generated thereof while aiding metal components to impart better and efficient functioning of the overall mechanism. This enhances the life-cycle and performance of vehicles. Increasing demand for vehicles is positively impacting the automotive lubricant industry growth. Automotive production increased from 84.2 million in 2012 to 95.7 million in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 13.6%. Growing consumer focus on increasing the efficiency of vehicles has prompted automotive lubricants industry players to make constant improvements in the lubricant quality. A rise in investment directed towards R&D for developing better quality synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants will augment industry revenue share over the forecast period.
