- Fastest Growing Region Market - Asia-Pacific : Due to rising urbanization, increased electricity use, and rising vehicle ownership in China and India, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region.
Lubricants Market Trends
Largest Segment By End User : Automotive
- In 2020, the automotive industry dominated the global lubricants market, accounting for around half of the total lubricant consumption. During 2015-2019, lubricant consumption in the automotive industry increased by 11% due to growth in vehicle sales and usage.
- In 2020, COVID-19-related restrictions led to declined maintenance requirements from several industries. The major impact was observed in the automotive industry, which recorded a dip of 10.1% during the year, followed by heavy equipment (7.66%).
- Power generation is likely to be the fastest-growing end-user industry of the global lubricants market during 2021-2026, with a CAGR of 4.8%, followed by automotive (3.8%). The capacity additions in the renewable energy sector worldwide will likely drive lubricant consumption in the power generation industry.
Largest Region : Asia-Pacific
- In 2020, Asia-Pacific was the leading consumer of lubricants in the world, accounting for around 46% of the global lubricant consumption. During 2015-2019, lubricant consumption in the Asia-Pacific region increased by around 20%, driven by China, India, and Indonesia.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak restrained the operations of several industries, thereby restraining lubricant consumption across the globe. North America was the most affected, with a 13.4% drop in its lubricant consumption, followed by Europe, with an 11.29% drop, during 2019-20.
- Asia-Pacific is likely to be the fastest-growing lubricants market in Africa during 2021-26, with a CAGR of around 4.3%. The recovering automotive sales and usage combined with growing industrial activities in the region are likely to drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific lubricants market in the near future.
