Largest Segment By Product Type : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Engine Oils</span>
- Lubricant consumption in the European commercial vehicles sector witnessed a significant increase due to the growing commercial vehicle population during 2015-2018. However, in 2019, a decline in the annual vehicle mileage and commercial vehicle production caused a 1.92% drop in lubricant consumption over 2018.
- Post the COVID-19 outbreak, freight transportation in Europe was negatively affected due to the social restrictions imposed as a response to the pandemic during the first half of 2020. As a result, lubricant consumption in commercial vehicles in the region decreased by 11.82%, compared to 2019.
- The recovering commercial vehicle sales in Europe are likely to boost lubricant consumption during the forecast period. The expected growth in the penetration of electric vehicles is anticipated to have a slight impact on engine oil consumption during 2021-2026.
