Europe Lubricants Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Lubricants Market according to our research experts:

Largest Segment By End User : Automotive

  • In 2020, the European lubricant market was dominated by the automotive industry, which accounted for around 49% of the total lubricant consumption in the region. In 2015-2019, lubricant consumption in the automotive industry increased by around 3.5%.
  • 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 15.7%, followed by heavy equipment (11.45%) during 2019-2020.
  • Power generation is likely to be the fastest-growing end-user industry in the market studied, with a CAGR of 2.54% over the period 2021-2026, followed by automotive (2.49%). In Europe, the expanding power generation capacity, especially renewables capacity, is likely to drive the consumption of lubricants in the power generation industry.
