This section covers the major market trends shaping the Automotive Engine Oils Market according to our research experts:
Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Passenger Vehicles</span>
- Engine oils are the most used automotive lubricants among all the product types. During 2015-2019, global automotive engine oil consumption increased at a CAGR of 2.5%. In 2020, engine oils accounted for around 78% of the total automotive lubricant consumption volume globally.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in a huge decline in the usage of the existing global vehicle fleet due to a reduction in business activities. As a result, the passenger vehicles and motorcycles segments witnessed the largest drop in engine oil consumption in 2020 compared to 2019.
- Along with the expected recovery in sales and production of motor vehicles, an increase in the penetration of electric vehicles is expected to impact engine oil consumption slightly. Therefore, due to such factors, engine oil consumption is expected to register a CAGR of 3.72% during 2021-2026.
