Kenya Lubricants Market Trends

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

Power Generation is Expected to Witness Fast Growth

  • Eastern African countries such as Kenya are expanding rapidly in industries, urbanization, and power generation capabilities.
  • Power generation is among the fastest-growing end-user industries for the consumption of lubricants. According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) annual Economic Survey, the total installed power generation capacity in 2022 is about 2,990 MW.
  • According to Kenya Energy Sector Roadmap 2040, the country intends to increase Kenya's installed capacity to 100 GW by 2040. To achieve this goal, the country will have to install an average of 5 GW annually from 2022 to 2040.
  • The Kenyan government is also interested in the development of renewable sources of energy to produce electricity. Private investments in these projects are the primary reasons for boosting the demand for lubricants from the power production sector.
  • By 2022, Kenya's nuclear power development program will have a total installed power generating capacity of 5,221MW, establishing a legislative and regulatory framework and site selection and capacity building, thus creating promising opportunities for the market studied.
  • The Government of Kenya (GoK) has a long-term vision of transforming Kenya into an industrialized middle-income country with a high standard of living for all Kenyans by 2030.
  • Such factors will likely lead to a rise in the demand for lubricants in the country's power generation industry.
