Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Passenger Vehicles</span>
- Among all vehicle types, passenger vehicles accounted for about 76% of the total on-road vehicles in 2020, thus, generating the highest demand for lubricants in the North American market. In North America, automotive lubricant consumption stands the highest in the United States, followed by Canada and Mexico.
- In the United States and Canada, volatile sales and production trends during 2015-2020 and increased adoption of synthetic oils, with a drastic decline during 2020 due to the pandemic, have led to a slump in lubricant consumption. Mexico recorded growth during 2015-2019 due to its dependency on conventional lubricants.
- The expected recovery in sales and production in Mexico (the largest exporter to the North American market) and Canada (another major exporter), along with the United States, from the second half of 2021, is likely to increase lubricant consumption in the region.
