Market Overview:
The global automotive lubricants market was projected at USD 65.8 billion in 2018 and is predicted to register a CAGR of 4.6% during the foreseen time from 2020 to 2025. The automotive lubricants are the material use to scale back the friction between moving the surface of the machine, which results in the reduction in heat generation due to the friction.
Automotive lubricants are accustomed reduce friction between two surfaces of the parts of a vehicle and example of the futuristic technologies, which are capable of developing durable surfaces, improving overall order while fulfilling environmental norms. These lubricants also assist to manage the vehicle temperature by absorbing the heat cause by moving parts of the vehicle and transferring it to the cooler.

Drivers and Restraints of Automotive Lubricants Market:
Drivers:
The automotive lubricants market is rising because of growing demand for engine oils, brake fluids, and transmission oils in both consumer and commercial vehicles. Rising sales of motorcycles also witnesses to further strengthen this growth over the foreseen phase. Shift in trend towards green derivatives is additionally expected to drive the market over the foreseen phase. Important factors driving the market studied are raising adoption of high-performance lubricants. On the opposite hand, extended drain intervals and the modest impact of electrical vehicles (EVs) are predicted to hinder the market’s growth. Automotive lubricants accounts for over 55% of the worldwide lubricants market and the demand for high-quality lube is predicted to make significant opportunities over the long-term foreseen phase.
Restraints:
The stringent environmental rules for CO2 emission has source the automakers to carry towards electronic vehicles (EVs), which put a restraint within the growth of the automotive lubricants over the anticipated period.
Market Segmentation:
By Application:
Engine oils are widely used to lubricate combustion engines and are usually composed of 75-90% base oils and over 10-25% additives. They are normally used for various applications, like decline in wear and tear, protection from corrosion, and smooth functioning of engine parts. They are used by creating a skinny film between the moving parts for enhancing the transfer of warmth and cut off tension during the contact of parts. Engine oil holds the most important market share in 2018 due to its properties, which helps the engine to extend its fuel efficiency, performance, and reduce harmful emissions.
By Base Oil:
Notable growth has been seen within the market of bio-based lubes because of the harmful effects of automotive lubricants on the environment and pollution caused by diesel vehicles. Moreover, to satisfy government norms and regulations, many countries are likely to scale back the usage of gasoline and diesel cars within the future. However, leading manufacturers are that specialize in the assembly of eco-friendly automotive lubricants, which are less toxic, and have zero effect on human health and therefore the environment.
By Vehicle Type:
Passenger cars held the most important market share in 2018 because of advantages like better mileage, individual safety, low cost, good resale value, basic and more reliable over various products of the segment.
Automotive Lubricants Market Region wise analysis:
Marked Segmentation based on the region:
a. Middle East
b. Africa
North America regions are likely to possess slow growth within the automotive lubricants industry because of the strict government policies on the CO2 emission and automakers are stimulating towards the assembly of more electric vehicles.
Over the last few years, the European automotive lubricants market has been going through a transition period, which is predicted to vary within the forecast period. In Europe, Western Europe accounts for almost half of the entire demand for automotive lubricants. Country-wise Russia and Germany dominate the global automotive lubricants market in terms of demand, accounting a big share of regional demand followed by the United Kingdom, France, and other European countries. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the leading part of the worldwide market share. Within the region, China is the largest lubricant market and is predicted to stay so within the coming years, regardless of the economy witnessing slow economic process. The government in various developing nations is replacing obsolete vehicles, growing interest for improved and high performance lubricants. India is that the second-largest regional business for these lubricants and the third-largest in the world. The global marketplace for automotive lubricants is predicted to be dominated by the Asia-Pacific area during the foreseen phase.
The initial cost of EVs being high is a big drawback for market in the Latin American area, rising interest for commercial vehicles and automotive lubricants for vehicle maintenance. This is fueling the expansion of automotive lubricants business in the regional market. The Middle East and Africa will create remunerative opportunities in foreseen phase.
