The global automotive lubricants market is expected to reach USD 94.87 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry growth is majorly driven by the increasing demand for automotive oils and greases owing to the growing trade of vehicles and their spare parts across the globe.
The growth of the lubricants is driven by growing consumer focus on enhancing the performance of the vehicle along with the launch of innovative & premium product offerings. Consumers want standard and specialized lubricants for their everyday vehicles to ensure smooth operation and save long-term maintenance expenses. Automotive lubricant makers are concentrating on developing lubricants that improve engine component performance while also reducing environmental deterioration by lowering carbon emissions.
Moreover, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to act as a restraining factor in the growth of the market. Several countries are focusing on the adoption of e-vehicles to reduce the pollution level. For instance, around 2 billion electric cars were on the road in China in 2021. Thus, this growing use of electric vehicles will hamper the growth of the product market over the period.
