The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on the global automotive supply chain, leading to abrupt halts in vehicle production and sales across several key markets. These disruptions resulted in the cancellation of millions of units from global manufacturing schedules. Lubricants play a vital role in the automotive sector, serving critical functions such as cooling engine pistons, preventing corrosion within the engine and oil sump, and managing friction and wear within internal engine components.

In the near term, the market is witnessing increased demand for high-performance lubricants, driven by their superior properties, including reduced flammability, minimized gear wear, and extended service life. Among the various product types, engine oils-primarily used in lubricating internal combustion engines-currently hold a leading market share and are expected to continue growing throughout the forecast period.

Looking ahead, the rising interest in bio-based lubricants is anticipated to create promising opportunities for market expansion. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region dominates global lubricant consumption, with China and India emerging as the primary demand centers.

Market Dynamics
Drivers:
The increasing adoption of bio-based base oil lubricants across various end-use industries is a significant driver of market growth. These bio-based lubricants offer greater biodegradability compared to conventional products derived from fossil fuel distillates, making them an attractive alternative amid rising environmental concerns. Lubricants are essential for the efficient and continuous operation of automotive components-particularly engines and braking systems-as well as for processing equipment in industrial applications.

Additionally, global trade in piston engine lubricants has seen steady growth, contributing to market expansion. According to data from the World Bank, in 2021, the European Union and the United States were among the leading exporters of petroleum- and mineral-based lubricants and oil additives, with trade values reaching USD 2.06 billion and USD 1.95 billion, respectively.

Challenges:
Several challenges are constraining the growth of the global lubricants market. The rising adoption of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs), regulatory restrictions on grease lubricants, and the environmental concerns associated with traditional lubricants are key factors limiting market expansion. The increasing use of EVs, which require fewer conventional lubricants such as engine oils, has directly impacted lubricant demand. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electric vehicle sales doubled in 2021, reaching 6.6 million units and accounting for 10% of all new vehicle sales worldwide. China led this growth, representing 16% of global EV sales and registering over 3.3 million new vehicles in 2021 alone. Furthermore, grease lubricants face limitations due to their short durability on surfaces and limited cooling capabilities, both of which are expected to reduce their industrial demand.

Regional Trends:
The Asia-Pacific region held the largest share of the global lubricants market. This dominance is attributed to rising demand for wind energy and a robust automotive manufacturing base in key countries such as China, India, and Japan. The United States follows as the second-largest lubricant consumer globally, after China. In China, the lubricants market is bolstered by strong growth across end-use industries such as chemicals, automotive manufacturing, and wind energy. China remains a global leader in automobile production, with the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) reporting a total output of 26,082,220 vehicles in 2021. This production volume is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, further driving regional lubricant consumption.
