Key Industry Development:

Product mix and technology trends

1. Across Latin America, "other product types" (synthetics, specialty lubricants, high‐performance formulations) are the fastest‐growing category, with growth around 3.9% CAGR, outpacing conventional engine oils.​

2. Reports for Brazil highlight rising demand for high‐performance synthetic lubricants, eco‐friendly and low‐emission formulations, and specialized fluids for hybrid and EV drivetrains, along with increased investments in R&D and OEM collaborations.​

Sector and demand drivers

1. Growth is driven by: expanding vehicle ownership, industrialization and infrastructure projects in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, and performance/efficiency requirements in mining, construction and manufacturing.​

2. Industrial automation and construction in Mexico are pushing hydraulic‐fluid demand ahead of the broader market, with forecasts of about 5.4% CAGR for hydraulic fluids versus 4.3% for overall lubricants through 2030.

3. Base‐oil news indicates Mexico's lubricant consumption in September 2025 rose about 1% year‐on‐year, with auto oils rebounding while industrial oils softened; a parallel recovery in Brazil's market is expected to trigger additional base‐oil import needs.​

4. Analysts note that, in a globally stagnating lubricant landscape, Brazil stands out as a relative bright spot of sustained growth, attracting continued investment from international and domestic players.

Growth Forecast Projected:

The Latin America Lubricants Market is anticipated to rise at a considerable rate during the forecast period, between 2025 and 2032.

Latest M & A

Aramco - Valvoline Global Products (VGP)

1. In April 2025, Aramco's USD 2.65 billion acquisition of Valvoline's global products business was highlighted in Latin America market analysis as a key change in the regional aftermarket.​

2. The deal deepens Aramco's downstream integration and strengthens the Valvoline brand's position on retail shelves across Latin America via expanded distribution, marketing, and base‐oil integration advantages.​

Repsol - GT‐OIL Lubrificantes (Brazil)

1. In September 2025, GT‐OIL Lubrificantes and Repsol agreed to merge their lubricant businesses in Brazil, combining local blending/distribution capabilities with Repsol's international brand and technology.​

2. The merged entity is positioned to compete more effectively with majors and large domestic players in automotive and industrial lubricants, leveraging shared plants, logistics, and a broader portfolio.​

RelaDyne - Oil Flush (Mexico industrial services)

1. An M&A roundup notes that RelaDyne expanded its Latin America footprint by acquiring Oil Flush, an industrial lubrication services company based in Chihuahua, Mexico.​

2. The move focuses on high‐value lubrication services (flushing, conditioning, reliability) for industrial clients rather than pure volume blending, but still tightens RelaDyne's grip on the broader lubricant ecosystem in the region

Market snapsot

1. Engine oils remain the largest lubricant segment, so BEV penetration directly erodes volumes; industry studies describe electrification as a structurally negative factor for traditional automotive lubricants and some metalworking fluids tied to ICE manufacturing.​

2. At the same time, a distinct EV fluids segment (e‐gear oils, e‐coolants, thermal‐management fluids, e‐greases) is emerging: estimates put the global EV fluids/e‐lubricants market around USD 2.0 billion in 2025 with 30% CAGR to 2035, far outpacing overall lubes growth but from a much smaller base.​

Regional impact on lubricant demand

Europe & North America

1. High EV penetration means flat to declining total lubricant demand: outlooks point to auto‐lube volumes in these regions contracting roughly 1% per year through 2030 as EVs and hybrids displace ICEs.​

2. However, these markets lead in EV‐specific fluids; strong OEM and regulatory pressure creates early, high‐value demand for advanced e‐coolants and e‐gear oils, so value mix improves even as total volume stagnates.​

China & broader Asia‐Pacific

1. Asia, particularly China, is "at the forefront" of electrification: EV uptake is high enough that forecasts show total light‐vehicle lubricant demand peaking before 2030 and then declining, even as industrial and commercial sectors still grow.​

2. APAC is expected to dominate the EV fluids market by value due to massive EV production and sales; OEM‐fill channels capture most of this demand, with specialized synthetic e‐fluids gaining share.​

Emerging markets (India, ASEAN, Latin America, Africa)

1. EV penetration is rising but from a low base; studies note that ICE engine‐oil demand will decline more slowly, and in some cases still grow near‐term as vehicle parc expands.​

2. This creates a two‐speed effect: legacy ICE lubes remain significant revenue drivers, while EV and hybrid fluids form a small but strategic niche where local and global blenders are beginning to invest in R&D and branding.​

Strategic implications for lubricant suppliers

Lubricant outlooks stress that EVs "reduce dependence on traditional lubricants" and will gradually shrink the combustion‐engine fluids pool, especially in Europe, North America and China.​

Growth opportunities center on:

1. EV‐specific coolants and drive‐system fluids with high dielectric strength and thermal stability.

2. High‐performance synthetics for hybrids and PHEVs, which place tougher demands on oils due to frequent stop‐start and higher operating temperatures
