Report Description
Automotive Lubricants Market Outlook 2031
The global automotive lubricants market size was valued at USD 74.80 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD 86.13 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 1.58% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for high-performance and lightweight vehicles in emerging economies, rising need for high-performance lubricants, and growing disposable income.
Lubricant is a fluidic material that is used to minimize wear and tear by reducing friction between contact surfaces. Depending on end-uses, it is made using appropriate additives and base oils from specific groups. Automotive lubricants are essential for a vehicle's efficient operation and protection.
A variety of automotive lubricants is available in the market, each having a different source or base oil. Mineral-based lubricants comprise the majority of lubricants. In the automotive sector, lubricants are utilized in a variety of applications, including brake systems, fuel systems, body component stamping, and gearbox production. Automotive lubricants help in temperature control by collecting heat generated by the vehicle's moving parts and transmitting it to the sump or cooler.
Automotive Lubricants Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
Drivers

Global Automotive Lubricants Market Segment Insights
Based on oil types, the market is divided into semi-synthetic, synthetic, and conventional. The conventional segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period, due to its low price. This factor increases the adoption of this segment in many developed regions including North America and Europe.
In terms of product types, the global automotive lubricants market is segregated into general industrial oil, transmission and hydraulic fluids, engine oil, gear oil, coolant, and brake fluid & greases. Engine oil is essential for the correct operation of an automobile's engine, which is commonly referred to as the "heart" of the vehicle.
Engine oil keeps the engine cool while assisting in the efficient functioning of moving parts. Engine oil must be changed regularly to extend the life of the engine and prevent dirt and pollutants from accumulating.
Based on vehicle types, the market is segmented into light commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and others. The passenger vehicles segment is projected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period, due to growth in global demand for passenger vehicles, increasing expenditure on public transportation, and consumers' preferences for efficient and convenient transportation.
On the basis of regions, the global automotive lubricants market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Developing countries in Asia Pacific are expected to maintain steady growth rates, due to increased expansion of the global economy. Furthermore, increasing investments by key manufacturers in the region is another important factor driving the market.
