  • Fastest Segment by End-user Industry - Power Generation : Due to the rising demand for energy from wind turbines and a steep drop in wind turbine installation costs, power generation is Europe's fastest-growing lubricants' end user.
  • Largest Country Market - Russia : Germany is the largest lubricant user in Europe, with a higher number of motor vehicles, wind turbines, and industrial machinery than any other country in the region.
  • Fastest Growing Country Market - France : Due to increases in end users of renewable power & electric vehicle penetration, France is the fastest growing in terms of lubricant consumption among all European countries.

Europe Lubricants Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Europe Lubricants Market according to our research experts:

Largest Segment By End User : Automotive

  • In 2020, the European lubricant market was dominated by the automotive industry, which accounted for around 49% of the total lubricant consumption in the region. In 2015-2019, lubricant consumption in the automotive industry increased by around 3.5%.
  • In 2020, COVID-19-related restrictions led to declined maintenance requirements from several industries. The major impact was observed in the automotive industry, which recorded a dip of 15.7%, followed by heavy equipment (11.45%) during 2019-2020.
  • Power generation is likely to be the fastest-growing end-user industry in the market studied, with a CAGR of 2.54% over the period 2021-2026, followed by automotive (2.49%). In Europe, the expanding power generation capacity, especially renewables capacity, is likely to drive the consumption of lubricants in the power generation industry.
