Market Trends of Europe Passenger Vehicles Lubricants Industry

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

Largest Segment By Product Type : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Engine Oils</span>

During 2015-2019, lubricant consumption in the European passenger vehicle sector increased at a CAGR of 1.21%. This growth is due to the rise in active passenger vehicle fleets and their maintenance requirements. Additionally, the high average age of vehicles in countries like Russia has been a driving factor for lubricant consumption.
In 2020, post the COVID-19 outbreak, the usage of passenger cars significantly dropped due to the restrictions put in place as a response to the pandemic. Hence, lubricant consumption fell by 18.6% compared to 2019.
The supply shortage of semiconductors and the ongoing pandemic are likely to restrict the growth of lubricant consumption in passenger vehicles in Europe in 2021 and 2022. Expected recovery in sales and production of new vehicles are likely to support the demand for lubricants of passenger vehicles in the coming years.

Largest Country : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Germany</span>

In Europe, passenger vehicle (PV) lubricant consumption is the highest in Germany, followed by Russia. In 2020, Germany accounted for 17.61% of the total PVs' lubricant consumption in Europe. The country also accounted for the largest shares in grease, hydraulic fluid, and transmission oil consumption, occupying 15.56%, 16.06%, and 20.51%, respectively, in 2020.
Russia recorded the largest volume share of 18.63% in the European PV engine oils market in 2020. However, in 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent social restrictions significantly impacted vehicle production and sales.
Uncertainties caused by consequent COVID-19 waves and production issues due to semiconductor shortages are expected to reduce the pace of sales recovery. However, the automotive sector is likely to grow from 2022, projecting a CAGR of 3.14% for the European PV lubricants market.
