Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Commercial Vehicles</span>
- In Russia, engine oils account for the major share of automotive lubricants. During 2015-2019, engine oil consumption in Russia recorded a negative CAGR of -0.31%. The decreasing annual mileage of automobiles in the country and the growing penetration of synthetic lubricants have been the key factors leading to the decline in automotive engine oil consumption.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in a massive decline in the usage rate of the existing vehicle fleets in the country and caused a 16.13% drop in engine oil consumption.
- The re-employment of lockdowns due to the second wave of COVID-19 and the country's declining active motorcycle population are likely to negatively impact engine oil demand. However, the growing passenger vehicle population and activity in the commercial vehicles segment are projected to increase engine oil consumption in the next five years.
