During 2020, PV lubricants consumption declined by 2.87% due to the lower usage of the vehicle fleet post the COVID-19 outbreak.
- During 2021-2026, the transmission oils segment is projected to grow at a steady rate, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5%. This growth is likely to be driven by the rise in sales of passenger cars (both new and used) and recovery in average distance traveled in the country.
