- In 2020, passenger vehicles accounted for about 60% of the total automotive lubricant consumption in the country. Engine oil accounted for the largest share in PV lubricant consumption, accounting for a share of about 71% during the year. In 2020, PV lubricant consumption declined by 7% due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact, which led to a dip in PV sales and extended service interval.
- Over the next five years, the hydraulic fluid segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, recording a CAGR of 4.19%. The growth is likely to be driven by an increase in annual average distance traveled and growing SUV sales in the country.
