Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : Commercial Vehicles
- In Thailand, engine oils accounted for about 64% of automotive lubricants in 2020. During 2015-2019, engine oil consumption in the country recorded a CAGR of 0.22%. The increase in the vehicle population drove engine oil consumption during this period.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak led to a massive decline in the usage rate of the existing vehicle fleets in the country, which led to a 14.4% dip in engine oil consumption. The motorcycle segment recorded the largest decline of 16.4% in engine oil consumption during the year.
- Over the forecast period, the passenger vehicle (PV) segment is expected to register the highest growth of about 4.57% in engine oil consumption. The growth is likely to be driven by PV sales in the country over the next five years. However, the growth is likely to be restrained to some extent due to the increasing electric vehicle sales and usage of synthetic oils.
