The global automotive lubricant market study analyses the demand for automotive lubricants and provides estimates and forecasts for the market, in terms of volume and value. Automotive lubricants help to reduce friction and wear-and-tear in automobiles. They also transfer heat and prevent rust and corrosion. Automotive lubricants are manufactured from base oils. The required properties are imparted to the lubricants by blending base oils with various additives such as viscosity index improvers, dispersants, and detergents. These additives improve fuel efficiency, optimize performance, and reduce the degradation of machinery and equipment. Their major application is in engine oils for automotive and industrial automotive lubricants.

Passenger cars, LCVs, and HCVs are the three major vehicle types for the automotive lubricant market. Passenger cars occupy the largest share. They held a market size, in terms of value, of $2,272.0 million in 2014 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2014 to 2019. The LCV segment holds the second-largest share, followed by the HCV segment. Asia-Pacific is the largest automotive lubricant market globally, and is estimated to hold market share, in terms of value, of 50.77% by 2019. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.76% over the forecast period. Asia-Pacific is followed by North America, with a market size, in terms of value of $1,081.7 million in 2014. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2014 to 2019. The automotive lubricant market is led by the transmission fluid application segment, which is projected to grow from $2,232.7 million in 2014 to $3,699.7 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 10.6%.

The global automotive lubricant market size, in terms of volume, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2014 to 2019. The key drivers of the market are the growing demand for LCVs and HCVs, the increasing vehicle parc, and increasing average lifespan of vehicles in operation. Government legislations for automotive lubricant are also contributing to the growth of the market. The volatility in oil prices is restraining the growth of the market. To counter this problem, the industry has shifted its focus towards developing bio-based lubricants and synthetic lubricants. New product launches and product approvals are the key strategies adopted by major players to strengthen their position in the global automotive lubricant market. Moreover, strategies such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, joint ventures, and acquisitions were also adopted by a significant number of market players to strengthen their product portfolios and to expand their geographic presence. Royal Dutch Shell PLC (Europe), Exxon Mobil Corporation (North America), and BP PLC (Europe) are the key players operating in the global automotive lubricant market.
