- In Malaysia, passenger vehicle is the largest segment in terms of automotive lubricant consumption. During 2015-2019, the country recorded a CAGR of 6.12% in PV lubricant consumption, majorly driven by growth in vehicles on-road and PV production in the country.

Engine oil accounted for the largest share in PV lubricant consumption, with a share of about 76.59% during the year.
