Largest Segment By Product Type : <span style="font-family: 'regular_bold';color:#0e7db3;">Engine Oils</span>
- Passenger vehicles (PVs) account for the highest consumption volume of automotive lubricants. However, after registering peak demand during 2016, their lubricant consumption has been on a declining trend owing to economic uncertainties caused by Brexit.
- In 2020, due to the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19, lubricant consumption rate in the segment fell by 18.32%. The three-month lockdown in the first quarter of 2021 is likely to slow the sales growth more in comparison to the previously expected rate.
- In the second half of 2021, government incentives to increase electric vehicle penetration are likely to support passenger vehicle population growth. Vehicle production is likely to recover from the impact of Brexit and COVID-19 at a slow pace over the first half of the forecast period. Hence, the PV lubricant consumption is likely to register a CAGR of 1.95% during the period.
