The global automotive lubricants market to grow at a CAGR of 4.60% during the period 2017-2021. Lubricants are materials that reduce the friction between components in a vehicle.

The report, Global Automotive Lubricants Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One trend in the market is constant need for technological upgrade. The rapid technological advances in the manufacturing of machinery and automobiles are intensifying the need for environment-friendly and high-performance lubricants and lubricant additives. Therefore, lubricant manufacturers must constantly upgrade their production capabilities and product portfolio to match the revised requirements.

According to the report, one driver in the market is heavy dependence on IC engines for logistics. Emerging countries like India and China are exhibiting an increase in the preference for transportation through roads. In 2016, IC engines held a market share of more than 95% of the total commercial vehicles sold globally and played a key role in logistics. In the commercial vehicles segment, there are hardly any vehicles that run on battery or alternate fuels. Hence, there is a high dependency on IC engines for transportation. All such engines require lubricants. Even the amount of lubricants required in medium and heavy vehicles is more than other vehicles.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is rise in demand for battery electric vehicles. The sales of battery electric vehicles have been gaining momentum since 2014. Though many factors have contributed to the growing sales of battery electric vehicles, the most crucial factor is the government initiative to promote the adoption of battery electric vehicles among consumers. The battery electric vehicles market is nurtured by governments worldwide to curb high emission levels. The global battery electric vehicles market is flourishing due to numerous benefits and perks provided by governments.
