  • In Japan, commercial vehicles formed the second largest segment and accounted for 48.3% of lubricant consumption. During 2015-2019, lubricant consumption in the commercial vehicle segment declined at a CAGR of 2.64% due to the high rate of phasing out of older trucks, which led to a decline in the on-road population of commercial vehicles.

In terms of lubricant consumption by commercial vehicles, engine oil accounted for a 61.79% share, followed by greases (16.14%) and transmission oils (11.99%).
