  • Fastest Growing Country Market - United States : The recovering usage of large vehicle fleets and the growing production output for the domestic and export markets are anticipated to boost lubricant consumption.

North America Automotive Engine Oils Market Trends

Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : Passenger Vehicles

  • During 2015-2020, North America recorded a fluctuating trend in the consumption of engine oils, thus registering a negative CAGR of 3.65%.
  • A majority of engine oils used in the region meet the latest standards set by the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) and the American Petroleum Institute (API). Although these synthetic grades have higher profit margins per gallon, they also support higher drain intervals. Hence, the higher penetration of synthetic engine oils restrained the product's volume growth during 2015-2020.
  • Post the COVID-19 outbreak, the engine oil change requirements of vehicles further declined. As the usage of the existing automotive fleet is gradually rising, the engine oil volume consumption is likely to recover at a rate of 2.19% during the forecast period.
