Largest Segment By Product Type : Engine Oils

  • In South Korea, commercial vehicles formed the second largest segment and accounted for about 38.4% of lubricant consumption. During 2015-2019, lubricant consumption declined at a CAGR of 2.58% in the commercial vehicle segment due to an increase in the use of synthetic oils for extending service intervals.
  • In 2020, commercial vehicle lubricant consumption declined by 11.5% as the COVID-19 pandemic affected sales. The engine oil segment accounted for a 69% share in CV lubricant consumption, followed by hydraulic fluids (11.1%) and greases (10.6%). The majority dip of 13.54% was observed in the hydraulic fluids consumption from the CV segment during the year.
