Description

Growth Factors of Automotive Engine Oil Market

The global automotive engine oil market is experiencing steady growth, driven by advancements in engine technologies, increasing vehicle ownership, and a rising focus on fuel efficiency and emission reduction. According ta report by Fortune Business Insights, the market was valued at USD 36.49 billion in 2018 and is projected treach USD 45.66 billion by 2026, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.88% during the forecast period.

Market Segmentation

The automotive engine oil market is segmented based on grade, engine type, application area, and geography.
  • By Grade:
Mineral Oil: Derived directly from refined crude petroleum, mineral oils are the most basic type of engine oils. They are commonly used due ttheir cost-effectiveness and availability. However, they offer lower performance compared tsynthetic variants.

Synthetic Oil: Manufactured through chemical synthesis, synthetic oils provide superior performance, including better fuel efficiency, reduced oil consumption, and extended oil change intervals. Their resistance ttemperature variations and oxidation makes them suitable for modern engines.

Semi-synthetic Oil: A blend of mineral and synthetic oils, semi-synthetic variants offer a balance between cost and performance, providing better protection and efficiency than mineral oils.
  • By Engine Type:
Diesel Engines: Diesel engines are more fuel-efficient and emit lower CO2 compared tpetrol engines. They require engine oils with higher anti-wear resistance due thigher compression ratios.

Petrol Engines: Petrol engines operate at higher RPMs and temperatures, necessitating engine oils that can withstand thermal breakdown and provide adequate lubrication.

Alternative Fuel Engines: With the rise of alternative fuels, there is a growing need for specialized engine oils compatible with these new engine types.
  • By Application Area:
Passenger Vehicles: The largest segment, driven by increasing vehicle ownership and the demand for personal transportation.

Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV): These vehicles require engine oils that can handle heavy loads and extended operating hours.

Two-Wheelers: A significant segment in regions like Asia Pacific, where motorcycles are a primary mode of transport.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific dominated the automotive engine oil market, holding a 34.03% share in 2018. This dominance is attributed tthe high number of vehicles in countries like China, India, and Thailand. The region's rapid urbanization and rising income levels have led tincreased vehicle ownership, thereby boosting the demand for engine oils.

North America and Europe are alssignificant markets. In North America, government initiatives promoting energy-saving automotive engine oils and consumer awareness contribute tmarket growth. Europe's market is influenced by stringent environmental regulations and a focus on high-performance synthetic oils.

Trends and Growth Factors
  • Demand for High Mileage Vehicles: As consumers seek vehicles with longer lifespans, the demand for high-quality engine oils that enhance engine durability and performance is increasing. Lower viscosity oils are favored for their ability timprove fuel economy and reduce emissions.
  • Shift Towards Synthetic Oils: Synthetic engine oils are gaining popularity due ttheir superior properties, such as better temperature resistance, reduced volatility, and longer oil change intervals. These oils cater tmodern engines' requirements, which are designed for higher efficiency and lower emissions.
  • Technological Advancements: The evolution of engine and hardware technologies, including turbochargers and advanced fuel injection systems, necessitates engine oils that can provide enhanced protection and performance. Manufacturers are investing in research and development tformulate oils that meet these advanced specifications.
Challenges

The market faces challenges such as volatility in raw material prices, which can affect production costs and pricing strategies. Additionally, the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which dnot require traditional engine oils, poses a potential threat tmarket growth. However, the impact of EVs is expected tbe gradual, allowing manufacturers time tadapt and explore new opportunities.

Competitive Landscape

The automotive engine oil market is consolidated, with the top 10 companies accounting for about 50% of the global market revenue. Key players are focusing on research and development tintroduce innovative products that meet evolving engine requirements and environmental standards. For instance, in July 2018, Valvoline Inc. acquired Great Canadian Oil Change Franchising Ltd., expanding its quick-lube network and strengthening its market position in North America.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
