Italy Automotive Engine Oils Market Trends
Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : Commercial Vehicles
- In Italy, engine oils segment accounted for the major share of automotive lubricant demand of about 65.27% during 2020. However, the growth of engine oil consumption in Italy during the period was unstable due to the volatile trend in the annual mileage of passenger vehicles in Italy.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak had resulted in a massive decline in the existing vehicle fleet activity, which subsequently delayed service intervals. As a result, engine oil consumption in the country decreased by around 14.05%.
- Despite the expected recovery in sales and production in the automotive industry, the increasing penetration of electric vehicles is likely to have a marginally negative impact on engine oil consumption. Overall, engine oil consumption is expected to record a CAGR of 2.06% during 2021-2026.
