China Passenger Vehicles Lubricants Market Trends

Largest Segment By Product Type : Engine Oils

• In China, among all product types, engine oils accounted for a share of 80.17% of the total passenger vehicle (PV) lubricant demand during 2020. During 2015-2019, the overall engine oil consumption increased at a CAGR of 7.95% due to a rise in travel rates of the domestic passenger vehicle fleet.
• During 2020, PV engine oil consumption recorded a growth rate of 1.42%, while grease recorded negative growth of 6.26%. This negative trend in grease demand was majorly due to COVID-19 restrictions, which considerably reduced vehicle use and greater service requirements for greases.
