Automotive Lubricants: United States Report

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2029 US automotive lubricant demand in metric tons. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of: engine oils; transmission and hydraulic fluids; and other products such as gear oils, greases, and general industrial oils.

Total demand is also segmented by market as follows: light vehicles, medium-/heavy-duty vehicles, motorcycles, and other markets such as agricultural equipment, construction equipment, and mining equipment.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2019 to 2024.

This report examines the US market for finished automotive lubricants. It should be noted that world base oil demand is discussed in terms of the location of finished lubricant end use and not of lubricant production or blending. Additionally, API Group III base oils and lubricants from which they are formulated are classified in this report as synthetic products.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
