Norway Automotive Lubricants Market Trends

Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : Commercial Vehicles

• In Norway, passenger vehicles (PVs) accounted for 75.32% of the total number of on-road vehicles in 2020, followed by commercial vehicles (CVs) and motorcycles, with a share of 15.14% and 9.54%, respectively.
• In 2020, commercial vehicles accounted for the highest share of 55.57% in total lubricant consumption, as compared to 54.46% in 2019. This was due to a notable dip in lubricant consumption in the PVs segment, with a comparatively lesser dip in the CVs segment due to freight transportation requirements amid COVID-19 in 2020.
• The CVs segment is projected to be the fastest-growing lubricant consumer, with a CAGR of 2.41%, over the forecast period, due to the recovery in sales from the COVID-19 impact. In Norway, though commercial vehicles majorly have combustion engines, their lubricant consumption is likely to increase with a rise in sales and the average distance traveled per year.
