Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : Passenger Vehicles

  • In Brazil, engine oils accounted for about 75.5% of automotive lubricants in 2020. During 2015-2019, engine oil consumption increased at a CAGR of 2.4%. The growing active vehicle fleet and increasing service needs in the country were the key drivers for this trend.
  • In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak led to a massive decline in the usage rate of the existing vehicle fleets in the country, which led to an 8.16% dip in engine oil consumption. The passenger vehicle (PV) segment recorded the largest decline of 9.18% in engine oil consumption during the year.
  • During 2021-2026, the motorcycle segment is expected to register the highest growth of about 5.56% in engine oil consumption, followed by the PV segment (3.05%). The growth is likely to be driven by the increasing demand for mopeds and motorcycles in the country over the next five years.
