The North Africa Automotive Lubricants Market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 4.5% during the forecast period of 2024-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The factors responsible for the increasing oil & grease demand are rising vehicle sales, the increasing establishment of manufacturing facilities, the inclination towards bio-based lubricants, etc. In recent years, the economy of a few of the countries has substantially increased, resulting in higher per capita expenditure of consumers. This, in turn, made the automobiles more affordable to the end-users and they increasingly bought the vehicles for their transportation. The extensive usage of the vehicles creates friction in the engine, negatively affecting the operational efficiency of the vehicle. Thus, to maintain the longevity of the automobile, the end-users use the lubricants, supporting the market growth & expansion.

Moreover, the North African nations have flexible corporate laws, making these countries ideal for setting up production units. Thus, several manufacturers are establishing their units across the region. The construction of the manufacturing facilities augments the demand for heavy commercial vehicles to transport goods & building materials. Consequently, amplifying the requirement for grease to ensure the adequate functioning of the engine and enlarging the market size & volume.

Along with this, consumers are becoming more aware of the environment and looking for sustainable & chemical-free alternatives to lubricants. Thus, they are actively transitioning towards bio-based lubricants. Additionally, they provide superior performance and are more fuel-efficient, making them an ideal choice for customers looking for economically viable solutions. Also, several companies are signing up for corporate sustainability goals, owing to which they are choosing products that do not negatively impact the environment. This, increasing shift towards eco-friendly solutions, would continue to uplift the demand for bio-based automotive lubricants in the upcoming years, further states the research report, “North Africa Automotive Lubricants Market Analysis, 2024.”
