Another growth-inducing factor is the growing affinity for heavy-duty motor vehicle engine oils to endure adverse geographical conditions and emission standards in on-off-highway heavy vehicles, further catalyzing the market growth for GCC Automobile lubricants. Moreover, the concerted efforts made by companies to advance their products and expand their portfolios for automotive lubricants, alongside large-scale ventures and acquisitions, are expected to further prompt the upward trajectory of the market.For instance, in 2025, Karwa Motors significantly expanded its manufacturing operations in Oman by launching a new range of multi-purpose vehicles designed for logistics, military, and public transport applications.

This development was achieved through strategic partnerships with Impel and technical cooperation with MAN, reflecting the company's commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving demands of local, regional, and international markets. Further, expanding tourism infrastructure serves as a major growth factor for the automotive lubricant market in the GCC, primarily by significantly raising vehicle demand.

For instance, Oman’s recent investments—such as the OMR 4.5 million infrastructure development in Jabal Al Akhdar—are focused on enhancing road networks, constructing new recreational and hospitality facilities, and improving public services to attract more tourists. As these projects progress, the region is expected to see a substantial increase in tourist arrivals, with Oman targeting up to 4.5 million international visitors by the end of 2025. This influx of tourists drives the need for a larger and more active fleet of vehicles, including tour buses, taxis, rental cars, and logistics vehicles to support tourism activities and hospitality services. The higher frequency of vehicle usage and the expansion of commercial fleets directly translate to increased consumption of automotive lubricants for both routine maintenance and operational reliability.
