Lubrication
While the global lubricants market is estimated at a massive 46 billion litres, it has shown minimal volume movement over the past few years, mainly due to economic conditions. However, the demand for high performance synthetic products has grown.
The popularity of synthetic engine oil has grown as an alternative to conventional mineral oils. Industry reports indicate the synthetic oil growth rate to be three times greater than that of mineral oil. The benefits of high performance synthetic and semi-synthetic oils have resulted in its adoption into both the automotive and industrial markets.
The transport sector in Africa is a key consumer of lubricants. But, where more advanced economies are fast-tracking the adoption of synthetic lubricants, the African market is lagging behind. Commercial vehicle demographics show a clear disconnect in terms of engine lubricant quality.
