World demand for lubricants is projected to reach 41 million metric tons by 2015, driven by strong economic growth in developing countries. Process oils are expected to be the fastest growing product segment due to the difficulty in boosting efficiency. The developing regions of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe will be the main drivers of growth in key markets like motor vehicles and manufacturing. Lubricant demand in Western Europe and North America is forecast to increase at a slower pace.

Report Summary
World demand to reach 41 million metric tons by 2015
World demand for lubricants will rise more than two percent annually to 41 million metric
tons in 2015, driven primarily by strong economic growth as countries continue to recover
from the impact of the global economic recession in 2009. The fastest increases will
continue to be in Asia, followed by the Africa/Mideast region. Healthy advances in Eastern
Europe will reflect a rebound in the region’s industrial output, while demand growth in
Central and South America will moderate along with the region’s economy. While still below
the global average, advances in North America and Western Europe will also contribute to
rising global demand, reversing the secular declines of the previous decade.
Process oils to be fastest growing product segment
In terms of product types, engine oils will continue to account for the greatest share of
lubricant demand going forward. This will primarily reflect the importance of transportation
in an increasingly global economy, both from a consumer and a commercial perspective.
Process oils will post the fastest growth due to the greater difficulty of boosting consumption
efficiency of these lubricants in comparison to hydraulic and metalworking fluids, both of
which will experience below average gains as companies everywhere work to reduce unit
consumption in an effort to maintain competitiveness. Despite the slow growth in hydraulic
and metalworking fluids, significant value opportunities will still exist for new, higher
performance oils, and/or more environmentally friendly fluids that meet the increasingly
strict regulations found in developed countries. This will be reflected in the above-average
advances in nonconventional Lubricant Market demand going forward, even as traditional
petroleum-based lubricant demand continues to expand as well.
Developing regions to drive key motor vehicle market
With per capita motor vehicle ownership rates rising quickly in Asia, the Middle East, Central
and South America and Eastern Europe, motor vehicle lubricant demand will continue to
expand throughout the forecast period. Motor vehicles are the largest market for lubricants,
and growth will be led by strong gains in the developing Asian countries due to rapid
expansion of the motor vehicle park, particularly in China and India. However, the trend
toward increased drain intervals, influenced in part by the growing availability of superior,
high performance synthetic lubricants, will result in declining demand in Western Europe
and North America.

Manufacturing and other markets to lead gains
The fastest growth in lubricant demand through 2015 will be in manufacturing and other
markets. The Asia/Pacific region, led by China, will continue to be the primary driver of
growth in these markets due to companies worldwide pursuing the region’s key advantages
of relatively low labor costs and political stability. Central and South America and the

2. Africa/Mideast region will also achieve favorable growth in manufacturing as significant
countries in both regions continue to industrialize.
