Automotive Fluids Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Engine Oil, Gear Oil, Transmission Fluids, Brake Fluids, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive fluids help a vehicle to keep up its performance by lubricating parts. Automotive fluids consist of engine oil, transmission fluids, brake fluids, and others. Transmission fluid maintains the transmission functioning properly by lubricating the components and hindering from damaging through friction. Dirty lubricants can cause braking system damage. It should be emptied and replaced timely with new, clean fluid. Brake fluid is required to keep braking system in good working order. There are also engine oils that lubricate the engine, restricting friction and heat damage. All of these fluids contribute to the proper operation of automobiles.

The automotive lubricants market is expanding as demand for engine oils, brake fluids, and transmission fluids rises in both commercial and consumer vehicles. Soaring demand for ultra - light and elevated performance vehicles in developing economies, combined with rising disposable income, is expected to drive the market growth. However, fluctuating supply of crude oil is limiting growth of the market. Also, shifting preference towards electric vehicles is likely to challenge growth of the market during the forecast period.
