Automotive engine oil, commonly known as motor oil, plays a critical role in the function and longevity of vehicle engines. It serves several key purposes: it lubricates engine components to minimize friction, helps to cool engine parts, prevents corrosion, and cleans sludge from the engine. By performing these functions, engine oil ensures that the engine operates smoothly and efficiently, which is essential for vehicle maintenance and performance. The expansion of the automotive industry, along with rising vehicle production and sales, is driving the demand for automotive engine oil. Governments worldwide are imposing stricter regulations on emissions and fuel economy which led to the need for more efficient engine oils that can help in achieving these environmental targets, prompting innovations in engine oil formulations. Volatility in raw material prices and availability of alternative technologies hampers the market growth. Rising development of engine technologies that often require specialized engine oils to operate effectively, such as synthetic oils that can handle higher temperatures and pressures are expected to create opportunities for market growth.
