France Automotive Engine Oil Market Trends
Largest Segment By Vehicle Type : Commercial Vehicles
- After steady growth during 2015-2017, France's automotive engine oil consumption has been consistently decreasing since 2018. Due to the country's strict emission standards, the declining diesel-based passenger fleet has been the major factor dictating this trend.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in a major decline in the usage of the existing vehicle fleet of the country, in turn causing 17.61% decline in engine oil consumption compared to 2019.
- Despite the expected recovery in sales and production of passenger vehicles, an increase in the penetration of electric vehicles is likely to have a negative impact on engine oil consumption. Additionally, the persisting COVID-19 crisis is expected to hinder the growth of engine oil consumption in the country for a brief period. Hence, engine oil consumption is anticipated to record a CAGR of 1.99% during 2021-2026.
