The lubricants market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 9.85 billion in 2021 to US$ 11.25 billion by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.9% from 2021 to 2028.

Synthetic lubricants are most widely used in industrial operations and the automotive sector due to their beneficial advantages. Thus, growth prospects in industrial applications and the automotive industry are fueling the demand for synthetic lubricants. Synthetic lubricants are most widely preferred due to their superior characteristics to natural mineral oil. It is used across vertical industries, which requires a high level of consistency. Polyalphaolefin lubricant is the most common synthetic oil widely used in the automotive and industrial sectors. It has excellent physical and chemical properties, such as higher viscosity index, lower volatility, lower pour point, and greater thermal stability. Due to these properties, it is widely preferred among consumers and is expected to trend in the market over the coming years.

Group III and IV base oils are high-quality oils used for high-performance application and low viscosity motor oils in technically advanced automotive engines. Stringent emission norms, better blending flexibility due to advancement in additive technology, and growing fuel efficiency standards are some of the key factors that will boost sales of high-quality group III base synthetic lubricants. It is a premium base oil that caters the complex application.

South Africa witnessed the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the MEA, followed by Saudi Arabia and UAE. The UAE was the first country in MEA to report a confirmed case of COVID-19. Various chemicals & materials companies remained closed due to the pandemic, which led to the reduced sale of products, hampering the MEA lubricants market. However, the current surge in demand for oil & gas across various industry verticals is fueling the demand for lubricants.The pandemic has significantly slowed down the production of lubricants as well.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA lubricants market. The MEA lubricants market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
