Italy Lubricants Market Trends:

Automotive Industry Performance

The automotive industry is a major user of lubricants, such as engine oils, transmission fluids, and greases. In Italy, the well-being of this sector directly influences lubricant demand. Statistics show that during the first half of 2024, there were nearly 80,057 road accidents leading to injury or death, up by 0.9% from the first half of 2023. This rise in the number of accidents means a higher adoption of vehicles and further drives the maintenance needs and, thus, the consumption of lubricants. Additionally, the recovery of the automotive sector after the pandemic has been visible. In 2023, Italy's GDP increased by 0.7%, with domestic demand, including consumers' consumption, contributing significantly. When consumer confidence and spending were better, automobile sales and usage probably followed an upward trend and supported lubricant demand further. Furthermore, new vehicle models and improvements in automotive technology create a need for specialty lubricants. High-performance lubricants, with their specific demands of today's engines, are becoming more important to manufacturers and are driving the market growth.

Economic Growth and Industrial Output

Italy's economy plays a very impactful role in the lubricants market, particularly through industry. Its GDP surged by 0.7% in 2023, led by domestic demand. This reflects a stable economic condition, which encourages high industrial production and, by extension, the demand for more industrial lubricants. The building construction industry, an avid user of industrial lubricants, demonstrated strength with 1.5% value-added growth during the first quarter of 2023. The growth indicates increasing building activities, and hence more usage of equipment and machinery that need constant lubrication. In addition, the industrial production index, or the measure of industrial sector output, is an important indicator. Although, industrial production trends have a direct influence on the consumption of lubricants utilized in equipment and machinery maintenance. An expanding industrial sector generally translates to higher lubricant demand. In short, the Italian lubricants market largely depends on the performance of the automotive sector and the economic development of the nation. Growth in the use of vehicles and manufacturing activities stimulates demand for different types of lubricants, highlighting the dependence of the market on these sectors.
