Mexico Lubricants Market Trends:

Growing vehicle ownership

Increasing vehicle ownership is fueling the Mexico lubricants market growth. As per the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI), the Mexican automotive market experienced a 9.8% rise in vehicle sales in 2024, totaling 1,496,806 units. As more individuals and businesses are purchasing vehicles for personal and commercial use, the need for engine oils, transmission fluids, brake fluids, and other lubricants is increasing steadily. The country is experiencing a consistent rise in car sales, supported by a growing middle-class population and easier access to financing options. High vehicle usage requires routine oil changes and maintenance, which enhances lubricant utilization. Urban expansion and the development of road infrastructure are encouraging more people to invest in vehicles, further impelling the market growth. With increasing disposable incomes, people tend to prefer higher-quality synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants that offer better performance and longer protection. Additionally, the commercial transportation and logistics sector is contributing significantly, as trucks, buses, and delivery vehicles need regular lubricant applications to ensure operational efficiency. Fleet operators and logistics companies regularly service their vehicles to avoid downtime, driving the demand for lubricants. Automotive workshops and service centers across urban and semi-urban areas also play a vital role in distributing and employing lubricants.

Increasing mining activities

Rising mining activities are offering a favorable Mexico lubricants market outlook. Based on INEGI’s Monthly Index of Industrial Activity (IMAI), the monthly production value of the mining sector grew by 1.4% in July 2024. As the country continues to explore and extract valuable minerals like silver, gold, and copper, the need for efficient and reliable machinery is becoming critical. Mining operations rely heavily on large-scale equipment, such as excavators, drills, loaders, and trucks, which require frequent lubrication to ensure smooth functioning and prevent wear and tear. The harsh conditions in mines, including dust, high pressure, and extreme temperatures, make it necessary to use high-performance lubricants that can withstand such environments. As mining companies aim to reduce downtime and maintain productivity, they are investing in quality lubricants for optimal equipment life and efficiency. The growing scale of mining projects in various regions of Mexico is leading to consistent lubricant utilization. Additionally, with the increasing focus on automation and advanced machinery in mining operations, the need for specialized lubricants is rising. As mining is contributing significantly to Mexico’s economy, the increasing activities in this sector are positively influencing the market.
