(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The global automotive oil market is projected to expand from USD 56.85 billion in 2025 to USD 73.49 billion by 2035, achieving a 2.6% CAGR over the forecast period. Growth is fueled by rising vehicle ownership in emerging economies, tightening emissions regulations, and increasing adoption of synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants. India emerges as the fastest-growing national market, propelled by BS-VI compliance, aftermarket formalization, and heightened demand for high-performance lubricants. OEMs and fleets alike are shifting toward low-viscosity, fuel-efficient, and EV-ready oils to meet carbon-reduction goals.

Industry momentum is accelerating as fleet operators adopt IoT oil-health sensors, OEMs fill 0W-20 and 5W-30 synthetics at the factory, and aftermarket players introduce subscription-based oil-analysis services. Rising EV penetration and hybrid adoption are reshaping lubricant portfolios, creating opportunities in bio-based esters, e-transmission fluids, and AI-optimized additive packages.
