Indian Lubricants Industry

Strong growth in the Indian automotive, power and engineering sectors is creating new market opportunities for lubricants' manufacturers, according to a new study from the research and advisory firm, India Analysis.

In the automotive sector, consumers are migrating to better quality vehicles and motorbikes and as a result, using higher grade lubricants; this is benefiting multi-grade lubricant products with strong brand recognition and wide distribution. In the industrials' segment, high levels of investment in the power, manufacturing and transport sectors should drive very strong growth for transformer oils, marine and aviation lubricants. Whilst there are no restrictions on foreign lubricant manufacturers from establishing 100%-owned operations in India, many have chosen to partner with local companies.

This new research study provides a comprehensive overview of the Indian lubricants' industry. It covers: market size and structure; historical development; regulatory environment; major players; foreign investment; and growth prospects. The study covers both the automotive and industrial lubricants sectors. It is detailed and well illustrated with appropriate graphs, maps and diagrams.
