Recovery of the economy due to increase in crude oil prices, retrofitting
of old ships to keep them operational along with the rising marine trade, rising
prominence of the middle class in Nigeria with a boost in vehicle sales and the
increase in power demand in the country has
driven the growth of lubricants market in Nigeria.
According to the study by
Ken Research, “Nigeria
Lubricants Market Outlook to 2022- By Type of Lubricant (Engine Oil, Industrial
Oil, Transmission Oil, Marine Oil, Grease and Specialty Lubricants), Type of
Applications (Automotive and Industrial) and Region (Lagos, Northern Nigeria,
Eastern Nigeria and Western Nigeria)”, upgrading of technology to keep
up with innovations in global trends, improvement in marketing and branding of
lubricants, introduction of base oil refining and used oil processing,
increasing regulations in Nigeria lubricants market, collaboration with
transportation companies, increasing knowledge of consumers and providing
better quality lubricants at lower costs will aid the manufacturers of lubricants
in Nigeria to grow and achieve higher profits.
The Lubricants market in
Nigeria is growing at a declining rate owing to the effects of recession that
happened in the country in 2016. Mineral lubricants have dominated the market
in both pre oil slump and post oil slump period in Nigeria. However, in the
current scenario, there has been a rapidly increasing demand for synthetic
lubricants owing to their reliability, better performance and ability to
preserve the life of machines. Price of lubricants and brand are the major
factors which affect consumer choice in Nigeria lubricant market. The
demand of lubricants of domestic market is met by both the global players as
well as independent marketers in Nigeria. Major proportion of lubricants in
Nigeria is consumed by the automotive sector while a smaller share in the
market belongs to industrial lubricant segment. The automotive lubricants are
largely used by passenger cars and commercial vehicles while manufacturing
sector is the biggest end user of industrial lubricants in the country.
Since second-hand vehicles
dominated the Nigerian vehicle market as only a small segment of society is
able to afford new vehicles, and used cars require more frequent lubricant
changes as compared to newer models, it contributed to the volume demand of automotive
lubricants in Nigeria. The slowdown in economic
growth because of the economic recession that happened in 2016 in Nigeria as a
result of a drop in oil prices globally, and the state of the foreign exchange
market had a serious adverse impact on various Lubricants manufacturing
companies’ ability to do business and imposed severe costs on key sectors of
the country which further cascaded into all areas of the economy. Even though the
total vehicle traffic from all ports decreased substantially from 2014 to 2015,
it has been increasing since then. This has added to the demand for marine
lubricants in the country. There has also been a gradual change in consumer
preferences towards synthetic lubricants in Nigeria with the increase in
consumer education and awareness.
