a market that ref lects the contradictions
of the automotive sector
2024,
Driven by ageing vehicles, the lubricants market remained
stable in 2024. Even if the decrease in diesel engines and the rise
of hybrid and petroldriven vehicles lower quantities per vehicle
this trend is counterbalanced by an increase in the number of
vehicles on the road and their average age thereby requiring more
maintenance With consumers worried about their spending power
some postpone servicing their vehicles some service their vehicles
themselves or use retail brand goods rather than premium brand
goods Lastly the impact of electrical vehicles remains modest the
majority of new models are hybrid promoting a rise in technical
product ranges and an increased demand for more f luid and tech
nologicalbased lubricants

A record year thanks
to sustained membership growth
In 2024 CYCLEVIA records show that 431000tonnes of oils
were placed on the market ie nearly 20000tonnes more than in 2023
proving the ef fectiveness of the strategy implemented In contrast
to the markets stable trend and the reductions announced for future years
around 2 per year this rise can be explained by both the membership
drive initiated by CYCLEVIA with around a hundred new producers
and the increased compliance of equipment manufacturers Nearly 96
of estimated global tonnages are now subject to ecofees
of oils declared and subject
to eco-fees
i.e. nearly
96
of the estimated
amount of oils placed
on the market
