The lubricant packaging market is projected to record a CAGR of ~5% during 2019-2029, majorly driven by the sales of automobiles, despite increasing prevalence of electric vehicles in the transport sector. An incessant rise in number of passenger vehicles worldwide has translated into rewarding opportunities for the lubricant packaging manufacturers. However, it is pertinent to note that recent slowdown of auto sales in countries such as China and India which represent the world’s largest automotive industry may negatively affect the market growth.

The use of flexible packaging formats such as stand-up pouches & bag-in-box has been on the rise for lubricant packaging in the past couple of years, as lubricant manufacturers place their focus on achieving improved portability and convenience.
Key Takeaways from the Lubricant Packaging Market Study
- Plastic accounts for a hefty share in the lubricant packaging market, and is anticipated to retain its edge over other materials. With the ever-increasing demand for smaller pack sizes and pouches, plastic is likely to remain the material of choice for lubricant packaging. However, it is projected to lose grounds to metal as aversion for plastics surges globally.
- Despite the emergence of flexible packaging alternatives, drums continue to experience a sustained preference in the global lubricant packaging market, as obstacles to switching to alternative packaging formats are still significant.
- Stand-up pouches and bag-in-box containers are gradually making their way in lubricant packaging, but have a long way to go.
- The automotive industry has shaped the dynamics of lubricant packaging, and it continues to influence the global market scenario by holding nearly 1/3rd of the revenue share.
- Although packaging for engine oil is anticipated to influence the growth strategies till 2023, it is likely to register relatively low growth rate, due to emergence of electric vehicles.
