The growth in the fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles is expected to be driven by increasing sales of electric vehicles around the world.
Market Lifecycle Stage
The fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles is at an early stage and is growing swiftly. Ongoing research and development activities in manufacturing efficient, anti-wear, and optimal temperature fluids are expected to boost key market development activities.
The fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles is in the growth phase. A growing fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) is consuming more and more EV fluids. As a result, the fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles is expected to flourish in the forecast period 2022-2031.
Impact
- Huge investments in the form of subsidies and infrastructure development by government and federal agencies to promote electric vehicles to cut down carbon dioxide emissions are propelling the growth of electric vehicle fluids and lubricants.
- According to CALSTART's Zero-Emission Technology Inventory, the North America market will have 54 manufacturers offering over 100 models of electric heavy commercial vehicles by 2022, which will boost the fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles. Sales of electric heavy commercial vehicles will lead to an increase in fluid and lubricant consumption. Compared to normal electric cars, heavy commercial vehicles require more maintenance, which may boost aftermarket sales.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles has been negligible. Despite the pandemic, there was a slight increase in electric vehicle fluids and lubricants consumption. COVID-19 has enhanced awareness of the environment. Because of this, more and more people are planning to purchase sustainable vehicles. This will propel the fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles.
