However, during the past couple of decades automotive and industrial sectors were the key factors for the growth of the base oil market owing to the increasing industrialization across the globe and growing consumer purchasing power thus resulted in higher sales of automobiles. For instance, production of automobiles increased to 91.7 million in 2019 compared to 89.7 million in 2014. However, in 2020 production decreased to 77.6 million due to manufacturing shutdown in order to curtail the spread of COVID-19. However, rapid adoption of electric vehicles has opened the door for the lubricant manufacturers to focus on electric vehicles lubricants. Countries are focusing on electric vehicles to meet their net zero emission, for instance, according to IEA, for 2030, the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario projects 300 million electric cars on the road and they account for over 60% of new car sales, compared with only 4.6% in 2020

In the light of COVID-19, production and sale of automobile declined which directly affected the consumption of lubricants. Thus, affecting the market of base oil. In 2020 production decreased to 77.6 million due to manufacturing shutdown in order to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Further, halted industrial production activity due to the stringent measures taken by governments of several nation has also affected the market of base oil.
