Lubricants are substances that reduce friction between surfaces in contact, minimizing wear, enhancing efficiency, and preventing corrosion. They achieve this by decreasing friction, reducing heat from surface movement. Lubricants may also perform functions like transmitting forces, carrying particles, or regulating temperature. This friction-reduction property is called lubricity, benefiting machinery in various ways.

The Italian lubricant market is poised for increased lubricant consumption due to rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and growing investments from both private and government sectors aimed at enhancing cost-effective manufacturing operations. This market holds substantial importance in terms of both its value and volume, and its growth has remained consistent, propelled by expanding industrial activities, a thriving automotive sector, and ongoing infrastructure projects.

In the short term, the market's expansion is being driven by a heightened use of high-performance lubricants within the automotive industry. However, there is an anticipation that market progress could be hampered by fluctuations in raw material prices. Looking to the future, the lubricant market is expected to thrive with rising demand for electric vehicles and wind turbines, driving further growth. The automotive sector, particularly the increasing number of vehicles in operation, significantly contributed to the lubricant market. The need for automotive lubricants stemmed from routine vehicle maintenance and the expanding vehicle fleet. Technological advancements in lubricants, notably the development of synthetic lubricants with superior qualities, made a significant impact on the market by offering enhanced performance, efficiency, and extended equipment lifespan.

Nevertheless, the increasing energy expenses have caused lubricant prices to surge, resulting in a decline in consumer demand. Also, the rivalry from synthetic lubricants and other technologies is one major obstacle. Traditional lubricant producers must adjust and innovate to keep their market share as synthetic lubricants become more economical and effective. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on the automotive industry, resulting in decreased vehicle sales, industrial closures, reduced transportation activities, and an overarching economic recession. Consequently, the lubricants market faced a prolonged period of lethargic expansion during this challenging period.

The Italian lubricant market was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. A temporary drop in demand for lubricants was seen across many industries, including manufacturing and transportation, as a result of the widespread lockdowns and economic disruptions. Consumption fell as a result of reduced industrial output and travel restrictions. However, the demand for lubricants increased as economic activity gradually picked up, particularly in 2021. To overcome the obstacles the pandemic provided, the market had to adjust to shifting consumer behaviours and give priority to digital solutions for product delivery and marketing.
