Market Segmentation

by Propulsion Type

  • Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
  • Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
  • Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)

by Vehicle Type

  • Passenger Vehicles
  • Light Commercial Vehicles
  • Heavy Commercial Vehicles

The fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles in the propulsion type segment is expected to be dominated by the hybrid electric vehicles segment. In terms of vehicle type, passenger vehicle will dominate the Fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles due to the large fleet of these vehicles.

by Product Type (Grease, Thermal Fluids, Drive System Fluids, Brake Fluids)

The thermal fluids segment dominates the fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles due to the higher volume and per liter cost of this fluid.

by Distribution Channel (OEMs, Aftermarket)

The OEMs channel is anticipated to dominate the global fluids and lubricants market for EVs as most of the fluids have a very low replacement rate and can last for the entire electric vehicle's lifetime without being flushed.

by Region

  • North America
  • Asia-Pacific and Japan
  • China
  • Europe
  • South America
  • Middle East and Africa

China generated the highest revenue of $571.2 million in 2021, which is attributed to the increase in sales of electric vehicles and the high cost of fluids/liter in the China region. The fluids and lubricants market for electric vehicles is attractive in China due to the availability of diverse market segments.
