The lubricants market has a bright future since Nigeria's economy is anticipated to grow more quickly as crude oil prices rise, which will improve people's spending power in the years to come. Also, this will increase Nigeria's demand for synthetic lubricants, especially for newer vehicles. With a rise in end-user awareness of the significance of lubricant drainage, the industry is anticipated to move toward higher-quality, specialist, and synthetic lubricants. This is mostly due to upcoming government regulations on emissions, advancements in engine technology, and demands for fuel efficiency placed on equipment makers. In Nigeria, lithium-based grease is increasingly replacing sodium-based products, which once dominated the grease industry. 

Automotive and industrial lubricant market shares are anticipated to stay mostly stable, while consumption volume for each market is anticipated to rise proportionately. The Nigeria Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), which emphasizes investment in infrastructure, particularly in power, roads, rail, ports, and broadband networks, as well as the proposed Family Homes Fund, are all driving factors for the lubricants market. These initiatives to make doing business easier will also boost manufacturing sector activity.

The largest lubricant markets are in the automobile and other transportation sectors, notwithstanding market declines in those sectors. Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the slow-moving development in Nigeria's automotive sector will increase lubricant demand.

Internal combustion engines are frequently lubricated with engine oils. They are typically employed for tasks including corrosion protection, wear reduction, and smooth internal engine operation. In order to improve heat transfer and lessen stress when the moving parts are in contact, they work by forming a thin layer between them. The growth of the engine industry is under threat from technological advancements because of the lengthened engine oil change intervals.

Longer drain intervals in the automotive and industrial sectors, a slowdown in the automotive industry, and unfavorable conditions brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic are all expected to hinder the market's growth. The growth of the industrial manufacturing sector is anticipated to be advantageous for Nigeria's lubricants business during the following years. The country's declining automobile sales provided a difficult situation for the market that was being researched there. Additionally, the unique COVID-19 disease outbreak made matters worse because it has a detrimental influence on the Nigerian automotive industry and is predicted to cause less frequent vehicle repair, which will negatively impact lubricant consumption.
