In 2023, Germany led European imports of non-petroleum lubricating preparations, with 57.383 million kilograms, followed by Belgium (51.531 million kilograms) and the Netherlands (44.825 million kilograms). Positive year-on-year growth was observed in most countries, notably Cyprus (14.34%), Malta (15.1%), and Slovakia (11.84%). Conversely, Germany, France, Sweden, Croatia, and Latvia experienced declines. Over five years, compound annual growth trends indicate stable expansion in Poland and Slovakia, contrasting with more sluggish growth in traditionally large markets like Germany and France.
Future trends suggest a focus on sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives will drive import dynamics. Growth can accelerate in Northern and Eastern European markets due to industrial modernization and substitution for environmentally harmful lubricants.
