Thailand`s lubricant demand is expected to grow this year as the automobile manufacturing sector expands and foreign companies relocate to the country to avoid tariffs imposed as part of the trade war between the United States and China, according to a global consultancy.
In 2019, overall lubricant demand is expected to reach 675,000 metric tons, for a compound annual growth rate of 7.4 percent from 2017 to 2019, according to Ipsos` figures released to Lube Report, overtaking its previous estimate of 547,000 tons for 2020.
[Thailand`s total automotive production volume grew almost 10 percent in 2018 (from 1.98 million units in 2017 to 2.16 million units in 2018) and continued its growth in the first-half of 2019," said Chukiat Wongtaveerat, head of consulting in Thailand and Myanmar, for Ipsos Business Consulting. [Demand for automotive lubricants in Thailand also increased 19 percent in 2018."
Thailand`s lubricant market is the second largest in Southeast Asia. In 2017, demand was 584,000 tons. Consumer automotive products accounted for 49 percent of that volume, industrial lubes for 31 percent, heavy-duty truck lubricants 15 percent and metalworking oils and fluids for 5 percent.
Amid the U.S.-China trade war, direct foreign investments into Thailand have increased, including those made by Chinese manufacturers. According to the country`s central bank, the Bank of Thailand, direct foreign investments increased 60 percent to 432 billion baht (about U.S. $14 billion) in 2018, compared to the previous year.
Wongtaveerat said that ongoing public investment projects and a foreign manufacturing base that is expanding partly due to [the relocation of Chinese tire manufacturers to Thailand, will increase the demand for industrial lubricants in the country as they need lubricant in their production process.
