Uganda Lubricants Market Overview and Size
The lubricants market of Uganda was observed to be in its growth stage majorly due to rapid industrialization and growing sales volume of pre-owned vehicles thus, driving the demand for both automotive and industrial lubricants in the country. Presently, Uganda lubricants market is majorly importing base oil and finished products due to lack in terms of technology to extract base oil from crude oil. Over the review period, the market observed a healthy growth both in terms of revenues as well as sales volume. Major growth drivers include increase in sales of vehicles, expansion in manufacturing and construction sector and increase in disposable income of the people who could afford good quality lubricant type.
Uganda Lubricants Market Segmentation
By Origin (Mineral, Semi-Synthetic, and Synthetic): Mineral based lubricants were witnessed to dominate Uganda lubricants market during 2018 as the lube type is available at a lower price which induces end users to pick mineral lubricants over others coupled with ease in their refining process. Others include semi-synthetic and synthetic lube types.
Uganda Automotive Lubricants Market Segmentation
By Application (Passenger Car Motor Oils and Motorcycle Oils, Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils, Hydraulic Oils, Gear Oils and Transmission Fluids; and Greases): Passenger car motor oils and motorcycle oils dominated the automotive lubricants revenue in Uganda, followed by heavy duty diesel engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils and transmission fluids; and greases in the year 2018. Passenger car motor oil was on the top of chart owing to rise in car sales year on year.
By Automotive End Users (Passenger Vehicles and Motorcycle, Commercial Vehicles, Marine and Aviation): Passenger vehicles, motorcycles and commercial vehicles were the largest consumers of automotive lubricants in Uganda in 2018. This was majorly due to the growing transportation and logistics industry in the country. Marine and aviation based lubricants have limited demand and are majorly imported from abroad.
By Channels of Distribution (OEMs and Dealer Network): Dealer networks including OEM workshops / service stations / local workshops were the leading category in terms of sales volume in the year 2018 driven by expertise and knowledge they have of the product (lube type) which enables them to advice customers based on their personal requirements. This increases customer trust and makes dealer networks a preferred channel of sale. Sale of automotive lubes through OEMs had a limited presence in Uganda.
Uganda Industrial Lubricants Market Segmentation
By Application (Hydraulic Oils, Industrial Gear Oils, Turbine Oils, Compressor Oils, Greases and Transformer Oils): Hydraulic oils were the leading category within industrial lubricants segment in 2018. This was due to their extensive usage in heavy machineries with hydraulic systems. Industrial gear oils, which are widely used in machineries are operated under extreme temperature / weather conditions, followed in terms of sales volume in the year 2018. Other industrial lubes include turbine oil, compressor oil, greases and transformer oil.
By Industrial End Users (Manufacturing, Construction, Power Generation and Others): Manufacturing sector captured the maximum consumption of industrial lubricants in Uganda as it involves high usage of heavy machinery. Construction and power generation followed in terms of sales volume in the year 2018. Others include agriculture, mining, mass roadway transports.
By Channel of Distribution (Direct Sales and Dealer network): Major companies in Uganda prefer selling industrial lubricants directly to end-users than via dealers as they have the control to evolve the sales process and manage the pipeline without the interference of external parties.
Uganda Lubricants Market Competitive Landscape
Competition stage within Uganda lubricants market was witnessed to be moderately concentrated along with the presence of major international companies which captured most of the sales volume of lubricants in Uganda during 2018. Some of the major players operating within this segment include Total, Vivo Energy, Chevron, Mogas, ENOC, Kenol Kobil, Oryx Energies, Petrocity, Hass Petroleum and others. Pricing, brand value, distribution channel as well as number and type of product variants offered by a particular company are some of various parameters on the basis of which companies compete and to reach a wider target audience in Uganda lubricants market.
Uganda Lubricants Market Future Outlook
