Research and Markets: Lubricant Oil Manufacturing in the US - Greasing the wheels: Revenue will slowly recover as consumers make car-related expenses again

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6v78x8/lubricant_oil) has announced the addition of the "Lubricant Oil Manufacturing in the US" report to their offering.

The industry experienced its share of wear and tear during the Great Recession, which led to a downturn in consumer income and downstream manufacturing activity. As a result, fewer lubricant products were purchased during the recession and industry revenue dropped. However, strong demand after the recession resulted in overall positive growth over the past five years. The long-term outlook is positive for the industry. Improving economic conditions will bolster demand from downstream manufacturers. Revenue will also benefit from rising oil demand from consumers, as the number of cars on the road and the number of miles driven increase.

Operators in this industry manufacture petroleum products (except for asphalt paving, roofing and saturated materials), such as blended motor oils, brake fluids, lubricating grease and other oil-based additives. Key buyers include downstream automobile manufacturers, wholesalers and automotive retail chains.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
