A specialised platform at Automechanika Dubai, LABX brings together R&D specialists, formulators, OEMs, and industry leaders to explore how lubricants are evolving to support next-generation mobility systems.
The conference addresses key technical and strategic developments from formulation innovation and thermal management to circularity, digitalisation, and evolving business models. Through technical deep dives and expert-led discussions, it provides a focused exploration of formulation and performance challenges.
The agenda highlights how lubricants are enabling new mobility systems, including electrified and multi-energy platforms, while also addressing emerging priorities such as lifecycle engineering, supply chain resilience, and market access.
Bringing together technical expertise and commercial perspectives, LABX provides a platform to exchange insights, align on industry priorities, and explore how advanced formulations can drive performance, sustainability, and long-term value creation.
The Future of Automotive Lubricants: Performance, Profit and Progress
The automotive lubricants and base oils industry is undergoing a significant shift, driven by evolving powertrain technologies, stricter performance requirements, and increasing pressure on sustainability and lifecycle efficiency.
Globally, the automotive lubricants market is valued at approximately USD 80–85 billion in 2024 and projected to exceed USD 100 billion by 2030, supported by growing vehicle fleets, increased adoption of synthetic oils, and demand for high-performance, long-lasting formulations (source: Grand View Research).
As the market evolves, lubricants are transitioning from specification-driven products to integrated system enablers, supporting performance across internal combustion, hybrid, and electric powertrains. Increasing complexity in vehicle systems is also driving demand for advanced formulations that balance efficiency, protection, and durability.
At the same time, the industry is navigating structural shifts across supply chains, localisation strategies, and circular lifecycle models, alongside growing concerns around product authenticity, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
