According to recent industry reports, the Middle East & Africa lubricant additives market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2021 to 2028. This impressive growth can be attributed to the booming automotive sector in the region. Furthermore, the regulatory authorities' growing emphasis on reducing emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency has further heightened the need for continued innovation and development in the lubricant additives market to meet these environmental objectives. It is worth noting that 2023 has been declared the Year of Sustainability, and the launch of this subject during Automechanika Dubai 2023 is perfectly aligned with this theme.
