Shell Tops Global Lubricants Market for 19ᵗʰ Consecutive Year
PHILIPPINES, Manila — Shell Lubricants has retained its status as the leading global supplier of finished lubricants for 19 consecutive years, according to the 23rd edition of Kline & Company’s (Kline) Global Lubricants: Market Analysis and Assessment 2025.
Kline ranks Shell as the #1 global lubricants supplier
based on finished lubricants sales volumes across automotive and industrial
segments worldwide. According to the report, Shell has maintained its leading
position with a global market
share of 11.6%, with global sales in 2024 being split almost
evenly between the three segments: 37%
consumer automotive, 32%
industrial, and 31%
commercial automotive.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of
automotive and industrial finished lubricants products and assesses trends
across end-use industries, trade classes, and emerging technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs) and immersion cooling fluids (ICFs)
in both digital and energy infrastructure. Shell once again held its number one
ranking across all three categories: consumer
automotive, commercial
automotive, and industrial.
“At nineteen consecutive years of leadership as the
number one global supplier of finished lubricants, we remain focused on the
ability of lubricants to power progress across consumer, commercial and
industrial applications. Our aim is to become the most customer-focused energy
marketer and trader, and we continue to invest in premium, high-efficiency
products. These offerings create long-term value in areas where we have market
leadership and competitive advantages.” said Jason Wong, Global Executive Vice President Shell Lubricants.
According to Sushmita
Dutta, Senior Project Manager at Kline, “To maintain the number one position in the
global lubricants market for nineteen consecutive years is a remarkable
achievement. Our analysis shows that Shell’s success is built on a consistent
strategy: investing in technologically advanced, premium products and building lasting
relationships with customers across all sectors.”
Shell’s global leadership position has been
strengthened by its continued investment in premium and differentiated
products, including Shell Advance motorcycle oil,
Shell Helix
passenger car motor oil, Shell
Rimula truck and heavy-duty engine oils, and Shell Tellus and Shell Gadus for industrial
sectors, among other brands—all preferred
brands in major markets worldwide.
In 2025, Shell
Helix Ultra became one of the first brands to upgrade to the
latest API SQ
specifications, reinforcing Shell’s technology leadership in engine performance
and protection. This milestone was followed by the launch of Shell Advance Ultra with API SP,
Shell’s most advanced motorcycle and scooter engine oil, trusted globally and
the only premium motorcycle oil recommended by Ducati Corse. Shell also renewed its decade-long
partnership with BMW M
Motorsport, underscoring its commitment to pushing lubricant
technology boundaries.
Beyond automotive, Shell introduced DLC Fluid S3, a cutting-edge Direct Liquid Cooling solution
for high-performance computing and AI. In May, Shell Lubricants achieved an
industry first when its immersion cooling fluids became the first to receive Intel certification,
enabling their use in data centers worldwide.
