石油设备网讯 据燃料与润滑油日报3月20日消息,韩国润滑油工业协会的数据显示，全球第八大润滑油市场-韩国的润滑油消费量在2019年降至10年低点889,600吨。在过去的20年中，韩国的润滑油消耗量一直保持在每年近100万升。
2019年汽车润滑油的销量下降了0.6％，而工业润滑油的销量下降了1.5％。船用润滑油受到的打击最大，由于去年船舶行业整体放缓，销量下降了近17％。
2019年，汽车润滑油占韩国润滑油总需求的三分之一以上，低于其他国家。汽车润滑油市场份额的下降归因于更长的换油周期，每辆汽车平均行驶里程的下降，以及一定程度上是电动汽车在国内市场渗透率的提高。
在韩国，2019年每辆汽车平均消耗机油15.1升，而2018年为15.5升。

South Korea’s lubricant demand posts 10-year low in 2019
Lubricant consumption in South Korea, the eighth-largest lubricant market in the world, fell to a 10-year low of 889,600 tons in 2019, according to the Korea Lubricants Industry Association. Over the past 20 years, South Korea’s lubricants consumption has remained at nearly 1 million litres per year.
Volume sales of automotive lubricants declined by 0.6% in 2019, while industrial lubricants sales volume decreased by 1.5%. Marine lubricants were hardest hit, as the shipping industry slowed down last year, with sales volume down by nearly 17%.
In 2019, automotive lubricants accounted for more than a third of total lubricant demand in South Korea, which is lower than other countries. The decline in market share of automotive lubricants was attributed to longer drain intervals, the decline in average mileage driven per vehicle, and to some degree, the increase in the penetration rate of electric vehicles in the domestic market.
In South Korea, an average of 15.1 litres of engine oil was consumed per vehicle in 2019, compared to 15.5 litres in 2018.
