Abstract

Abstract
The constant rise in consumption of lubricants and base oils is not equally spread in different markets and regions of the world. The trends in lubricant and base oil quality requirements, as well as the unevenness in demand depending on the quality and specifications of the certain markets have a great influence on the lubricant, base oil and lubricant additives industry.
The latest regulations on the environment protection have a special impact on the lubricant business in Europe and Croatia and they will primarily increase the responsibility of the industry, but simultaneously decrease its competitiveness.
The latest trends in the lubricant business in Croatia and the surrounding region as well as the synergistic effect of the continuous and increasing imports of the new industrial equipment and vehicles as well as current quality requirements in Europe will continue to show decrease in lubricant consumption in Croatia and the surrounding region.
