Our Middle East Lubricants Benchmarking Services

• Market and Competitive Benchmarking

We benchmark market share, product portfolio mix, and pricing structures across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and neighboring markets. Our analysis spans both automotive and industrial lubricant segments, assessing factors such as customer reach, brand perception, and channel performance.

By comparing results with leading regional and international competitors, we help clients understand their market positioning, identify underperforming segments, and develop strategies to improve brand competitiveness in dynamic lubricant markets.

• Operational and Supply Chain Benchmarking

Efficiency is central to success in the lubricants sector. We evaluate blending operations, logistics costs, and inventory management performance, benchmarking key metrics such as production yield, delivery lead times, and distribution costs per liter.

Our benchmarking covers regional hubs including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, offering insights into how companies can improve efficiency across their supply chains. We identify opportunities to streamline operations, enhance blending plant productivity, and improve overall cost performance.

• Product Quality and Technical Performance Benchmarking

We assess lubricant quality through key technical indicators such as viscosity index, thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and additive package performance. These parameters are benchmarked against international standards, including API (American Petroleum Institute), ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association), and OEM specifications.

Our testing and comparative analysis enable manufacturers and distributors in Saudi Arabia and the UAE to align product formulations with global benchmarks, supporting brand credibility and compliance with performance certifications.

• Sustainability and ESG Benchmarking

Sustainability has become a critical performance metric in the lubricants industry. We benchmark companies’ environmental and social practices—covering energy efficiency, waste oil recycling, and emissions reduction—against local and international sustainability frameworks.

In Saudi Arabia, our benchmarking aligns with the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources (MIMR) and the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO), which regulate lubricant product quality and environmental compliance. In the UAE, we align with the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) and the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), ensuring adherence to eco-labeling and recycling initiatives.

This dual regulatory alignment supports clients in meeting national sustainability targets while maintaining competitiveness in export markets.

• Pricing and Distribution Benchmarking

We benchmark wholesale and retail pricing models, distributor margins, and logistics costs across the Middle East. This comparative analysis helps companies refine pricing strategies, balance profitability with market share growth, and improve dealer performance.

Our team also assesses regional distribution structures—covering channel diversification, storage optimization, and network density—to help clients strengthen market penetration and service reliability.
