The market share assumed by SIGAUS amounts to 88.78%
A new independent study of the lubricants market in 2021 reveals that 85.96% of the oils marketed in Spain correspond to SIGAUS member companies, and therefore the organisation is responsible for financing the management of the waste generated by this percentage of the total market. Likewise, as the majority IMS, SIGAUS voluntarily assumes an additional 2.81% that corresponds to unidentified companies that bring industrial oils into Spain. Therefore, the market share assumed by SIGAUS is 88.78%, applicable since 1 January.

SIGAUS has just published the data from the annual study carried out by the consultancy firm, PwC, on the lubricants market in Spain, which can be used to define the financial responsibility for the management of used oil that must be assumed by the different market players.
According to this study, which was carried out in the first months of 2022, based on 2021 data, the total marketing of lubricants in Spain amounted to 438,824 t, 11% up from last year, which reveals a strong recovery in the sector after the recession caused by the pandemic in the previous year.
Excluding industrial oils not subject to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), such as greases, process oils and marine oils, which account for almost 18.1% of the total, industrial oils subject to EPR amounted to 359,451 tons. In turn, more than 16,000 tons of industrial oils were exported; mainly oils for the first filling of vehicles manufactured in Spain and shipped abroad, with 343,142 tons of lubricants remaining on the national market (11.3% more than a year ago), which generate used oil management obligations for the agents who placed them on the market.

As of 1 January 2022, SIGAUS is responsible for 88.78% of the used oil generated in Spain.
„
Of this total, the study analyses the different shares of responsibility that lubricant marketing companies must assume in accordance with current regulations. Thus, the marketing of industrial oils by the companies adhered to SIGAUS represented 85.96%, while the share corresponding to companies adhered to SIGPI (IMS of Independent Producers) amounted to 6.80%.
For their part, the share of responsibility of vehicle manufacturers (oils for the first filling of vehicles, or their components, which generate used oil in Spain, under Royal Decree 265/2021) was 3.62%, while manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment are responsible for 0.79%.
The study also defines a share relating to “free riders”, which refers to unidentified manufacturers that are not included in any of the other fractions analysed and are, therefore, considered part of the “fraudulent sector”. On this occasion, this share, which is assumed voluntarily by SIGAUS as the majority IMS, amounted to 2.81%.
The results of the study show that, as of 1 January 2022, SIGAUS is responsible for financing the management of 88.78% of used industrial oil, a share that is seven tenths higher than that of the previous year (88.07%).
