Global Base Oil Market: Overview

Base oil is a blend stock used to formulate a range of lubricating oils for use in engines and other machinery. They are among the specialty products that can be obtained by the refinery. Generally, a lubricant consists of 10% additives and 90% base oil. Today, nearly all lubricants used in plants started as just base oil. Base oils are used to produce several products such as metal processing fluids, motor oil, and lubricating greases.

Global Base Oil Market: Growth Factors

The global base oil market is growing at a significant rate. Major factors that are fostering the growth of the global market include an increase in high-grade oil demand from the automotive industry, growing use of hydraulic oil in several industrial applications, and expansion of the transportation & logistics sector at a rapid rate. Further, there is a surge in the demand for synthetic oils that contain highly refined base oils from landscapers, agriculture professionals, construction contractors, and fleets as it helps to prolong the life of the engines in their vehicles.

In addition to this, it also provides benefits such as natural detergency, biodegradability with some synthetics (esters), extended drain intervals in some (clean) applications, lower engine hydrocarbon emissions, extended warranties by some equipment manufacturers, higher oil film strength with some synthetics, improved energy efficiency (less than 1 percent) due to better low-temperature properties, and higher viscosity index. All these factors are fostering the growth of the global base oil market. In addition to this, expanding the automotive industry and development in group II & III type of base oil is escalating the growth of the global market.

Furthermore, the growing demand for lubricants in developing countries may create numerous opportunities for the growth of the global base oil market over the forecast period. However, inconsistent costs of crude oil may hamper the growth of the global base oil market.

The onset of COVID-19 impact has severely affected the overall base oil market. Several factors including the impact on the automotive industry, metalworking fluid, and industrial oil are prominently causing the slow growth of the market. Strict lockdowns imposed by several governments have resulted in the halt of the manufacturing process of many base oil utilizer industries. In addition, disruption of the supply chain and shortage of raw materials are also contributing to the slow growth of the base oil market.
