Base Oil Market Analysis
The Base Oil Market size is estimated at 41.26 Billion liters in 2024, and is expected to reach 47.98 Billion liters by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.06% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The demand for base oil decreased significantly in 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The virus caused production to decline in the automotive industry and various other industrial units (aviation, industrial, etc.) because of the reduction in the consumption of engine oil, gear oil, greases, and metalworking fluid. However, in 2021 and 2022, the base oil market recovered as car manufacturing and production activities across other industries ramped up.
- Over the short term, the primary factor to drive the market's growth is rapid industrialization in developing nations, considering the industrial application of base oil such as hydraulic fluid and industrial gear oil.
- On the flip side, fluctuations in crude oil prices and declining demand for Group I Base oils will likely hamper the market's growth over the forecast period.
- Nevertheless, innovation in recycling base oils will likely provide opportunities for the market studied during the forecast period.
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and will also witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. It is owing to significant demand from countries such as China, India, and Japan.
