Insights into Segmentation Analysis

Automotive Oils at the Helm

The automotive oils category took the lead in 2022, driven by the lubrication needs of internal combustion engines. With the global automotive industry expanding, the demand for lubricants, and consequently, base oils, is on a steady rise.

Preferential Shift to Group II and Group III Base Oils

The Group I segment is poised to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. Widely used in general-purpose lubricants such as motor oils for older engines, hydraulic fluids, and industrial gear oils, Group I base oils cater to diverse applications.

The industry is witnessing a visible shift toward Group II and Group III base oils for their superior performance characteristics. Industries stand to benefit from longer intervals between oil changes, reducing maintenance frequency and costs, and meeting fuel efficiency and emissions regulations.

Dominance of Group II Base Oils Prevails

In 2022, the Group II category asserted its dominance in the industry. Renowned for a meticulous purification process resulting in higher purity and fewer contaminants, Group II base oils are preferred for various applications, including high-performance engines and industrial machinery.

Key Report Highlights

  • Automotive industry's swift expansion contributes significantly to the demand for base oils. The need for lubricants extends beyond new vehicle production, to the maintenance and repair of existing vehicles, sustaining steady demand.
  • Utilising sustainable sources such as plant oils, and animal fats, the market for base oils is witnessing a rise in bio-based and renewable base oils. The environmentally conscious consumer base is increasingly favouring these oils, attributing to their lower carbon impact as compared to petroleum-based alternatives.

Insights into Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific's Dominance Intact

Asia Pacific is poised to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period, driven by rapid industrial growth, particularly in countries like China, and India. The region's reliance on lubricants and base oils for machinery maintenance aligns with the escalating demand.

The market here is expected to spearhead throughout the period of projection, propelled by a plethora of ongoing building and infrastructure projects. The region's reliance on large machinery and equipment for such projects significantly contributes to the escalating demand for base oils.

Europe's Market Attractiveness on the Rise

Europe stands out as the fastest-growing region in the base oil market, leveraging advanced R&D in the lubricants sector.

Predominantly fuelled by advanced production and refining technologies, European businesses are adept at manufacturing high-quality base oils that align with stringent industry standards.

The region's strong commitment to sustainability, including recycling and re-refining spent lubricants, shapes the production of more environmentally friendly and recyclable base oil products.
