Base oil is classified as hydrocarbons with 18 to 40 carbon atoms that have a boiling point between 550 and 1050 F. The various products such as lubricating oils, motor oil, metal processing fluids, and others are manufactured with the help of base oils.
The main types of base oil are mineral, synthetic, and biobased. The mineral oil is produced from a highly refined variant of ground-based oil. Mineral oils are widely utilized by classic and vintage automobile owners, in part as synthetic oils have a lower viscosity, which enhances the risk of leaks in older engines. The different groups include Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV, and Group V and is used in automotive oil, industrial oil, metalworking fluid, greases, hydraulic oil, and others.

The base oil market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31. 59 billion in 2023 to $33. 8 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7. 0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial growth, automotive sector expansion, globalization, regulatory standards.
The base oil market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $42. 27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5. 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to renewable and bio-based lubricants, asia-pacific dominance, research and development, globalization of supply chains. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards group ii and group iii base oils, focus on specialty and high-performance lubricants, digitalization and industry 4. 0 impact, collaborations and partnerships.
The growing automotive industry is expected to fuel the growth of the base oil market in the coming years. Advanced engine technology is driving the demand for motor oils and lubricating greases that gives compatibility to fast-moving parts and high temperatures. Moreover, engine oils that retain their viscosity, reduce engine wear to a minimum, and help assure dependability are made using high-quality base oil and best-in-class additive technology. Automotive base oil is a fluid for internal combustion engines that power automobiles, motorbikes, lawnmowers, generators, and a variety of other machinery. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU), in 2021, the global automotive sector is expected to grow by double digits, with new car sales increasing by 15% and commercial vehicle sales increasing by 16%.
Rapid industrialization is expected to propel the growth of the base oil market going forward. Industrialization refers to the process by which an economy transforms from primarily agrarian and manual labor-based industries to one dominated by mechanized, large-scale manufacturing and production processes. As industrialization progresses, there is a substantial increase in the demand for lubricants across various sectors such as manufacturing, construction, transportation, and more. Base oils are a fundamental component in formulating lubricants, and their demand rises in tandem with the need for lubrication solutions. For instance, in April 2022, according to Goldman Sachs, a US-based investment banking company, the Indian manufacturing sector had growth of 210% in the fiscal year 2021-2022, compared to the fiscal year 2020-21, as well as a substantial increase in new investment and ordering activity. Compared to 2019-20, the manufacturing sector saw a 460% increase in 2021-22. Similarly, in March 2022, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), global manufacturing production increased by 9. 4% in 2021. Therefore, the rapid industrialization is driving the growth of the base oil market.
Major companies operating in the base oil market are focused on developing new technologies, such as a new product family of lubricants called Neste ReNew, to increase their profitability in the market. Neste ReNew is a new family of lubricants introduced by Neste as a renewable and circular solution. Neste's commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions has led to the development of innovative products such as Neste ReNew Base Oil, which aims to provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional base oils used in lubricant production. These renewable base oils contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach in the lubricants industry by offering high-quality performance while reducing environmental impact. For instance, in February 2023, Neste, a Finland-based oil refining and marketing company, introduced new and more sustainable lubricants produced with renewable or re-refined base oils. These lubricants are designed to be environmentally sustainable and contribute to reducing carbon emissions. They are produced from renewable and sustainable feedstocks, such as vegetable oils and animal fats, as opposed to conventional petroleum-based feedstocks.
Major companies operating in the base oil market are focused on innovating new technologies, such as Oxlube L7-NPG ester base oil for EV (Electric vehicle) fluids, to increase their profitability in the market. Oxlube L7-NPG is a type of ester-based oil specifically designed for use in electric vehicle (EV) fluids. It is designed to improve the performance and efficiency of EVs by providing efficient heat transfer, conductivity, and lubrication. For instance, in September 2022, OQ Chemicals, a Germany-based chemical company that specializes in producing a wide range of chemicals used in various industries, launched Oxlube L7-NPG ester base oil for EV fluids. It has excellent thermal stability, meaning it can withstand high temperatures without degrading.
In April 2022, Chevron Global Energy Inc., a US-based energy company, acquired Neste Corporation's NEXBASE™ brand.
