Heating oil additives are chemicals utilized to enhance the efficiency of a tank's ignition by modifying fuel specifications, such as viscosity and temperature. These additives typically include antioxidants that stabilize the oil, preventing its degradation and ensuring proper combustion of the fuel.
The primary types of heating oil additives include biocide, water controller, heating oil stabilizer, and oil gun cleaner. Biocides are additives specifically designed to address microbial growth inside the tank, controlling organisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria and iron-oxidizing bacteria, which can lead to corrosion and product degradation. These additives find applications in various fuels, including diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, and others, catering to industrial, residential, and commercial sectors.

The heating oil additives market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing manufacturing of automobiles. Automobiles, defined as motor vehicles with internal-combustion engines designed for operation on ordinary roads, utilize heating oil additives to enhance engine cleanliness, fuel efficiency, combustion efficiency, and prevent local overheating and chimney fires. The rising manufacturing of automobiles contributes to the expansion of the heating oil additives market. In July, total vehicle production in the United States increased to 11.77 million units, up from 10.91 million units in June, as reported by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Therefore, the growing automotive manufacturing sector is a significant driver for the heating oil additives market.
The growth in the aviation sector is anticipated to propel the heating oil additives market forward. The aviation sector, encompassing activities related to the design, development, production, operation, and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft, utilizes heating oil additives to enhance the performance and reliability of aircraft fuels, particularly in cold climates. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), airline industry net profits are expected to reach $9.8 billion in 2023, more than double the previous forecast of $4.7 billion. Thus, the expansion of the aviation sector is a key factor driving the heating oil additives market.
A prominent trend in the heating oil additives market is product innovations. Major companies within the market focus on developing innovative solutions to maintain their competitive position. For instance, Bollore Energy S.A., a France-based petroleum products producer, introduced Calorza, a biofuel blend consisting of 30% fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) derived from vegetable oil. This innovation reflects Bollore Energy's commitment to providing sustainable alternatives to traditional heating oils and addressing environmental concerns. The company collaborates with the FF3C to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in domestic heating oil.
Companies in the heating oil additives market also emphasize product innovations, such as single-oil solutions for MAN B&W two-stroke marine engines. In May 2022, Infineum International Limited launched the Infineum M8040 heating oil additive package, a single oil solution designed for MAN B&W two-stroke engines running on low sulfur fuels (<0.5% S). This additive package meets the new category II lubricant standards set by MAN ES, providing superior piston cleanliness.
