Base oil is a synthetic or refined petroleum mineral used in the production of motor oil, lubricating greases, and metal processing fluids. It is derived from crude oil extraction and the processing of high-viscosity materials from vacuum gas oil or vacuum residue distillation cuttings. The market’s growth is driven by the automotive industry’s increasing demand for high-quality oils and the industrialization of emerging economies. Additionally, the GDP growth of developing countries in the Asia Pacific region is contributing to the market’s global expansion.

COVID-19 Impact on Base Oil Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the end-use industries of base oil, particularly in 2020-2021. The demand for cars and commercial vehicles stalled during this period, with major automakers temporarily halting production. Stringent lockdown measures disrupted manufacturing, leading to economic uncertainty. Industrial oil demand declined in early 2020 due to reduced industrial production, retail sales, and investments. However, as lockdowns gradually lifted and governments supported the manufacturing and industrial sectors, the base oil market started recovering.
