Base Oil Price Trend- Q4 2023

The base oil market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for high-quality lubricants used in various automotive and industrial applications. This surge is linked to the rising production of vehicles and the expanding manufacturing sector worldwide, which require advanced lubrication solutions to enhance engine efficiency and equipment lifespan. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations are pushing the industry towards the production of cleaner and more efficient base oils. For instance, the shift toward Group II and Group III base oils, known for their lower sulfur content and higher viscosity index, is becoming more pronounced as companies strive to meet these regulatory demands. The ongoing innovation in the sector, aimed at developing more sustainable and efficient lubrication technologies, also plays a crucial role. These factors collectively ensure a robust growth trajectory for the base oil market, as stakeholders continuously seek to balance performance enhancements with environmental sustainability.

Base Oil Market Analysis

The global base oil market size reached 33.2 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 39.9 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 2.00% during 2023-2032. In the last quarter, base oil prices were significantly influenced by the volatility in crude oil prices, which is a primary raw material in the production of base oils. The North American market in Q4 2023 witnessed significant fluctuations due to various factors. The market was impacted by a tight supply and demand balance of Group I and II grades, leading to a surge in prices during October. Additionally, the impact of price increments for base oil in the previous month showed its reflections in November, leading to several independent lubricant manufacturers increasing their product prices. Relatively, the market in Europe witnessed a bullish trend in Q4 compared with Q3. Despite the demand remaining low due to seasonal slowdown, holiday closures, and high borrowing costs, the supply of Base Oil remained high due to reduced production in other regions, shifting priorities, global market dynamics, and high inventory levels during October. However, at the beginning of November, the market was impacted by several factors, including the recent price hike by ExxonMobil in Europe that raised Group I Base oil prices to record highs, resulting in a surge in prices in Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium. The Q4 for base oil in the Asia Pacific region has seen a mixed market situation with October and November admitted a bullish trend, while December witnessed a significant drop. The top three factors that impacted the market were moderate demand and uncertainty about the downstream lubricant market. China's market experienced a 2.6% increase in price for Group I SN and remained stable for Group II Base Oil during October.
