Base oils are lubricating oils, used to produce motor oil, grease, and metal processing fluids. These oils, when produced by refining crude oil, are known as mineral base oils and, when produced by chemical synthesis processes, are called synthetic base oils. They can be categorized as paraffinic base oil and naphthenic base oil on the basis of their chemical structure.

The increasing demand for lubricants has boosted the global base oil market, notes the research study. The rapid rise in the automotive industry has fueled the need for motor oil and lubricants in the global arena, resulting in the increased demand for base oil in the recent times. The industrial development in the emerging countries is also stimulating the demand for base oil significantly in the global arena.

In addition to this, the rising trend of gas-to-liquid technology is projected to increase the supply of highly pure and effective base oils at reasonable prices during the forecast period. However, the declining price of crude oil as well as the shifting of refiners towards heavy, sour crude oil from its light, sweet version is likely to impact negatively on the worldwide base oil market over the next few years, states the market study.

The report evaluates the global market for base oil on the basis of the product, application, and its the regional spread. Based on the product, the market has been classified into group I base oil, group II base oil, and group III base oil. The group II and group III base oil segments are likely to register a significant rise over the forecast period, whereas the demand for the group I base oil is expected to plummet remarkably.
