Base Oil Price Forecast: Key Trends Across Regions | IMARC Group

North America Base Oil Prices Movement Q4:

Base Oil Prices in the United States:

The USA Base Oil Price Forecast Chart for late 2024 showed a pretty stable market, with prices reaching 1667 USD/MT in December. Even though things were steady overall, there were a few minor price drops due to low demand from the lubricant sector. Before the hurricane season kicked in, suppliers made sure to pre-book barrels, and by October, inventories were looking good. Despite a cautious market outlook, limited spot sales in November helped maintain a balanced supply and demand situation. All these factors came together to shape the Base Oil Price Forecast Chart, highlighting how seasonal readiness and fluctuations in business demand play a crucial role in influencing price trends.

APAC Base Oil Prices Movement Q4:

Base Oil Prices in Singapore:

On the other hand, the Base Oil Price History Chart for Singapore in late 2024 took a noticeable downturn, with prices dropping to 783 USD/MT in December. This decline was mainly due to an oversupplied market and weak demand for lubricants. Even with some short-term plant shutdowns, October managed to maintain a steady supply, but the drop in crude oil prices in November cut production costs, putting even more pressure on base oil prices. The weakness in downstream demand led both local and international suppliers to quickly offload their excess inventories by year-end. These factors contributed to the downward trend in the Base Oil Price History Chart, illustrating how the imbalance between supply and demand, along with fluctuating crude oil prices, impacts market dynamics.

China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Hongkong, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand, among other Asian countries.

Europe Base Oil Prices Movement Q4:

Base Oil Prices in Netherlands:

The forecast for base oil prices in the Netherlands for late 2024 suggests an initial drop before stabilizing, with prices potentially dipping to around 963 USD/MT by December. Even though there were some supply issues in late October due to bad weather, the overall supply remained sufficient. A slump in lubricant demand, coupled with falling crude oil prices, also contributed to lower production costs, which in turn pushed prices down.

In November, ExxonMobil's inventory report provided some reassurance to the market, helping to prevent significant price drops and maintain stability. However, as suppliers began to clear out their inventories ahead of the holiday shutdowns in December, market activity slowed down, leading to further price reductions. All these elements played a role in shaping the Base Oil Price Forecast Chart, highlighting how supply adjustments and demand fluctuations can influence price trends.

MEA Base Oil Prices Movement Q4:

Base Oil Prices in Saudi Arabia:

Looking at the Base Oil Price History Chart for Saudi Arabia in the latter half of 2024, we see a pattern of volatility, with prices reaching 1652 USD/MT in December after a brief dip followed by a period of stabilization. Regional instability did impact exports, but October remained steady thanks to adequate supply levels. By November, the decline in crude oil prices began to exert pressure on production costs, further driving prices down.

In December, suppliers were actively adjusting prices to move inventory before the year-end, and the usual slowdowns in business during the Christmas and New Year holidays further reduced market activity. These factors all played a significant role in shaping the Base Oil Price History Chart, illustrating how geopolitical events, supply dynamics, and seasonal changes can affect pricing.

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, Iran, South Africa, Nigeria, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco, among other Middle Eastern and African countries.

Factors Affecting Base Oil Prices and Demand:

The prices and demand for base oil are shaped by several key factors. One of the most significant is the fluctuation of crude oil prices, since base oil is derived from refining crude petroleum. Industries like lubricants, automotive, and manufacturing play a major role in driving the demand for base oil, which in turn affects its pricing.

Additionally, disruptions in the supply chain, geopolitical issues, and environmental regulations can impact both the cost and availability of production. Seasonal changes, advancements in lubricant technology, and the rising popularity of synthetic options also play a part in influencing base oil demand and prices, creating a bit of market volatility.
