Mineral Oil Market Outlook: Demand in Lubricants and Personal Care Products

Mineral Oil Market

Mineral Oil Market

The mineral oil market is experiencing strong momentum due to its extensive use across industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and automotive applications. Mineral oil, a clear and odorless derivative of petroleum, offers exceptional lubricating, insulating, and moisturizing properties, making it a versatile solution across diverse sectors. Rising industrialization, expanding automotive production, and growing demand for personal care formulations are key factors shaping the market's performance globally.

The Mineral Oil market was valued at USD 275.65 billion in 2024. It is expected to expand from USD 298.12 billion in 2025 to USD 652.74 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.15% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

Growing Industrial Demand Driving Market Expansion

One of the primary growth drivers of the mineral oil market is its substantial use as a lubricant in industrial machinery. Mineral oils reduce friction between metal components, enhance machinery performance, and prolong equipment lifespan, making them essential in manufacturing units, power plants, and production facilities. As industries continue to move toward automation and high-efficiency processes, the need for reliable lubrication solutions continues to rise.

Additionally, the construction and manufacturing boom in emerging economies has significantly boosted the consumption of mineral oils in hydraulics, gear systems, and metalworking fluids. The market is also benefiting from the increasing adoption of process oils in rubber and tire manufacturing, plastic production, and textile applications, making it a cornerstone of multiple industrial operations.

Expanding Role in the Automotive and Transportation Sector

The automotive industry is one of the most prominent consumers of mineral oil-based products. From engine oils to transmission fluids and brake oils, mineral oils remain indispensable for smooth vehicle performance. While synthetic and bio-based oils are gaining traction, mineral oils continue to dominate due to their affordability, compatibility with conventional engines, and strong lubricating properties.

The increasing production of commercial vehicles, passenger cars, and heavy-duty machinery across developing regions has further accelerated demand. Fleet expansion in transportation and logistics has led to a greater need for lubricants and maintenance fluids, driving steady consumption growth.

High Adoption in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products

Mineral oils are widely used in cosmetic formulations due to their excellent moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties. They act as emollients that help retain moisture, prevent dryness, and enhance product texture. Baby oils, body lotions, creams, lip balms, and makeup removers often incorporate pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil due to its safety profile and non-allergenic nature.

The global shift toward self-care and wellness, along with growing demand for skincare and haircare products, is creating a positive outlook for mineral oil suppliers. Cosmetic formulators continue to rely on mineral oils because they are stable, odorless, non-reactive, and cost-effective compared with alternative oils.

Electrical and Transformer Industry Boosting Consumption
Mineral oil plays a vital role in the power sector due to its ability to function as an effective electrical insulator and coolant. Transformer oils made from mineral oil protect high-voltage equipment by dissipating heat, preventing electrical discharge, and enabling reliable long-term operation. The rise in power grid expansion projects and renewable energy installations has increased the need for transformers, further strengthening the mineral oil market.

Upgrades of aging transmission infrastructure across developed economies and massive electrification programs across developing nations are expected to sustain demand in the coming years.

Pharmaceutical Applications Supporting Market Growth

In the pharmaceutical sector, white mineral oil is incorporated into ointments, laxatives, and topical medications. Its purity and inert nature make it suitable for formulations that require safe and skin-friendly substances. Growing healthcare expenditure, an aging global population, and rising medical product manufacturing are fostering steady consumption of pharmaceutical-grade mineral oils.

Market Restraints and Challenges

Despite its strong outlook, the mineral oil market faces certain challenges. Environmental regulations aimed at reducing petroleum-derived consumables are driving industries to explore greener alternatives. Additionally, the rising demand for synthetic and bio-based oils in high-performance applications may slow down market share growth in certain segments. However, cost advantages, wide availability, and proven performance continue to sustain demand for mineral oils across major industries.

Technological Advancements Creating New Opportunities
The mineral oil market is witnessing ongoing advancements in refining technologies. Improved purification processes are enhancing product quality, reducing impurities, and making mineral oils more compatible with sensitive applications such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Research and development efforts are also leading to the creation of specialty mineral oils tailored for high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on enhanced performance lubricants, biodegradable mineral oil variants, and long-life transformer fluids, opening new revenue opportunities.

Future Outlook: Sustained Growth Across Key Industries
The future of the mineral oil market remains optimistic as demand continues to emerge from industrial, automotive, pharmaceutical, and power sectors. The growing pace of global industrialization, coupled with infrastructure development initiatives and vehicle production, is likely to support stable sales volumes. Moreover, the personal care industry's strong appetite for safe and affordable emollients is expected to further reinforce market expansion.

In the long term, sustainability and regulatory compliance will play central roles in shaping product development. Companies investing in cleaner formulations, advanced refining processes, and industry-specific mineral oil solutions are poised to gain a competitive advantage.
