The process oil market is projected to grow from an estimated USD 4.69 billion in 2018 to USD 5.60 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.6% between 2018 and 2023.

This growth is primarily driven by the tire & rubber segment of the market. The increasing number of light motor vehicles in developing regions is fueling the demand for tires, and subsequently the market for process oil.

The demand for tires from the two-wheeler segment has increased tremendously over the past few years. The Asia Pacific market is expected to provide a boost to the tire industry. The consumption of natural rubber is expected to grow at around 3-4% annually over the next few years in Asia Pacific. The synthetic rubber market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% over the next few years.

The increasing demand for non-carcinogenic process oil in Asia Pacific is a major factor driving the process oil market in the region. The growth of the process oil market is expected to be hampered by several regulatory guidelines issued by different governing bodies, which exert pressure on manufacturers and encourage the manufacturing of environment-friendly products.

Since 2010, the European Union has implemented legislation that mandates the rubber industry to develop new tire and rubber formulations without the use of potentially carcinogenic aromatic oil in compounding. The polycyclic aromatic (PCA) content of the new oil formulations should be less than 3% as per the IP 346 standard.

The US and China are the largest consumers of process oil. Royal Dutch Shell plc (Netherlands), Chevron Corporation (US), Petronas Lubricants Belgium NV (Belgium), Nynas AB (Sweden), ORGKHIM Biochemical Holding (Russia), Repsol S.A. (Spain), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (India) are the key players operating in the process oil market. New product launches, expansions, and collaborations are the major strategies adopted by key players to achieve growth in the process oil market.
