White Oil Market - By Grade (Food, Pharmaceutical, Technical), By Application (Plastics & Polymers, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Food Industry, Textile) By Region & Global Forecast to 2032

White Oil Market Size

White Oil Market size surpassed USD 2 billion in 2022 and is poised to depict over 2% CAGR through 2023-2032. This is the result of an increase in construction spending and the accelerating use of plastics in industrial applications.
 

Due to their versatility, white oils are utilized in a range of applications, including the plastic industry as a process oil. Various new infrastructure development funds are also being introduced by governments in prominent regions. For example, the U.S. Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act, announced in November 2021, will provide USD 500 billion in new spending and create over 100,000 construction jobs by 2023. Such factors will proliferate the need for plastics to design construction components such as screws and consequently augment industrial white oil market demand.
 

White oils also play a key role in thermoplastic elastomer manufacturing. This industrial lubricant is adopted as an extender in processing elastomeric material without vulcanization to facilitate fabrication. With the steady recovery in auto sales, especially in emerging nations, the consumption of elastomers for vehicle tire applications will rise. This, in consequence, will amplify white oil production for the expanding elastomer industry. The volatility in crude oil prices may, however, assert a negative impact on industry development to some extent.
 

The adoption of innovative technologies and increase in the adoption of group II base oil by various manufacturers have positively impacted the global white oil market share. Lubrication professionals widely use them as both synthetic and mineral-based lubricants in their plants. White oils are also utilized in the manufacturing of specialty adhesives and elastomers due to their water- and moisture-resistant properties, which will fuel the market expansion.
 

White Oil Market Analysis

White oil market value from the pharmaceutical grade segment will exceed USD 750 million by 2032, as a result of the mounting drug intake and the high burden of animal diseases. As per the CDC, more than 6 in 10 known infectious diseases can be spread from animals. Since the product is widely adopted in animal vaccine manufacturing, the increasing risks of zoonotic diseases will amplify the usage of pharma-grade white mineral oil. This substance is also gaining traction in the production of other pharmaceutical products such as gelatin capsules, ointments, and laxatives, further contributing to its consumption.
 

The potential outlook for medical, personal care, and cosmetic applications providing improved longevity, purity, and consistency will boost white oil market growth. The growth is owing to exceptional skin compatibility, low irritancy, low environmental impact, and resistance to bacteria and other unwanted elements. Enhanced economic conditions coupled with rapid industrialization and urbanization in the emerging countries will support the industry growth.
 

The personal care & cosmetics application segment is set to register gains at nearly 3% through 2032. White oils are emerging as a key component in emollients and moisturizers for cosmetic and personal care applications including suntan lotions, baby oil, skin creams, and makeup removers. The incorporation of such products in consumers’ daily personal care routines will therefore fuel the requirement for cosmetic ingredients such as white oil. Likewise, the robust demand for durable, pure, and consistent products, alongside increasing consumer expenditure will further expedite the usage of white oil in personal care & cosmetics applications.
 

Asia Pacific white oil market will be valued at more than USD 1.5 billion by 2032, on account of the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases including cancer. According to the WHO, NCDs cause an estimated 9 million deaths per year, half of which are premature, in Southeast Asia. The increasing burden of such ailments is anticipated to promote the use of ingredients such as white oils in drug manufacturing applications. Additionally, the introduction of favorable policies and initiatives to support pharma sector development will further augment white oil production in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Drug manufacturing has witnessed a significant spike since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate the disruptions in the medicine supply chain, several regulatory bodies have also entered partnership deals in prominent regions, including the EU. The EMA (European Medicines Agency), for instance, partnered with several entities from the European medicines regulatory network to establish measures that would mitigate potential disruptions to medicine supply across the EU during the crisis.
 

 Factors such as these will, in turn, promote the utilization of high-quality medical-grade white oil across the pharma sector. Moreover, businesses are continuing to enter supply chain agreements with distributors and deals to ensure seamless product distribution, thereby providing lucrative opportunities for white oil market expansion.
