Process Oil Market Feeding Off Prospering Tyre and Rubber, Polymer, Defoamer, and Textile, and Personal Care Products Industries

Produced by refining processes such as catalytic dewaxing and hydrocracking hydrocarbons, process oil is a specific type of crude oils that are largely used in the chemical and technical industries either as a raw material or as an aid to processing. Process oil’s attribute to increase the performance of tire and rubber products makes it highly useful for the tire and rubber industry. According to a recent IndustryARC's research report, the process oil market is poised for profitable progression during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023 owing to its expanding applications across the domains of cable fill, textile, personal care, polymer, tyre and rubber, defoamers, explosives, and crop protection spray oils.

• The growing popularity of bio-based transformer oil. Due to the susceptibility of mineral oil-based transformers to fire accidents, bio-based and naphthenic transformer oil usage is increasing and reflecting positively on the process oil market.

• The prosperity of the polymer industry. Process oil is used in the manufacturing of polymer products, which find application in diverse industries including medical devices, automotive, and consumer goods. 

• Increasing demand for personal care products. Consumers of personal care products such as face powder, bath soaps, and body lotions are inclining toward natural-based products, which are manufactured using process oils.

• Growing demand from the textile industry. In the textile industry, fiber products should have very low aging effects and discoloration, which can be achieved using process oils.
